could someone show us the matchups, they did beat ky so to say they can't beat duke is crazy. Duke might not shoot well at all.
Also doesnt michigan state matchup well with butler

from a player IQ standpoint I think Duke players can spell their own name, so that is one thing Duke has that Kentucky did not
Coach K will probably have Duke play a more intelligent game plan then to keep shooting 3's until you make 2 in a row
WVU will probably be hard pressed to match their 3 point shooting from the KY game

duke by 6 is what my gut tells me;; wv had a perfect storm vs ky;; ky 4-30 or so on 3pters and wv shots were all falling;; odds are very hi that this perfect storm doesnt hit again;; if anything wv might go cold on 3's

Any chance? LOL
The line is only -2 for a reason. This is one of the few times all year that Duke doesn't have a decided advantage on the opponent in defense and rebounding. In fact, I expect West Virginia to kill Duke on the boards, and that should be the difference in the game.
In other words, not only does West Virginia have a chance, but I think they most likely win this.

agree with cap10, wvu's luck of opponents has run out, they got by a thug bunch out of kentucky and duke can board like crazy, have you seen zoubek!? this guys nuts on the boards and i don't think he gets enough credit. duke has been getting off to such slow 1h's but have still come back to cover, if they keep that up should be a 3-5 pt win easy, if they get off to a normal start it should be dd... didn't we just see you need smarts to win here.... uk much dumber than wvu... wvu much dumber than duke

I repeat, West Virginia should kill Duke on the boards and that will be the difference in the game.
Duke is a very good rebounding team. West Virginia may be the best rebounding team in the country.

WV defence will swarm all over the inside game of Duke with good pressure on the outside to keep the threes from raining i think wvu has a great chance of not only covering but taking the next step to the BIG GAME

Well it would be tough to cover +2 and not win outright.

not really........you're risking a 210 dollar swing, or 110 dollars if its a push......just for an extra 20 bucks

this day honestly couldnt be going any worse. All you people need to shut the **** up. Like LT said the spread is 2. How does that not tell you that even the experts know anyone can win.
Why did you start this thread? You honestly didnt know that a 2 seed has a chance to beat a 1 seed? Are you that dumb?

Duke by 5-6 points would have been ideal for the bookies here. My opinion: Duke blows them out in the 2H. 8 point win by Duke is not unreasonable. Duke doesn't tilt. They play a constant game and they are solid under pressure. Can they lose? Of course! Any team, anywhere can lose anytime. Nothing is a lock. But why would I put money on WVU? Duke wins this game by 10+ probably 20 times / 100. Duke loses the game way less, and nearly never gets blown out.
Just my opinion, but my money is on Duke tonight. Duke -2.5. g/l to everyone and enjoy the game.

More than an extra 20 bucks, it is +130 vs. -110. In the long run, +130 ML is better than +2 -110, those games don't land on 1 or 2 often enough to compensate for the premium you are paying for +2.

How about at +3 LT? I am hedging my bracket with a bet on WVU, but might get greedy and attempt to win both bets. Take the +3 -110 or ML @ +135?
lol duke will take this, some of the bets people here take, wow, i got duke straight up, no spread
