    http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=263250150I didn't think Duke was that good anyways. Dominic James had 25/7, he's going to a hell of a player at the next level. He's only a sophmore, and he's only 5'11-6'0, but if he can add some muscle, he could be a very good NBA prospect.

    I don't know much about college ball, but I think Duke will have a transition year. I dont expect them to win the ACC, or even be in the running for that matter. I dont think they'll get that far in the tournament also.Marquette is looking pretty good with Dominic James, Jerel McNeal, and Wesley Matthews. Their guard talent rivals Villanova of last year, and they are still all sophomores. If they all stay until their senior years, they could be serious contenders to win the torunament. I think they might turn some heads this year.

Duke is not going to be very good this season, they got a padded seeding because of last years success. I don't expect them to even be rated this season. Josh McRoberts is not the leader/dominator that Tyler Hansbrough is.

Mcroberts has not been given a chance to lead his team yet. Mcroberts as far as skill goes, has all the skills and moves that Hansborough has. He can rebound, has good moves down low, plays with alot of hustle that I see moving off onto everyone else, and I believe is a better passer than Hansborough is. Last year you didn't get to see enough of him because he had Redick and Williams on the floor. Had Hansborough stepped in there, he would have had the same role and done the same thing.

    Marquette looks like a very good team. Behind LSU, I think they have become my second favorite team. I love their passion for their game and how they are a scrappy team even though the players have talent. Duke couldn't find a rhythm in the second half. Marquette was stealing the ball like crazy. I think Duke is more of a #15 or 16. I think it is very likely that Marquette jumps into the top 5 by the end of the season. Dominic James is a beast.
