    If you had to pick a team to win it other than Duke, who would you go with?

        I mean, Virginia lost to Duke by 2 AT DUKE. Cant count them out, I know last year was a disaster but they look strong this year.


        Tenn to me is a very very good team, maybe they have a shot


        Nova is on fire and they have the experience which certainly helps

        Michigan looking great as well

        I know Tenn and Zaga are 2 higher favorites but man they seemingly choke every year. Tenn looks like a different team this year to be fair

            Virginia scares the hell out of me b/c of last year

            Tenn... i wonder how good the coach is

            and with Zaga will not playing a tough conference schedule help or hurt i wonder

                Not so high on Duke, they potentially go through Villanova and UK, and that's no easy feat... Zags have a clearer path. I'd take Zags and Virginia as think the Cavs can beat Michigan. Tennessee?! Might go up against the Tar Heels and that's a potential upset. Tennessee has been money but lost to Kansas and almost lost to the Zags whilst playing at home. Maybe their match against UK will change my mind

                            nope, a coach who knows how to coach beats them. they mostly play playground basketball take a lot of 3's a lot of dribble drive just out there wasting a lot of energy. an x's and o's coach who just has even some talent on his team beats them. just a lot of hustle bball. once you slow the game down and every possession really matters, which is what happens in the tourney, then they become fish out of water.

                                Duke relying too much on Zion. Teams will run a defensive zone to triple team him.

                                  I find it ironic that last time you asked if anybody could beat Duke, the Cuse came in and beat them in Cameron. Now you ask this and Duke’s next game happens to be at UVA. Hmmmm I wonder what will happen on Saturday.

                                    I caught NV at 40-1 to win it all before the Martins and Caroline announcement that they would return. If they are hot, they can beat anyone. Muss has exceptional b-ball experience, smarts, and passion. With their combined years of college ball this roster is a threat to all teams. You can’t write them off especially in crazy March madness.

                                      40-1 good deal should be a #2 seed.........dont think they could win but you could get a good hedge opportunity if they make the final 4

                                        Aight so I’m seeing Tenn +750, Zaga +600, Duke +177

                                        Can Tennessee or Zaga really beat Duke?

                                          take duke to go 6-0 ATS all tourney.

                                          start with $100, all in every bet after 6 games will win you roughly 6k. Better than the +177 odds

                                            Really?? Wow that adds up quick.

                                            highly doubt they go 6-0 ATS these odds makers are sharp

                                                    Tennessee possibly could be a threat, but it does seem like Duke is the runaway favorite at this point. Anything can happen in the tournament, however.

                                                        I feel confident enough to go ahead and say Villanova will NOT win the national championship this year. They are not deep enough and very dependent on the 3. A nice team but very different than the past few years.

                                                                start with $100, all in every bet after 6 games will win you roughly 6k. Better than the +177 odds

Duke will be tough for anybody to beat if they shoot like they did against Kentucky and Virginia where they seemingly made everything from the 3 point line which is their supposed weakness. All it takes is one bad shooting night and even Almighty Duke can be sent home in the tourney though.
