Blue its pointless to argue with you about your teams. We did this with the Jets and now we can do it on Duke. Either way you are definitely a homer. Are you a terrible homer who doesn't realize half the shit he says is retarded? No. Do argue about shit about your team that people who aren't fans of your team see and bring up but the fans of the team won't admit? Yes Half of this doesn't even make sense, but I'm actually as critical on my team as anybody. I admit that we probably won't beat Nova. ok you are a homer about the Jets... marty and i always were critical about you guys getting excited about shit but it didnt matter what we said because you were a jets fan and knew your team better than us (more or less) the same thing can go on and on about duke right now I'm not saying I'm right but what you are saying definitely is not right either. There are several types of homers out there. Are you the fan who thinks everything about his team is the amazing? No you aren't like that. Do you overrate what your team does and think it is always a positive? Yes

ok so 4 starters and barack would beat duke by double digits I know Haberman will agree with this nova is really inconsistent though. they would've beaten anyone today. crazy performance. stokes was red hot, fisher finished everything, forced so many turnovers off of pressure, cunningham is a stud, and reynolds played one of his smartest games. but they don't always click. duke will be in that game, no doubt in my mind.

Duke has some pretty good perimeter defenders (Singler, Henderson, Williams) but I'm worried about guys like Fisher and Reynolds getting into the lane and creating open shots for others. I'm not as worried about Villanova's pressure because Duke's done a terrific job limiting turnovers over the last few weeks.

Should be an interesting game
I didn't think Duke had a great team this year, but I had a feeling they would make a deep run again. None of the teams they faced in the first 2 rounds I thought had a realistic shot of beating them. After watching, their last four games I feel like Duke doesn't have much of a shot to beat Villanova unless they don't show up which is very unlikely imo.

Played the game of their life? Are you fucking kidding me? They beat the weakest team UCLA has had in 5 years by 20 points. They beat Syracuse, Marquette, and Pitt by double digits this year. Those are all much more impressive than yesterdays game. Why do I think Villanova will win? I watched them both play about 8 to 10 times this year and have not thought Duke was a better team than Nova since early January.

Nova is the most inconsistent very good team in the NCAA this year. They can be great one night or average the next. Unless they play poorly or Duke plays their best game, I don't see how Duke is going to win.

Last weekend when I was listening to espn radio. Some guy was comparing the Big East, Big Ten, and ACC for best conference. He said you have to do this by comparing the top 8 teams in each. He immediately eliminates the Big Ten and says the Big East has a slight advantage in the top 4 teams. He then goes on to compare the next 4. He completely leaves out Marquette vs Clemson (major advantage Big East if James is considered)
He then went on to 6 7 and 8 teams. He said it was BC Maryland Miami vs Notre Dame WVU Georgetown. I forget who the analyst was, but he went on a 5 minute rant about the ACC being better because of ND and Gtown having down years and still being in the BE top 8.
Notre Dame finished 9th Georgetown finished 12th
I don't know why I brought this up. I guess its another example of some of the idiots that work for espn. Also, I feel like people really think the ACC was comparable to the Big East this year. I never thought it was. The first 3 days of the tournament have proven the Big East is by far the better conference.

Can't wait to see the Nova-Duke game. I picked Nova and I think they match up extremely well with Duke. They will spread Duke out and make them guard man to man all across the board. Duke needs to bring their game to win this game or have Nova play average. If Nova plays like they did against UCLA or in the 2nd half against American, I see about an 8-9 point Nova win.

Meh. The guy on CBS just said he will only play in 2-3 minute increments, and won't have a big impact on the game.

Duke rarely plays anything other than a straight-up man to man defense, that's their bread and butter. If Duke can do a relatively good job keeping the Nova guards out of the lane and keep them from getting 2nd chance points, it should be a very close game. Tall task for Duke but they have a chance.
