1% chance of it happening according to ESPN, 4% according to Ken Pom. Only two times have #1 been defeated by a sub-500 team at home, and that was in 1950/1955.

ND was actually up on UVA about midway thru the 2nd half but UVA has blown it wide open down the stretch.

25-0 run. They've done those types of runs a couple times in league play. When UVA flexes its muscle, look out
UVA plays some good D. Who beat them in the ACC?

Blew a final lead at Duke like 13 games ago. Now 14-1 in ACC

Why do you think they didn't do so great in OOC play but have done so well in ACC play?

They have ridiculous depth and hadn't found working rotations. Also true freshman PG London Perrantes broke out when ACC play started. Any NCAA opponent that looks at OOC scores and feels good is in for a rude awakening. Night and day difference

Noticed that with the UTenn one specifically.

That proved to be the major wake up call. They've been on fire since. A season is a season and it is what it is on the resume, but it's a clear case of 2013 and 2014 being night and day different
Duke does a great job with having the students lined all the way around the court. It's amazing how close the Cameron crazies are to press row. CVille or anyone else been there? I've heard that Cameron has very tight quarters all the way around.

Haven't been there, the announcers are above the court. When GameDay has been there in the past(not this time around), they have to broadcast from outside the building since the venue can't handle the set.
There are no other games. Cut the ****
Yup terrible call
Fouls are piling up for Syracuse's big men

Carolina refs (favoring Duke and UNC) are pretty notorious.[FONT=lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]
But the bad call we're referring to was against Duke...

Cuse's shooting has been terrible particularly down the stretch in the first half. SU made just 3 FG's over the last 12 minutes of the half. If Duke had hit some of their shots early on they'd have a decent lead right now.

There was a load of activity in the first half with not a lot of points to show for it... on both sides.
Yea neither team shot that well
Syracuse had 13 O boards in the first half, geez.

I'm just glancing in on this game, nevermind me. Cuse has picked up many more fouls, though. Approaching double at the moment.
Cuse is getting into serious foul trouble.
HUGE charge call on Fair and Boeheim loses his mind and gets 2 technicals after that call. I actually thought the call could've gone either way
I've been to Cameron at least five times for men's basketball games and had 'seats' on the benches with the crazies for two of them (my butt never touched the bench). They line students all along the half-dozen or so lowest rows on the side-line opposite the teams and scorers' table.
It helps when you have a legendary team like Duke (never mind the small size of the University -- Duke gets almost all of the Wal-Mart fans), with a 9000 seat arena, in a college hoops crazed area like the Triangle. It's probably fair to say that Duke's success breeds more student involvement as basketball crazed geeks choose Duke over Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech or other elite academic institutions of the South.

Duke has to have one the smallest percentages of fans who are alumni, like you said they get the "Wal Mart" population -- don't have a team or your team isn't good, root for Duke. I always like to joke you should never "root" for a team, when you've never stepped foot in their arena or stadium.
