Super Bowl over- time for College Basketball!

I think this is the most important game for the Duke team this year hands down. If they can win at Maryland, with confidence, then I do believe they will carry that thru the NC game this weekend and thru the month of March.

I gotta believe this game sets the tone for the ACC and NCAA tourney for the Devils.

Really? I hate duke but what I don't see how its that important for them either way. Its senior night and if you have never been to comcast (or cole field house before it) it is as crazy a crowd as you will see. Im sure the voting committee would forgive a loss to the second place team in the conference in one of the toughest places to play in the country.

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.
