I agree..BUT..if they get by Minnesota I think Duke might be the best match up UT could get out of the top seeds. Just not impressed with Duke' guard play and their bench is not that deep.

dukes guard play is pretty impressive....much better than texas....but texas has to get passed a tubby smith team which is never easy...but on the other side i could see texas making a run at the elite eight if they catch fire

Duke has no inside game. If they can control Duke's 3pt shooting the may have a shot.

Texas should beat Minn. in the first round. I think they'll give Duke a good game, but I don't see them winning (unless they play like they're capable of playing.

Ya but if you say the same thing about Duke the score wouldn't even be close.

I believe that if Texas and Duke played, and they both played up to their potential, Duke would win. However, I think it would be a very close game (8-10 points). I don't think it would be a blow-out like you're suggesting.

Duke is a better b-ball program (duh), but they're not head and shoulders above most teams (this year) like they've been in past years.
