CT/Duke

[bear]

Don't Miss It !!

Calhoun/Kryzewski

Before this weekend Duke would have been the chalk in this one......Now its CT by 1 to 2 (deservedly)
I've seen all of CT's games this year and have not seen them play to recent levels. Difference is Rashaad Anderson!!!! pushing Ben Gordon....as the go to guy in addition to Emeka.......When Denham Brown's confidence problems left him practically disabled about 7 or8 games ago...Anderson took over as a starter and all are really beginning to click at the right time. Anderson has ALWAYS been ready to take the BIG shot.......not so with BG....
BG is coming out again!!! and they both drain 3s at 40% +++

CT has too many weapons on offense........ and.......... on the boards.......... and on defense... The only problem is they jump out, play in spurts, let teams back in it and seem to get lazy and forget the fundamentals.... If they play like that against Duke they will lose their 7th game of the year...Stakes are too high now....CT will be focused!

If Emeka is healthy and the perimeter shooters don't hesitate, if D is consistent with recent games then CT goes to the finals!!

BEST team right now is CT!!

i would agree with you.uconn is the better team

yep..

yep..

Hell, G.Tech is better then Duke for all that matter.
-UConn beats Duke by @ least 5 possibly as much as 9.

My opinion/observations list the Final Four teams in the order/
(best-1st)
1.UConn
2.Georgia Tech *
3.Duke
4.Oklahoma St. (depth keeps them behind Duke)

*ONLY if Elder is 100%

UConn is #1 alone. Everyone else is playing for 2nd.

Wouldn't Uconn love a rematch with Georgia Tech!

Not sure if it is necesarily a factor, but UConn played at Alamodome last year. Not a real easy place to adjust to.

boils down to..

boils down to..

-IMO the UConn/Duke line was set @ Duke -1 due to the
all so important "free throw %"

-If UConn shot free throws like Duke the line would have
IMO started around UConn -2 (basically where it stands now)
and moved to somewhere around UConn -3.5 or -4.

-If UConn can shoot just above their average for the season
then they should cover nicely. If they go cold late, Duke could
steal both the money and the game outright.

I just personally cannot bet on Duke with the hopes of UConn
shooting poorly from the line.

X FACTOR = free throw shooting of UConn
