Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 you live and die by the 3 when you have no inside game whatsoever.
20FAN07 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Just because of a loss doesn't mean their overrated. Sure they should win these games, but when everyone is gunnin for you your gunna slip up sometimes. They will be in the runnin till the end...
KFDM COOP Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Believe that was the first time in Years Miami beat them.

Sure they should win these games, but when everyone is gunnin for you your gunna slip up sometimes. They will be in the runnin till the end... Duke should have at least 3-4 more losses this year. PITT exposed them and we didnt know it at the time, Wake brought it up again and Miami took advantage and really exposed them.
bullets13 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Duke is indeed overrated. Still, they are capable of beating any team in the country on any given night.
Ruckdad Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Are they the #2 team in the country - No. However, are they still one of the best ten or so teams this year, Yes. ANd they are capable of going to the Final Four again. THey do shoot a lot of threes, but they also play terrific defense and force turnovers. And their guard play is excellent, which is what drives tournament success.
DBD 22 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Let me guess scooter you are a North Carolina fan? Duke is not overratted by any means every team in NCAA has a bad stretch during the season I am just glad that ours is coming now instead of during the tournament.
baddog Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 How can a team have so much success and be overrated? Duke is in the mix every year. Lots of their players make it to the NBA. Duke only has one senior on the entire team this season, so they can only get better.
HoOpStAr Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I think Duke is overated too. If they couldn't shoot 3 point shots they would have a hard time winning any game. They have no post play whats so ever. I think they should focus on just getting post to there school. They have GREAT gaurd play.

Duke is not overratted by any means every team in NCAA has a bad stretch during the season I am just glad that ours is coming now instead of during the tournament. I see your pretty new on here---I'm a Longhorn fan. And in the tourney I think Duke only goes 2 deep. if not a loss early like last year.
DBD 22 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 What does it matter if I am new on here? I only post on here when I believe in something or something does not make sense to me.

What he meant was that anyone who's spent any amount of time in the college BB threads knows that scooter bleeds burnt orange.

I see your pretty new on here---I'm a Longhorn fan. And in the tourney I think Duke only goes 2 deep. if not a loss early like last year. There are a lot of teams in the nation that would love to go two deep into the tournament. I mean they are 22-3 and first in the ACC which is historically the toughest basketball conference in the coountry (but down a bit this year) and have beaten UNC on the road, Marquette on the road, Clemson, Wisconsin, (all ranked) and Maryland twice. They do lack post presence, but how many teams have a dominant post presence. Wake beat Duke at their own game, and Miami almost let them back in after the worst half of basketball I have seen Duke play. Will I be surprised if Duke loses before the Sweet 16? No, it's the NCAA tournament! But I also won't be surprised in they get to the Final Four.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Posted February 22, 2008 The only team i think besides UT that can flat out win it all with just guard play is Tennessee because their defense is the best in all of college b-ball.
