The MSU-Duke game was played at a very high level, and Ohio State, Illinois and North Carolina are all good teams (though UNC will take some time to develop). Otherwise there's a lot of bad basketball that will be played in these conferences this season IMO.

Or Sparty could have not been losing and forced to foul at the end... 14 FT attempts for Duke, 0 for MSU in the final 2 minutes...

When MSU drove, they turned it over a lot... They shot a lot of 3's and jumpers late to try and get back too, which cuts down on the chances of getting fouls...

I saw a different game obviously. Just like our game where players from Florida State were smacking the backboard when the ball was in the cylinder and they were braking the rim away/grabbing the net...They should have been called for that 4-5 times giving us a 24+ point win...

Its ok that Douche won because they have some serious holes down low. It will cost them in the tourney this year because they are not gonna play at home nor are they gonna get +24 free throw attempts...

I see 10 teams that are good to great and IMO OSU has a serious shot at the title. Our defense is underrated.

I know you guys have a set formula (if Duke wins a big game it = unfair calls from refs), and far be it from me to try and make you change it, but maybe, just maybe, Duke's a damn good basketball team? Maybe?

Hey you quit getting in the way of a good I hate Duke rant. We don't need no stinking facts. :p

Not that I expect a reasonable statement out of someone referring to the team as "Douche", but I think you are seeing what you want to see when you look at Duke. The call thing is over-played. They are extremely solid all the way around. They shoot it well, get points off the bench, pressure the ball on D, have guys that can drive to the hoop, and have enough rebounding to keep them in games. Mason Plumlee is coming on strong and he's very athletic. If the other Plumlee can learn to play without fouls, he can add even more in the post... They'll be tough no matter where they play and who they play. If it didn't say "Duke" on their chests, I think you'd agree.

I agree OSU is very good... One major thing I worry about with OSU is PG play on both ends... Craft is going to be a good one, but what will he do against the Lucases, Irvings, and Walkers come tourney time? Also, Thomas can score, but can he defend active athletic players? That will be a question mark too... The streakyness of the shooting could be troublesome as well...

Did you watch the Duke vs. Kansas St. game? Do you think KSU is a good to great team? Just curious, as KSU is regarded as having the deepest front-court in the country and the game was at a far from neutral Kansas City site... Duke held their own pretty well in that one.

Well I can say with a straight face Douche (the greatest team ever assembled) is vulnerable. I hope Douche gets knocked out of the tourny early. Tired of Dicky V having Coach K's nuts in his mouth...but then again...its douche.

KSU has average guard play...one dimensional team IMO...definately not well rounded like Douche.

Jacob Pullen average??

I don't think anyone is invincible in College Basketball... Duke will lose a game, I have no doubts. But they will be an extremely tough out come tourney time.
