    Dook's D is definitely one of the best in the country right now. If they get hot from 3, I'm not sure Wake can keep up. Don't sleep on Wake's D, though. They held UNC to 35'ish % shooting. If it weren't for offensive boards, the Tar Heels would have lost by a lot more. If Teague gets hot, though - watch out.

    I wasn't directing that at you, Python actually. Like i said, last year Duke's biggest weakness was a guard that could get to the lane. see Pitt, WVA, UMD and FSU.

    This year they have been better at stopping that penetration.....I hope Duke wins, but I do not think it will be a cake walk. Duke's strengths are superior to Wake's...but they all have to be in order.

    the Main think is, Duke is more experienced, and playing at LJVM will help Wake, but not as much as if Duke were a young team IMO.

    UNC still scored 89pts

    % shooting isnt as important as actual shots and turnovers.....WFU gives on average (just from looking) 70pts per game in its "big games"......the most Duke has given up all year was 81 to Mich (L).

    Wake will out score Duke to win, Duke will keep Wake from scoring if they win.

    and yes that is obvious...but I know UNCBendmeOverEasy will jump all over that.....most people that understand BBall will realize it is a little deeper than that.

    WF has more athleticism than just about everybody, and Duke has less, aside from Henderson. Teague and that guy who's name I can spell are going to destroy them.

    That jam by Henderson reminded me alot of Stackhouse in 95.With Mcfarland playing the role of Eric Meek

    Great game and last play scripted up by Wake. Number 2 for Duke didn't roll over and contest the shot very well. Like Wakes coach said, every game is a game 7

    I can't believe Duke was even in the game at the end.I thought it was over on the last Wake spurt.Wake is tough,but they gotta come to Cameron.
