    Duke Goes Down Tonight?
    Got a bad feeling about this game. Albany was able to push Duke way better than anyone expected in Duke's opener. Creighton handled Cincinnati surprisingly well.

    After what Wichita State was able to do against Gonzaga nothing surprises me any more.

    This game has upset written all over it.

    I'm taking Creighton +210.

    Creighton is a poor mans Duke. Duke dominates these kinds of teams. It's teams like Indiana/Arizona that match up physically that can give them trouble.

    Duke comfortably by 8-15.

      Couldn't agree more. Think this is a great match up for Duke

        I don't about that tto. Creighton has a big man with a nice shooting touch and a decent physical game in Greg Echenique. They have a a guy who averaged over 23 points a game this season to along with 8 rebounds a game in McDermott.

        Duke is going to get pushed to the limit tonight. If you think Duke is going to win by 15 ask yourself why they are only favored by 5.5.

        This is a trap game with upset all over it.

            A lot is going to depend on Ryan Kelly. If he plays like a soft pussy, Echenique will eat him alive.

            McDermott too. Plumlee can't handle the both of them by himself.

            Plus Creighton has decent 3 point shooters to keep Duke's man to man D honest the whole game.

              Line looks extremely soft. The softest line of the tournament IMO. Philly... you're on to something there.

                How is Creighton going to stop Duke? Creighton will score but won't stop Duke.

                  Duke is better in every single facet of the game.

                  I'll take Seth curry and Ryan Kelly over that Echenique fellow and McDermott all day. And then look at whose left..... Duke shouldn't have a problem here.

                  Like MSU/Memphis yesterday, just a bad matchup for the dog. If creighton plays their game they are playing into Dukes strengths.

                  Only chance for Creighton is if they are raining threes and duke can't make a shot, possible, but I wouldn't put money on it happening.

                          I don't buy into the idea of a trap game this far into the dance. Unlike a team full of disloyal one-and-doners like Kentucky, the boys from Duke will break their back to win this trophy. And Gonzaga was super overrated and Wichita State created havoc all up and down, Coach K's boys are on another level.

                            Because Albany is faster and blacker than Creighton. That's the teams that can give Duke trouble, not a mid-major version of themselves.

                              Just take the points. The ml is going up which means duke will win by ft's at the end.

                                  OK tto. Just put your money on that sucker 5.5 spread like 98.9874381% of the rest of the country and shed tears of sorrow after the game when the books are laughing hysterically.

                                  I am an AVID Duke Basketball fan. Trust me when I tell you, this is a bad matchup for Duke.

                                    Your out of your mind. No one is blacker than North Carolina and Duke wipes their ass with them. Creighton is smart, tough, and hungry.

                                      I don't think you can really compare Albany staying close to Creighton winning or doing the same. I mean I guess FGC is going to beat San Diego state then.

                                        UNC played like shit when they played. And if Duke is on, which they clearly were, they win the title this year.

                                        Find me the last time Duke lost to a team in the tourney that was based around shooters...... I'll be here a while cause you won't find it.

                                          The tournament is all about matchups. MATCHUPS!

                                          Pre-Tournament favorites don't mean shit right now.

                                          This is a bad matchup for Duke. Creighton with two very good big men and backed by decent 3 point shooters.

                                            Again... Find me the last time Duke lost to a team of shooters, you say it's a bad matchup, but really it's the one coach K sits in his office and hopes for.

                                              the line seems a little sketchy to me however i could never play creighton ml...mcdermott is a beast and easily a lottery pick in the next nba draft...but duke is still a much better program with much better talent and their guard play alone will allow them to control the game

                                                Just took Creighton +6. Added to my previous play.

                                                  Duke also lost to UVA and Maryland. Let's try to keep the conversation real at least.

                                                    A lot of teams lose in conference road games. Did Creighton go unbeaten in the MVC? Nope. They lost to worse teams than Maryland and Virginia.

                                                      Yeah, but they beat a much better team than Duke played in the first round.

                                                                Duke will beat Creighton imo. Coach K is not going to lose for second straight year in round of 32. Duke is the better team.
