Haha SC plays in the weakest conference and don't score (although they sure did last night)

Scared about tomorrow. Our acc brothers have been terrible and have made us look super weak.

But we tore up Florida too

Beginning of the year. Means absolutely nothing. Everyone struggles to score against Virginia and Florida had no problems. FSU Miami all teams we struggle to play and they all got creamed

We beat Florida without some of of horses also...we can take Florida..

Won't be easy but we can take them...

We can beat every team in our path to the Final Four...we play like we did in the ACC Tourney....I don't expect any to be easy but it is there for us, just have to bring it!

And to those doubting SC; they are 3rd best in defense (kenpom). This team will absolutely cause Duke problems in the paint, especially if K leaves Amile out there fending for himself. This will be an absolute battle. Unlike the Holes, Duke has a tough path forward.

Yep, ACC was overrated IMO. Does that mean they were bad? No way, but clearly the best? Debatable now.

Best conference by far this year period...never judge by what happens in tournament...all about March ups in tourney....anything can happen

One game at a time....stay focused and do our thing. Then regroup, get healthy and turn our attention to whoever is next. We got this!!

It isn’t just top to bottom; some of the ‘top’ teams were being manhandled by mediocre to ‘top’ teams in other conferences. FSU just got stomped by an average Big East team. UVA was embarrassed by an SEC team, and here some are talking like Duke will crush a different SEC team. Time to buckle up.

Proves my point...you are judging off one game scenarios in the tournament..IMO you can't do that to judge best conference but just my opinion of course

Just a small sample. These games are showing that perhaps the entire ACC schedule/stacking isn't as strong as once thought.

Whatever....worry about the Boston college game next year if you want

Don't get upset geez dude go ahead and fret over SC but if we ain't good enough to beat them (who is the weakest team left) we certainly don't deserve to go to the sweet 16

I'm with you on this Pisgah! If we are this concerned over South Carolina, then we shouldn't be entertaining the thought of a final four. We will be fine. Duke will win! Lol
