50k on Duke, I think Singler can shut down Alexander, since he's almost as tall and just as quick.

Anybody else find Paulus extremely annoying to watch?

That kid gets away with so much crap on the basketball court. He is the most overrated Duke player in a LONG time.

Is it possible for these teams to tie so neither advances?

He is annoying, but not as bad as Bobby Hurley was.

I think Duke is going to run away with this one in the second half.

As someone who goes to grad school at Duke (don't worry, ALWAYS Iowa State first!!!), I don't think Paulus is overrated much at all. The reason being that I don't rate him very high in the first place. He was a highly touted recruit out of HS, and had it easy as a freshman dishing the ball to Redick and Shelden Williams. He's a good point guard, but he's not great. He's definitely overshadowed by others on the team now.....even though he still get a lot of press (mostly people complaining about him). His shooting has gotten better though.

I can't remember the last time Duke has worn the road jerseys in a tournament situation. I don't like Duke at all, but have to respect their ability to land a high seed year after darn year. I'll bet the equipment manager hates to have to wash those darn whites all the time...
