vs Ohio st and Miami @ HOME... I dont give credit to Duke for winning at home. Why? If you follow ACC basketball you would know why Dont forget they got DESTROYED by Miami on the road.

nropp

Right, they got DESTROYED on the road by Miami without Kelly.  Totally different team with him in there. 

I think Michigan has bust written all over them.

There again.... If you understand ACC basketball then you would understand the angle im at here. Teams are almost not allowed to win @ Duke. Officiating wont allow it. Officiating in this league is beyond dirty.... Hell the Miami heat might have a rough time winning @ Duke...

Here is the truth about Duke....and only people here in ACC country can vouch for this. Duke and UNC get " special treatment " from officials and it's always been that way for years. UNC and Duke people dont like to hear that, but it's just fact. What happens when they leave this " Bubble "???? The real world. Real officials making real calls.... Sorry Duke, in the NCAA's you dont get the running charge call like you do here in the ACC. It's just fact Plus Duke doesnt have a guy other than cook that can break a guy down off the bounce. This is a very un athletic team, and it will be proven out.




guess youve never heard of rasheed sulaimon?? he can get to the basket whenever he wants. and the "duke and carolina gets all the calls" whining that gets heard every year is a just excuses by fans of teams that have no business being in the acc..... like clemson. i guess the 9 titles the blue devils and tar holes have were given to them as well hahahahahahah. the only teams you listed of the 10 with a shot are butler(because theyve proven they can get there) and indiana. the rest have no shot.

C'mon Boom. The Dukies belong on your list now. They are playing right into a number 1 seed.

This time of the year I crank things up a notch and would like to give a small sample of what I believe could be beneficial. Now I believe after watching basketball this season, I think that there is only about 10 teams Who Can The Championship. In NO order.



Indiana
Gonzaga  
Michigan
Florida
Miami
Michigan st
Kansas
Louisville
Ohio st
Butler

What do all these teams have in common?

They all either have....

  1. Great coaching
  2. "Been there before"
  3. Great Guard play

What most people I believe misunderstand about picking a team that can win the tournament, miss this one very important thing. Can they win 6 games? I know that sounds stupid but it's true! Can a team win 6 games? I believe any of these teams can possibly do that. Good basketball teams can make a run and win 3 or 4 games on seeding or a single player gets hot, but can they do it for 6 games?

I personally believe that in the NCAA tournament coaching is the biggest factor. And there again, I think none of you can point at any of these teams and say, hey, this guy is just clueless.


When Conference Tournament play starts, I will start posting some plays.... Hope some of this was helpful and I look forward to some good conversation.


 



8 out of my 10 are still left.....

and no.... DUKE will not do shitttt
