Which Team Stands the Best Chance of Beating Duke for the Natty?

Any of them. Zion gets fouled out or sits with trouble, Barrett has an off night and/or the other teams 2 guard goes off on a three clinic.
Are you really that arrogant to think Duke can't be beat?
I'll wait...
UK beats Duke in the title game, by 34. A 68-point turnaround from the game 1 to game 40. SmokinSmile
Can be beat? Yes if we have injuries or a top team. A 3-5 seed no we arent losing to them. Don’t let your two year run blind you to what real greatness looks like. And I like UT but I have never met a fan like you. If there are many it would change my entire outlook on the team
I gave you a scenario in which Duke could lose as you requested. Do you disagree, you think Duke could overcome that? Answer the friggin question, don't start blabbing about injuries. Btw, UT's relevance has nothing with my question.
Real greatness is undefeated National Champions. Real delusion is thinking something less than that is real greatness. Your foolishness is only exceeded by your arrogance.
Finally, if you disagree with my points, prove them wrong with counter points or agree to disagree, but don't come at me personally.
So we havent had a great team since 76? Right. And I want to hear who can beat us you’ve yet to name a team that’s a 3-5 seed
I gave you the scenario. You were the one that wrote two post requesting it. What is wrong with you? Are you just being willfully obtuse?
Do you think Duke could lose to a 3-5 under those circumstances or not? If not, explain why?
Either come back with an answer or don't come back at all.
Jeeeeeez
No I do not believe duke will lose to a 3-5 seed under any scenario outside of a major player getting injured and K not having time to adjust
Your turn who is it you think will do it? I wanna know.
Duke won't lose to a 3-5 seed. It's normally a 13/14 that beat them.
You haven't explained why you think Duke could win if Zion sat most of the first half with foul trouble and fouled out early in the second half along with Barrett have a cold night shooting and the opposing @ guard hitting 10 Threes. You haven't explained that at all.
Once we get Tre back and barring any other injuries to key players before then I believe we’ll win the rematch but I agree with you that it will most likely still be a close game.
Lol...
Pump the brakes man, this Duke team is really good but anything can happen in a one game scenario. Duke had 2 guys out against Cuse which sucked but that had nothing to do with Tyus Battle going nuts from the field. Shit happens, I've seen really good teams run into buzzsaws in the tournament that play out of their mind for one game.
Pump what brakes? I said without injury. A Nevada or team of that caliber isnt beating us without a catastrophic event
Ahh okay lol I’ll let ya win in that case sure if Zion is out a whole game and Barrett can’t hit water and some guard scores 30 plus on the beat defender in the country yes we can lose
This same scenario happened against TTU. Y'all trailed most of the game and if TTU had some one go off with the three clinic, y'all would have lost.
You appeared to think I was just out to bash Duke and that is the furthermost thing from the truth. Duke is my second favorite team and I have all the respect in the world for them. Duke is the most talented team in the country personal wise and I have never argued against that, but Duke is beatable. Anyone can have an off night and the other team can play over their heads.
Finally, you didn't let me win, you came to your senses.
If we play like we did against Nova, North Carolina, and Purdue we can beat anybody. If we play like we did against Wisconsin, we'll lose more than I'd like. Depends what Michigan team decides to show up offensively.
Road games are tough and at anytime a good team can be beat on the road.
