Vt or ND

Either one. If we are supposed to be in tourney shape we beat either team. I know the reasons to fear each, but again we should start being the alpha male of college basketball
VT. Seems like bonzie has averaged 24/14 on us for the last 18 years.
Doesn't mater to me. If we can't beat either one of them, we were going home anyway. That's not meant disrespectful, just think we shouldn't be concerned about anyone but Va and unc
Yeah, I hate to pick a team...and that team beats us. That said, I do hope we get another shot at Virginia (still same thing)...even though sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for.

It would be awesome if Pitt upset ND and then VT and Duke got to play Pitt
Playing a team that’s already got a game under their belt is scary. I’d rather play Tech casue that loss is still fresh in out boy’s minds. They know they let that one slip away
I didn’t know where else to post this but can someone please explain to me why for the last several weeks Arizona has been firmly on the 4 seed West line? Are they the only team not allowed to travel?
I think if we play our game it really doesn't matter. If the same Bagley and Duvall show up as in the 2nd half of the cheat game, neither one would have a chance!!!

We will DESTROY VT, I really feel that.
ND I don't want any part of. Also ND would be playing us for a NCAA tourney bid, no thank you.

Doesn't matter to me. We are auditioning for a one seed. Either one are solid teams but it's that time for us to impose our will on everyone else.
I think we play ourselves into a one in Midwest.

If I didn't know any better, reading this thread you would think Notre Dame is better than us. Are y'all crazy? I keep seeing how they would eat our zone up and rebound on us. I'm just not understanding this thinking. Colson used to eat us up on pick-an-pop. Won't be too much of that against a zone. Also, we do have one of the best rebounding teams in the country. I have one question though...what army are they going to bring with them to stop us in the paint? Colson is not going to be able to cut it against Bagley. That's just not happening. We're literally better than them at every position on the floor. Only way they win is if we come out sluggish. Hell we would lose to almost any team if we play like that. We will beat both by about the same amount of points
And that's what I was thinking to myself. It seems the worst one seed will be playing in the West. So I'm thinking: do I want Duke as the No.4 one seed in the West or the No. 1 two seed in the East? I'm leaning towards that two seed. I think Xavier has the one seed in the Midwest on lock. With KU losing badly to OSU, if they lose early in the Big 12 tournament and Duke wins the ACC tournament, Duke will probably be the 1 seed in the West.
Pretty sure his bracket is updated as of 03/03/17 in the morning before the games started, meaning we should see a change in the next couple days, or at least it better be like that........
It does seem like Bonzie has been around for longer than 4 years...feel bad he got hurt this year but glad he's getting a chance to finish out the season... if we play ND Bonzie is coming for us...
I don’t really care who we play. We should beat them, regardless.
This ain't 2016. Bring on Notre Dame. Wake up the echoes and Bagley will dunk them back to the NIT.
After seeing Bonzi the last 2 games, and given the fact they’re playing for their NCAA lives I expect a typical Nd run in the acc tournament. Wish we didn’t have to face them so early on....Tough draw, but we’re up for it!
Honestly, I want another piece of UNC. I think we would take them down again. Twice in one week is about the best thing you can ask for as a Duke fan.
It's not that I don't want another piece of unc it's that I want them to lose the next two games they play in. In fact I don't want to see them ever win again in any sport and that includes fencing. OFC
I dont want any part of Notre Dame. Bonzi Colson destroys us everytime he plays us and Brey always coaches a great game. Not saying we couldnt win. We beat them last year in the tourney. I would just rather play Va Tech. If ND makes it to the semi's then they are going to be the darling of the tourny and everyone is going to be pulling for them. And they are going to be playing for their NCAA tournament lives as well

I don't understand why everyone is so worked up over ND. Yeah, Colson is great, but they would be playing their 3rd game in 3 days, plus he's playing on a healed foot. Who do they have that can guard Bagley, Carter, Allen, Trent, Duval and Bolden, without foul trouble?
Duke has a star studded lineup, and we've played 31 games, enough that this team should be primed for the stretch run. That's why K recruited them, and it's time for it to pay off.
They op asked who would you rather play. I said Va Tech. I'm not scared of ND by any means. But with Colson and Ferrell they are WAY better than a 10 seed. Youre right Colson could get tired but he may not. Duke played 3 games in a row last year and looked pretty darn good in the 3rd game. And Duke's star studded lineup has lost some games to teams not near as talented as ND.
Again i dont care who we play and if we get get ND i would go into that game expecting to win but if i had to pick i would rather play Va Tech.
3 games in 3 days is not a big deal for these kids (maybe it is for Colson because of his injury). You notice that a lot of upsets happen in these tournaments specifically because the lower ranked teams have already played a game or two and are looser and more in rhythm.
I wanna beat ND , UNCHEAT and UVA. That’s a one seed.
