I have the Gators beating the Dookies. If true I win our office pool. If we beat the Cougs someone else does. Go Dookies! Plus I want to avenge 1994 when they beat us in the Final 4 in Charlotte.
I love this attitude and respect for history. But, we got revenge for 1994 in 2000 when we beat #1 overall seed Duke in the Sweet 16.
Duke is too tall, I don't think we match up our guards will not be able to shoot over them, it's going to depend on whether our bigs can play well, Chiny no fouls and Condon has to be offensive.
Duke going to beat Houston by 20. Their D is as good as their O. We are going to have to play out of our minds to beat them.
Houston isn't anywhere near as good, but is probably the worse matchup. Their pace is brutal. Duke is still fairly slow, and obviously much longer and more talented. It's gonna be a tough game regardless, but couldn't be otherwise in a season like this.
if I were Golden, pre game I’d ask the team in the locker room, “stand up if Duke offered you, now stand up if they even called you to inquire about coming for a visit. Nobody? And yet here you are, now go out there and offer them an a** whooping! “
I feel like both teams are bad matchups for us, but we can beat anyone and both these teams can be beat. That said. I'd prefer Houston.
