    UNC vs. DUKE
    Alright let's go ahead and get this thread started. I just looked and Bookmaker has it at UNC-2 (-110). What you guys have and why? I normally don't bet big UNC games like this because I am a huge UNC fan but I woke up this morning thinking about individual matchups and for the life of me I just can't see Duke being able to match up with Carolina's big 3 (Hansbrough, Thompson, Davis). I also thing Carolina may have a slight advantage on the wing with Ellington and Green because Henderson is Duke's best defender but he can't gaurd both of them. That leaves one of the two matched up against someone who is much shorter. I want everyone's opinion so I can see if I have a selfish opinion because I am a fan of theirs or if what I see is true. FYI: my best friend is a Duke fan and the loser tommorow night has to wear a mohawk for a week. Wish me luck if you think I may need it because I would love to keep my rug. Just a friendly little bet but I want to put some money on it if can gather enough information to make a good pick.

    UNC is a great pick...minus 2, minus whatever.....Easily the best team in the nation. Now as you are a fan you know they have faltered, but when it comes to a game like this everybody will be up... i agree with the Big 3 dominating this game...I'm all over it all fukkin day......GL

      Thanks for the response and opinion but let's not forget that this game is at Cameron where Carolina is 3-0 in the last three games. That means that Tyler and everyone under him has never lost at Cameron. Ipersonally think they do what it takes to get the job done. I just wanted to get other peoples opinions. Yours is greatly appreciated. I do know we will be one of the last 4 standing in late March and i believe we have the experience of losing to KU last year that will help us in the final games.

          I like Duke tomorrow. Better coached team at home with a lot more to prove right now. Either way its going to be a great game. Im going to pick duke to win for my pre-game bet, but wait for a good looking in-game live bet before i throw my big money down.

            I'm on Duke myself. I think they'll launch about 50 shots from behind the arc, its really their only chance based on your analysis.

              Im a big Duke fan but I just don't see them winning this. UNC -2 is pretty much a gimme in my opinion. This team has gone downhill the past few weeks. It sucks because at the begining of the year I felt as if they had a chance to win it all. Now probably a 2nd round knockout once again.

                    coach K has more wins, more experience, coached an olympic gold medal team, MANY more coaching awards and has coached 3 national championteams to williams 1. I would say he is a better coach, despite williams having a higher career winning percentage.

                      I had UNC a -6 to 7 in this game. -2 is a gift, there is no way this tired Duke team keeps up with UNC who rotate thier players so well. Last year Duke wins in UNC but no TY..with Ty they handled Duke at Cameron. Singler is cold from the outside, Zubek is no longer an option and the list cold go on an on why I like UNC. I think UNC wins this game by 10 to 12 points tomorrow. GL cause I know most people will be taking UNC.

                        Coach K is a joke.... OK a grain of salt is added to that comment, but I hate how how gets all this God-like praise....Right now ESPN has WVU playing Duke in the regionals of the regionals (if that makes any sense)....God I would love the Mounties to send them home once again!!!! Anyhow.....UNC dominates this game after the first 10 minutes and -2 is the best bet all Week.........

                            UNC will be way too athletic for Duke IMO. The rivalry part concerns me but UNC won't have any trouble scoring inside and that should bode very well for them. I cant believe UNC is only -1.5 to be honest. I'm gonna bet UNC huge, but I hate both teams with a passion.

                              Agree with everything you wrote T Powell. Inside they have advantage, 3pt shooting they have the advantage and no one on Duke can stop Ty, as shown last year at cameron. Duke is tired, they have had tough games lately...I cant decide if I make this my biggest play ever. The only knock on UNC is their D, its pretty bad but DUke's O is just not good right now.

                                  By the time this game gets late, Duke's legs will be gone more than likely. I would anticipate that UNC will run and gun all game. Duke normally doesn't play too many guys (especially for extended minutes) so I think fatigue could kill them with how fast UNC will want to play. Only way Duke wins is if UNC just completely folds on defense or if they decide to try to outshoot Duke from the outside

                                    who in their right fuuucken mind would ever bet against duke at home regardless of the circumstance. not to mention against their TOP rival. and for anyone to contemplate this game as ur largest bet ever is just ludacris. as an experienced capper i hope u look real long and hard into this game and even then for your sake please do not pound unc

                                      Snevens- i agree. I really really want to place some $$ on UNC -2 but i cant. I cant stand them and will not in any way shape or form root for them. Im a Duke fan. Something tells me Duke may show up. In Coach K i trust. You are right though, you can not bet against Dukeeee at home against Mr. Crybaby and Co.

                                        How in the world can you "not bet against Duke at home" against a far better UNC team? Ridiculous logic...you know what would have happened had you bet against Duke at home the past three seasons against UNC? You would have won...three times.

                                        UNC lost to Duke when Lawson was out. When he's in, Duke has zero chance. But, any dookie that wants to lose money...i'm not going to complain!

                                        I'm riding UNC -2 all the way to the bank.

                                            One word here boys HEELS you saw what clemson did to duke if they come to play like that tomorrow this game will be stopped at halftime. Oh and when duke is down by 15 please watch coach k sit on the bench with his tail between his legs and give up he does this way to much.. I read this earlier and i think is saw someone say duke is a better coach team please explain i don't quit get that statement. And i hope my Henderson takes an elbow to the ****in mouth tomorrow night and looses 4 teeth.. Go Heels.. i don't see how they get beat yes its a rivalry but unc is just so much better but i guess since duke has the better coach that gives them the win in some peoples eyes.. He can sit over there and coach all he wants but when they execute what coach k says then its over... ANd yes that will happen!

                                                          guys, Duke couldnt beat UNC if they played on the ****ing moon. UNC is WAY too big and athletic for them. They'll push it all night and wear Duke down. Do you think Duke can stop Hansbrough inside???? Can they stop anybody inside? This Duke team is legit if they are playing a team with similar athletic ability, but UNC does not fit that bill.
