Title: So who is Your pre-NCAA Tournament favorite to win it all?
Post by: WoodstockVol on March 17, 2013, 10:19:53 EDT
My favorite right now is Indiana(I think Miami could give them a go,however). What are your opinions?

Rooting for Indy (unless UT can make a miracle run), but my pick would be Duke. :hurl:

Duke will have problems with a good, talented athletic team

There aren't many of those out there this year- at least not those with the court-smarts and discipline it takes to go that far.  I just think that if every team plays their best, Duke's A game is better than anyone's.  But of course teams don't always play their best.  It's really a crapshoot this year.  This could be the year for a mid-major to come out of nowhere and win it all.

Duke has had a problem finding big men to fight it out on the inside(They haven't had a topshelf center in a long time). They are strictly a stop and pop team

Huh?  Plumlee and Kelly are bruisers.  In fact, they've been one of the most physical teams in the nation ever since Reddick left. :confused:

They're pretty good but I've never considered Duke an overly physical team. You can't overlook Duke come Tournament time

I don't consider Duke a favorite considering some of the beats they took this year.  But maybe that was earlier in the season.
