    They stay undefeated with the win at FSU. They still have the tougher part of their ACC sch. to go, but those teams have shown they can be beat. This Duke team plays good D and hustles after the ball. Can they get to a final 4?

    They can, but realisticly an elite 8 appearance would be overacheiving for this team.

    I would have said no final four a couple of weeks ago but they are starting get some secondary guys to step up. Who knows they could go to a final four. Shelden Williams is as solid as they come and Reddick and Ewing are as good as any guard combo in the country.

    They are a really good team, again it really depends on their depth and how these guys perform. Really all it takes is for Williams, Ewing or JJ to get hurt or foul trouble(not gonna happen with dook calls) and they will be in big trouble.

    Luckily for them Shav and Love being MIA didn't really hurt them since neither are anything major to their team. Actually it may have helped them to develop some of their bench.

    If the following group of guys can step up then they have a good chance, Dockery, Shav, Melchioni, Nelson, McClure, Love (if he gets back). So far they are looking like they will.

    their undefeated, and they beat F$U down, at F$U. To win on the road, and to be undefeated this far into the season, they're very good. Coack K is amazing.

    There's a chance but if they lose Sheldon Williams the chance is gone. He's probably as important to Dook as Fleton is to UNC. If not more.

    I agree there. Shelden Williams is the heart of this Duke team. They are a good team but they still have some question marks. Coach K is doing a masterful job this year.
