    I can't believe what I just saw. Wow. Houston played monster D, monster rebounding, and had great three point shooting when they needed it. They finished like we did against TT. Going to be a battle on Monday night.

    I’m calling it now
    We’re blowing out Houston Monday (by 20 points)
    They’ve used all their emotional energy and will have a big letdown
    Ill eat crow if wrong

    Hope you like crow. Houston is a senior-laden team which I was wondering if that would work against Duke if the game was close and it did.

    Houston a 50/50 game, but Duke gets the calls, so that's why I wanted them out. Gators have a shot, but Condon needs to play much better & have to guard the 3 point line vs. Houston.

    If it wasn’t such a wild comeback and Houston still won then I’d say Monday would be close. I just sense a big letdown hence the prediction

    We had better work on inbounding the ball before Monday. Also, contest every 3 point shot of Houston.

    So hard to predict because that could go both ways, they beat Goliath in the Final Four and play loose in the title game. One thing is for sure, they will slow things down like UConn did.

    Do you not think we can play defense too? The problem with Duke is they didn't really play good defense. They just smothered teams with offense. Look at Duke's losses, they lost them because they were low scoring defensive games. We've won plenty of those and can play defense.

    And we've beaten some very good teams in their house with their home crowds. AU, Bama, Arky, etc. We're no slouch.
