WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Duke

Just kiding, buddy...Gl on your plays!

[Tnbreakers]

This one scares the shit out of me. It's like a putt on a ridge, too far to left or too far to the right spells oh fuck!

It should be a great game...I am a homer, but I think Duke guards are going to have a hell of a time covering Nova. The Cats have great spacing on offense and can take advantage of their quickness. We shall see!

[ChitownZ]

It will be fun to watch...GO NOVA !

[Tnbreakers]

Duke struggles against very long and athletic teams. Floor spacing and good shooting will make up for lack of many things! Will be a good one!

[BigWeiner]

I like Nova

[kbsooner21]

Nova HUGE!!!

[Chado1]

This one and MSU/KU are the biggest toss ups to predict a winner of next weekend IMO...

Statistically I like Nova. My gut tells me Duke will find a way in the end, win, then get an ass whipping from Pitt. I've never played a teaser in basketball but Consider Nova +8 with Carolina -2 or Pitt -1. I have a hard time seeing Duke pull away by any wide margin. This one should be close all the way.

ACC started with 7 and are now down to 2.They will be down to 1 after this game.Nova for me!!!!!!

[jcindaville]

Nova in a route! I might just come unglued on this game, absolutely LOVE Nova.

[elevenblack301]

Nova should win this comfortably, and then I see them knocking off Pitt to reach the final four.... Or did I just dream that last night... We'll see.... GL ALL

Love it!!!!
