It would be embarrassing to lose

to a team full of tall slow geeky public school white kids. I'm sure you could relate, the slow, geeky and white part, during your "supposed" hard court days in Manhattan Beach. Make sure you tell your Duke boys after they lose not to pull an Andrew Harrison after the game. I do expect more from an institution that charges north of $63K tuition, room and board.  

I've noticed your trash talking skills have diminished with age. YOU KEEP REPEATING THE SAME STUFF. Just in case you're blind or hard of hearing.

for taking down Kentucky last night. I don’t think Duke could have beaten a team taller than every NBA team but one. But here are 5 reasons Duke will  beat Wisconsin tomorrow night  
   
 1. Duke has already beat Wisconsin AT WISCONSIN by ten.  
   
 2. Forget the clichés that these are now “two different teams” which every sports writer will feel compelled to utter. Nope, they are the same teams, except Duke is minus one five star player. But the level of improvement from November to March has got to be greater for a freshman laden team than it is for a senior team. Justice Winslow in particular has gone from an unknown to a top five pick in the draft.  Advantage Duke.  
   
 3. Guard play. I thought Wisconsin did not have a chance against Kentucky bc its guards were decidedly inferior.  That problem will be magnified against Duke. If Okafor can at least equal the production of two members of the Badger's superior front line, they are in trouble.  
   
 4. Trayvon Jackson, the one guy Duke could not stop last November, is shell of his former self due to his injury.  
   
 5. Finally Duke just should win – it’s natural order of things. LOL. Hey there is even a Dukie calling the game.  
   
 Is the guy who said Duke would lose to San Diego State the same guy I hear sobbing in the Beverly Hills Men’s Hair Salon?  
   
 This is our year 1Rob.  
   
 Duke 78-Wisconsin 70.

After the first 8 minutes of their game last night, it was Duke all the way! They played an almost flawless game after that!!!

... the only thing that worries me is that Sam Dekker is now SAM 'FUCKING' DEKKER.  This guys may just be the next John Havlicek.  But with that said, Duke should.  I think they would have beaten Kentucky too.  Kentucky can beat up on the West Virginia's of the world, but Buffalo almost beat them (well, sort of).  They played very little real competition all year, and were ripe for the picking.   Guess we'll find out soon enough, but I'm with you.

I think the UK loss falls on Calipari. There were several camera shots of him where he clearly didn't know what to do to solve Wisconsin's defense. But, if I'm not mistaken, Kentucky kicked the crap out of 6 non-conference teams that made the Tournament including Kansas, North Carolina and UCLA.

No, you are correct. But the SEC was dreadful and they almost lost to Mississippi, Texas A&M, and LSU.  And the games against Buffalo and Columbia were a lot closer than they should have been.  Not saying they weren't a great team; they were.  But they were not really tested by an elite team.  I don't think anyone would confuse this year's version of Kansas, UCLA, Louisville, or NC for their past incarnations.  

Still you're right, Calipari did his best Lefty Drissell imitation. But this team could have lost a couple of games against the SEC teams they played.  I'm just saying they weren't a team for the ages. They were beatable, that's all.  And Wisconsin took care of that.  Now i everyone was staying for 4 years they would definitely be a team for the ages

this is the finals match-up for which I hoping.

Your first two reasons were so ludicrous I quit reading and gonged the rest of your analysis.  
 
   Did you fail to notice Wisconsin won against Kentucky with the refs against them ?

   You feel "the level of improvement from November to March has got to be greater for a freshman laden team than it is for a senior team" ????

    I don't believe College seniors lose their improvement skills until  they are over thirty or fifty when the mind is a game.  

  I have a strong feeling  Wisconsin seniors will steam roll Duke freshmen.  
 
   Of course my strong feeling is a factor of  my hunch, Duke's Cook won't be Cooking Monday night.

  On the other side of the coin, if Wisconsin can't keep  Cook on simmer for most of the game, it will be a cold night for Wisconsin.  

   This one is likely to go into overtime, fun for me, extremely nerve wracking for you, when Duke was winning before the end of regulation and tie before they lose in the end.  
  That's my dream..   :-D

I have already placed a wager to lighten the pockets of my bookie on my beloved Devils-I think Cook and T Jones are way too good and way too quick for the Badgers-Kaminsky will get his and Dekker is a good one, but the Dookies are the better team talent and speed wise-Did I hear my favorite Duke hater Quad howling at the moon?   lol
Looking forward to Monday night-1rob....let's keep Okafer OFF the foul line...out    8-)
