Besides that, I dont think Duke has a problem with "confidence". Why should they? They beat Maryland by over 20 at home and should they lose this game it would hardly shake their confidence and beating them again would hardly make them more confident.

Sure there is something at stake but i dont think this is that important.
You nailed it, Duke was set up for a loss and played better than I thought it would. The bottom line is you can still pencil the Dookies in for a Sweet 16 loss, except this time you can actually make some $$$ betting against them.
