No, I don't mean this:

- We're 20-0 but have we played a game that would beat Duke they way they are playing now?
- The Blue Devils looked like their fifith national championship team vs. Pittsburgh. I remember after won the title in 2003 CTO asked posters when they first thought that team could win a national title. I picked the Georgia Tech game when we went on a 54-13 run against a good team with Chris Bosh. I can't say that we've had a moment like that this year. We keep winning, but...
- Our strengths are that we play great defense, we have our best rebounding team in years and we take care of the ball. But Duke's line-up seems designed to bust a zone: multiple outside shooters and guys, (Parker and Hood), who can operate inside an expanded zone.
- The one team that beat us badly on the boards was Pitt, (24-35). We all thought they'd do the same to Duke but the Blue Devils deviled the Panthers, 37-32.
- Tyler Ennis doesn't turn the ball over but he hasn't faced as aggressive a defense as Duke will throw at him. And he will have to go 40 minutes in this one, (after twisting that ankle). If we have Cooney or Gbinije handling the ball against the Duke pressure for minutes rather than seconds, we are toast.
- Our strategy will be to take it to the hoop and score or get fouled. How will the game be called? Will they allow this:
- And if they do, will our lack of depth kill us? Will he wind up with some kind of make-shift line-up of guys playing out of position, My Three Sons vs. Duke and walk-ons trying to hold it together in a winnable game?
- We see a lot of teams hit some three pointers early against us but they always start missing and the games turn our way. Duke might not start missing.
- Meanwhile, we've got one really good outside shooter. Surely Coach K will make sure his defense takes Cooney out of the picture.
- And it goes (almost) without saying that the dry periods and empty trips we have have been experiencing will enable the Blue Devils to slit our throats.
_the pressure is on home team in the first of a home and home series between top teams. We don't want to lose here and go down to Cameron with the Devils going for the sweep. Will the specter of that cause our guys to tighten up down the stretch?
- JB vs. Coach K. We usually have a advantage in experience and knowledge of the game. But I think we all know the pecking order here.
Bring it on!
