[MU B2002]

Will make beating them in 16 days even sweeter.

Ha. Well one can only wish.

I'll be honest if we keep that game under a 20 point difference I'll be happy

The way Buzz prepares, I wouldn't be surprised to see us win, but either way I fully expect us to be in it until the end. Duke may well win, but I doubt it will be by double-digits.

Our quickness and athleticism will make for some match up problems for dook....their size on the baseline will be our nemesis.

We'll be the biggest test dook has until they get into ACC play.

Think you aren't giving our guys/coaching staff enough credit...I'd be shocked if Duke won by more than 8-10 points.  Actually think we can beat Duke..and will be putting $$ on MU and the points.

Not if they beat us. Will most likely play Kansas State then.

I agree, but Id open it up a little more. The final score of games, especially with fouling at the end, can really skew the perception of the closeness of the game, so I can see it getting a little higher than 10, possibly 14 or 16.  But I expect to be within 6-12 pts most of the game.
