No Worries in Duke

How worried should Duke be? zero. How many away games are there in the March Madness tournament? zero. If you want to know the real identity of a college team, forget the away games, only look at how they play at home and on neutral ground, because that is what the tournament is. Talking with my friend Joey last night, he told me to watch out for Virginia, that they will win, and through my head I thought he must have been on something (Which he was not). But then I put on the T.V, and my jaw dropped, half because I despise the University of Virginia, half because he was right, and half because it was another upset, was that three halves? whoops. College hoops has no clear cut favorite and it is insane, but this is what makes sports great to watch and follow. March will be anybodies month, whether it be Miami, Duke, or Coastal Carolina, are they even making the tournament? To me, my favorite is still Indiana, Zeller and Olandipo are a great combo, and Christian Watford, has the most smooth shot in the nation, if he is on from behind the arc you are in for a nightmare. I am still hesitant on my bracket, and I am not sure who to pick, my gut says the Hoosiers, my brain says do not even fill out a bracket.

What I get out of last night is Joe Harris had a career night, he was rebounding, driving, and shooting like an All-American, but he does not play like that consistent enough to say that Virginia has a shot. Duke made it close at the end but UVA pulled away, this is the fourth time this year the court has been stormed on Duke, and it's eating away at Coach K, it's the wild world of college hoops, enjoy it.
