Yeah I don't mind Duke all that much but I enjoy seeing upsets especially number 1. I actually like Coach K a lot but I can't stand Kyle Singler. Plus, with the exception of last year, I always pick Duke to go deep in the tournament and it never seems to pan out.
duke is a very solid team this yr. nolan smith and kyle singler r dukes best players. virginia tech has two good players including malcolm delaneany a great scorer. but vt came up big against duke and knocked them out for number 1 seed but i dont think kansas is better than duke so i think duke will be number 1 seed at the end of the season. nolan smith averages over 21ppg and dukes d is always tight. so expect to see duke deep in ncaa tourny prolly final four or at worst elite 8.
I watched VTech handle Duke - it's easy for teams to get pumped up for games against Duke and UNC. Dick Vitale said the Hokies are in now, but it just ain't true yet. Problem is, I watched Boston College destroy VT last night, and that was in Blacksburg on SENIOR NIGHT. Much of the momentum from the Duke game is lost now. This is a conference loss, and its clear that they'll have to maintain their spot in the ACC standings to make it to the tournament - or make a run in the ACC tourney. To be honest, I get tired of hearing how teams are 'in' when there are a bunch of games left to be played.

That's great - now it's not even the players' and coaches' fault.
