Duke is either going to go to the Final Four or flame out in the first two rounds.

I'd love it. We played them years ago in Chapel Hill after beating Notre Dame in opening round. That turned out to be a Final Four year for Duke and I think they beat us by 15. I'd like our chances more this year.

I want the biggest name opponents possible. They won't play us in the regular season, so this is our shot.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm not scared of anybody. The bigger, the better. If you're going to be the best, we gotta beat the best. I'd rather it be Kansas, Duke, Gonzaga than Baylor. Baylor makes it a regional thing. The other schools, national.

BTW, eff UCLA.....

For my own reasons known to most, I prefer not to face Duke early. But Duke in Greenville would be better than many of the non-private blue bloods near their home territory. In my experience from attending tourneys in Greensboro & Charlotte, anyone not actually a Duke alum/fan is rooting hard against them, and locals would love to see Duke lose so crowd would be loudly on our side.

We can beat Duke.

Although I dream the future at times...and I dreamt that we played KU round 2. I hope I am wrong.

With our luck we'd beat Duke, but Grayson Allen would trip someone at the end of the game and get punched by Sterling, getting Sterling suspended and killing our chances in the next round.


Sterling would become a national hero though

We need that german kid to punch grayson. We would lose him to suspension but he would get unlimited hot ace on the smu campus.

Id take that trade to see Sterling clock Grayson and still make the sweet 16. As long as Sterlings career wasnt hurt

This morning Lunardi still has us as the 5 in Greenville against a First Four winner which is now Wake/Illinois State.

Still would face Duke in round two and then Gonzaga/VT/Northwestern in round three.
