Duke vs Belmont Preview
Posted On: March 19, 2008 By: Cliff Comments: (more)
Well it is that time of year baby! March Madness is alive and I’m reading to sit in front of my tv for the next four days in a row to kick things off! The wife is really going to love that lol!
Anyways, the #2 seeded Duke Blue Devils will face off against #15 Belmont in Washington D.C. on Thursday evening. Duke hasn’t played their best ball the past 2 weeks of the season, and need to get off to a quick start against Belmont. When you are playing a big underdog like Belmont, you have to hit them with the hammer early, and nail in the coffin early in the second half!
For Duke to win, they are going to have to slow down the Belmont offense. They cannot allow them to jack up 35-40 three pointers because that is what they try to do every game. Belmont will score their points, the Blue Devils just need to limit them to two pointers and not three pointers. Duke will also need to stay out of foul trouble early in the ballgame, unlike the past three games.
I look for the Blue Devils to get the ball inside to Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas early in the ballgame. They need to get the ball inside, to open up some three point shots for the shooters. I think Lance or Brian will score 10+ points tonight, it just depends who gets off to the hot start.
My prediction is Duke 92, Belmont 77. GO Devils!
If you want to bet on the Tournament, Bodog is the place to do that!

Good comments. Off re: the result. You guys are just lucky that the other coach didn’t know not to call two timouts when his team had you down and was on a roll (I don’t mean the third one after the missed free throw, which was the only thing to do). But for that, you would be OUT. And you know it.
