Duke and West Virginia ready to face off in the Final 4

Posted On: March 31, 2010 By: Cliff Comments: (more)

Good morning Duke fans. It’s been about a week since I have updated the blog and I apologize for that. Hopefully we will have two more game recaps in the next week and be talking about the Duke Blue Devils as the 2010 NCAA Champions! Duke flew out to Indianapolis on Wednesday as they have to partake in media interviews and get a couple of practices in before they take on West Virginia on Saturday night. The matchup against West Virginia is very interesting and one that I think will come down to the last possession. Currently Duke is favored by -2.5 points and the over/under at 131 points.

I think if Duke can slow down Da`Sean Butler who is averaging 19 points a game they will have a great shot at pulling out the victory. My question is who will be guarding Butler? Nolan Smith or Kyle Singler? Either player will have to be able to contest Butler’s shot and do so without fouling. We all seen what happened when Kyle picked up two quick fouls in the Baylor game, it pretty much took out his rhythm for the entire game and he struggled. Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas will need to come up big on the boards and hopefully not be shooting the ball as much as they did in Houston (Yes, I’m talking about Lace).

In the end I think Duke escapes with a two point victory and will face Michigan State in the finals on Monday. I really like their chances in that game and bring home the NCAA Championship! Right now tickets are pretty expensive for the games as Butler is driving up the cost of tickets as they are basically playing in their hometown. I recommend you hold out and buy on Saturday but closer to game time and you should score a pretty good deal. I’ll be here at home watching on the tv, but I’ll be rooting for the Blue Devils just like all you!

Why is Duke so universally disliked by the vast majority of the solar system? Is it our arrogance, the bouncing puppet kiddies in the student section (looks like a muslim madrassa in a study session), “Rat Boy” our weasel coach, playing flop flop defense, whining at every call, our non-existent smile or all of the above.

- just curious
