NC vs Duke - and Louisville

[Gander]

I like Duke very much tonight. Not a big fan of betting sports, especially games I have interest in watching. Kind of ruins it when you sweat out free throws at the end of the game, all for an even money bet.

I think both teams are very similar in ability and obviously the big edge goes to Duke in Cameron.

So far the 2 teams who played in last year's final seem to be separating themselves from the rest. Would not be shocked if we see a Florida - UCLA rematch in 7 weeks. They are both that good...again.

Both teams are even in ability. You have to have to be joking. The game was much closer then it should have been, but unc is leaps and bounds better then unc talent wise. Break down all 5 positions and decide on a neutral court who you want to run with. I come up with 4 unc players. They have a deeper bench, are more athletic, and are far less turnover prone.

I guess I was wrong and very glad I dont waste my time betting college basketball. I thought Duke looked very good in the first half, but they just cant close out games. NC bested them for sure but Duke surely blew their last 2 losses prior to this game with some really dumb last second decisions. They are better than their record indicates. NC is very good but I dont think they could touch the top 2 teams (Florida & UCLA). I think they get exposed in the NCAA tournament again, earlier than most people would predict.
