I know everybody wants to play Baylor due to the their dominant performances, especially last night

I have baylor in the final four in my bracket...

think this will be a great game, that Baylor wins, but can see it going either way

Duke is very deep and can get teams in foul trouble

in the tourney, what game do you think the coaching advantage goes to?

meaning the thurs/fri game where you have 4 days to prepare
or the sat/sun game where you have 1 day to prepare

You always hear "give coach so and so this long to prep for you and youre toast" But I think any coach, given that much time, can come up with a good gameplan - the better ones still do better of course

but the gap is less wide than the gap between what a good coach does in one day vs what a less experienced coach does in one day (wording not good here but hope you catch my drift)

there's a reason that Coach K is 10-1 in elite 8 games - he can come up with a master gameplan in one day - Drew is out of his league here and I'm taking Duke.

already moved in most places from 4.5 to 4, no doubt baylor will be the public dog

but I like the public play (percentage) when its early, usually thats smart money

hard to tell really, lol

You're way wrong here. Baylor is playing some wicked ball right now, and just like Syracuse vs Butler, Duke's about to find out that the Bears are for real.

Coach K never had to do what Drew has done, no way out of his league

this is a money game, for EVERYBODY on Baylor team including the Head Coach.
