Seeing the last 5 games of each team, I think I have a good feel of what this game will be like (HELLAH10 is the MAC champ though!!)...

I canagree with the Big Man issue but the DUKE D is something CMICH has not seen this year... in your face, challenge every shot style....CMICH lives and dies by the 3....I could easily see them going 4-24 or something from the arch...and DUKE just running them, big man or not...but obviously CMU has the momentum on their side, this is NOT the same Duke that we have come to know.
Kaman will give this team fits if hestays out of foul trouble. Duke
has struggled with many average teams this year, especially away from home. I'll take the generous 10.
Come smoke some :weed: with me in the DOGG pound!!!
BIATCH!
