Let's Go Duke

[Easy Mac]

Just for all the Terps fans... that was a fun game :)

And yes, Duke will lose at least 3 games in the regular season.

WOW ... did anybody know that JJ Redick could dunk? I'm speechless.

And yes, Duke will lose at least 3 games in the regular season.It's certainly possible, but I wouldn't bet the over at this point. I hope it's not a case of Coach K getting this team to peak two early, but they are a well-oiled machine right now. I don't think it's his best team at Duke, but it might be one of his best teams as compared to the competition. I'm still not convinced Carolina is ready for prime time with that young team, and some of the other early season success stories in the ACC have been exposed (see: Boston College). NC State is surprising me. I can see the UNC and NC State road games being tough, but I expect Duke to win its home schedule, and only maybe 3 or 4 toughies on the road in conference should challenge them.

It'd be nice to have Duke come to Raleigh to play, but not this year. Drawback of expansion is that it's killed the home-and-home among the Big 4 schools. Last year was the first time in 80-odd years that State and Duke only played once in a season, in Raleigh. This year, State is making a return trip to Durham next week, but that's it.

Looking at Duke's remaining sked:
Home dates: NC State, Virginia, FSU, Wake, Miami, UNC
Road dates: Clemson, VT, BC, UNC, Maryland, GT, FSU

They should be able to win all those home games with perhaps State and UNC giving the best effort. They'll be jacked for the return game at VT considering what happened the last two games, but who knows, VT may have a knack for playing with Duke. Besides that, UNC and Maryland are probably the best chances for a loss. Even so, they'll probably trip somewhere they shouldn't. It's happened to them over the past several years (FSU, VT, etc).

Dick Vitale was more annoying then usual

I find routing for Duke is redundant.
