Anyone think the weak ACC will hurt Duke in tourney time?

[BigJay]

ACC fourth or fifth conference at best this year

Very little competition for Duke

SEC a monster
Big 10 very powerful

Even Big 12 and Big East solid

Everyone seems to love Duke right now but will they be in trouble once they potentially run into some real competition later in the NCAAs?

No

I think Duke has got the players to #1 seed and deserve it. They can hang with anyone.

Like you've mentioned they will not have faced too many elite schools. Their biggest competion in their last 8 weeks of the season are Clemson, Louisville, and Illinois. None of those teams are elite (sorry Fly). That could hinder them when they hit Elite 8 and higher but as I mentioned, they can hang with the big boy schools (Auburn, Houston, Fla, Tenn, Bama, etc....).

It was weak relative to the other powerhouses this year...
It was about the 50th toughest schedule so far.

The only ones in the top 10 that were weaker are Texas Tech and St. John's which are around 60th.

Yeah lol

They beat Auburn and have basically annihilated everyone else in their schedule

Oh and have 3 lottery picks starting for them

Have a bunch of futures but will never hedge with Duke. +355 to win it all right now only a square would take that. All white team with a white coaching staff. Good luck getting any calls with 5 minutes left in a tie game.

It doesn’t matter how many NBA players you have on the roster it doesn’t equate to a national championship in this day and age

They're the favorites to win tourney @+450

Duke can win the tournament if healthy. They are an unstoppable force
