gander it all depends on how the freshman guards play. IF they can bump it up a notch they can run with any team in the country. Duke has been overhyped all year. Scheyer has the best game of his life and its not enough. I'm not biased here as i'm a big ten fan, but duke is a shadow of what it was last year. I think though next year they will be better.

There is no way that Duke this year is on par with NC and for NC it will all come down to there ability to handle the ball under pressure with freshmen guard who happens to be very good and has played high level b-ball forever but you can never tell if the stage will ever get too big for him, and one other thing if for any reason Durant and Oden come out this year which is a very good possibility whoever takes Durant before Oden should have there head examined its not even close Durant does possess very good skills but he is not a center and he is not going to make any NBA team an instant success but Oden on the other hand can help a team like Boston make it to the playoffs and win a title in a few years. I can see some NBA team tanking it in the last few weeks just to have more ping pong balls in the hopper praying Oden leaves early. If someone were to take Durant in my opinion before Oden it would almost be like Sam Bowie being picked before MJ one of the worse draft day mistakes in history.

Neither team will be in the Final 4. Mark it down now, the ACC's glory days are over!

Duke is very overrated, shouldn't be ranked...

TB,

You shouldn't make fun of UC, a very bad UC team beat your soft, miserable XU that will go to the NIT, they stink, they are an embarrassment. The Big East is rebuilding this year, lots of guys went pro last year, and I knew UC wouldn't be good for another 3 years, they haven't had a recruiting class in 2 years. They have a new good coach, seriously upgraded facilities, the Mighty Bearcats will be back to where they should be, but even a very bad UC team, beat Xavier, now that's funny...

A nice way of saying they are a terrible conference but once again will get more teams than deserved into the Big Dance.

Xavier wouldn't make the Tournament in the Big East and that's no joke...

Xavier has never had a period when there was no recruiting for 2-3 years, this team is bad, I knew it was going to be bad for the next couple of years, I am a fan and still watch the games even though it pains me, you won't see me jumping ship like all of these whiney losers who can't get over the fact that Huggins isn't here anymore. I am glad he's gone, I think they will be better off for him leaving.

I'll tell you one thing though, they are really bad this year, but there is a college superstar on this team in Deonta Vaughn, he's one of the best freshman that UC has ever had, he'll be here for 4 years and by his senior year, they will be back and all of you will be talking about Deonta Vaughn. I have never seen such court awareness from a freshman, especially on a bad team.

Make no mistake, this should have been a good year for X, but they are soft and NIT bound...

The "Fraudulent-At-Homers" lose again, too bad they can't play every game Cameron in front of those classless punks, they might win more, maybe they can lobby the ACC to play all home games, like they do in the pre-conference part of their schedule...

TB...so many good players you never had the pleasure of seeing. Ask some older people about Bernard King...wow...that brotha had the softest shot I have ever seen.
