Even before the Kentucky/Wisconsin game I felt like Duke was the best team in this tournament.. No one seems to be talking about them and I think on paper, they have the most talented lineup.. Maybe Wisconsin takes this tough..

But Duke cannot beat an NBA team so there's that.

I think they will win too. But this whole entire year was about if anybody could beat UK, so for better or worse, even if Wisconsin loses, they won't be losers.

Duke did beat Wisconsin in Madison in December.

It is all about matchups. We will see if monday how they matchup the 2nd time around.

We're better than Duke, but Duke matches up real well against us. As far as I am concerned, it's a coin flip. I'd like to hope the sports gods aren't cruel enough to let Duke win after we beat two teams better than them, but we'll find out on Monday.

Or the fact that Duke has won the natty a lot so they would let another team win.

Wisconsin is better than the team Duke beat in December. Duke is a whole lot better than the team that beat Wisconsin on their home floor earlier in the year. Duke would have been a nightmare matchup for Kentucky. They will give Wisconsin all they want and then some Monday night.

Do you think this phases me after the amount of times people laughed at me for saying we could beat Kentucky?

We have half as many losses as Duke playing a tougher schedule, discounting the game Frank didn't play. It's pretty tough to argue, at this point, that they are better than us. Arizona and Kentucky are better as well, but I'll let their fans fight this battle.

We will see if Duke can shoot 64% again. My hunch tells me they can't.

I have a feeling Duke won't have to shoot 64% again. It's on a neutral floor this time so there's that.

Im quoting Smart.

Hey man, Im ecstatic about Wisky beating KY and coach dickhead.. But you you shouldn't under estimate Duke. I think Duke could have beat KY, but Wisky punched KY's going home ticket

If you can't clearly see that Duke is a much improved team from the team's first meeting you're truly an idiot.

Making reference to the first game at this point is stupid. Both teams are obviously improved.

Duke doesn't even used that starting lineup anymore

The way smart is talking you would think Wisconsin is going to walk all over Duke.

Duke is so underrated this year. Everyone been counting them out since the brackets came out.
