VCU looked awful happy

Carefule Duke you are the recipe for upset. First you need a hungry talented team that looks like they never get a chance, and to this you add a team with a spotless reputation (elbows aside) but lacks inside depth and presence on the glass and you get the chnace of a nasty upset.

The look on the faces of the VCU players when they announced them to play Duke was pure delight. They looked like they were finally getting that chance to play after a long time on the bench in a small conference with little glory. if I was Duke I would be very wary of any team with that look in their eyes.

If McRoberts picks up a few early fouls and has to sit I see VCU coming to the end of this game in a close race, and this is what every underdog wants….a chance to put up a final shot with Duke on the other side.

If Duke can get past this first game against a team that didnt look too impressed by their history I expect them to make the round of 8 before meetinga very good kansas squad, I just havnt decided if they will make it out of the first game.

This game is still blank on my official Charlottecritic.com CBS sportline bracket pick ‘em, I hate to have no faith in a local institution like Duke, but I saw that look in VCU’s eyes.
