Ummmm....why is Duke ranked 7th?

[Bullajami]

They are dismantling a 20th ranked Wisconsin team. Who can beat them?

[DrunkenLullaby]

Well, North Carolina and UCLA for starters. Then I'd probably take a look at the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th ranked teams if I was looking for other candidates.

maybe Wisconsin just isn't that good.....

Duke had a great game but let's not start giving them a 1 seed just yet. This isn't a great team. An athletic team that can shut down their three point shooting can blow them out of the gym.

[Willie Bee]

Athletic teams with solid perimeter defenses will shut down a lot of teams. All I know is I wish a 22-11 season (like Duke last year) was my school's 'down year' over the last two decades or so.

Duke is better than last year. No question about that...

How much better will be determined in March not in November. I personally think their lack of a solid post presence will eventually be their downfall. As others have stated, on nights when the three ball isn't going down, Duke can be had.

They were very impressive in dismanteling Wisky last night. But as Buddy Bear said, maybe Wisconsin just isn't very good this year.

Teams that are better than Duke:

UCLA
Memphis
Kansas
UNC
Georgetown
A&M
Louisville
Tennessee
Texas
BYU
Gonzaga (with Heytvelt)
Wazzou

Probably a few others as well.

Don't forget MSU rjt.....

Don't forget MSU rjt.....

Thought I had mentioned them... definitely meant to. I have MSU as one of my Final Four teams (along with UCLA, Memphis and Tennessee), so needless to say I think they're much better than Duke.

Duke has way too many white players which alwys leads to their downfall

C'mon coach, you can do better than that. Stick to the black QB debate if you really want to piss people off re:race. This quote is so wrong, it's more laughable than inflammatory.
