Honestly the game would have me on edge. IU would worry me slightly just because their ability to go lights out from 3 at any time.

How would we ever stop Jahlil though? He would go for 40 and 25 easily. And then if we double team him, he'll kick it out to the shooters. I would hate that matchup from a defensive perspective. Of course Duke isn't the greatest defensive team ever, but I DO NOT want to face them. Ever.

Yeah that's the other side of it Jefferson, Okafor, and Plumlee would dominate inside. Even tho Duke would probably be a heavy favorite I still would like to stay away from Indiana just because of the shooting even if I want to see the matchup.

Especially when JBJ, and even Yogi a lot of the time, get very little respect. JBJ is constantly getting knocked down on his drives and hardly ever gets the call.

The refs call everything FOR Trimble. Sickening.
Maryland wins. Not happy or mad about it but Trimble gets way too much love from the refs. Don't get it.

Marshall Plumlee and the word "dominate" should not go in the same sentence hahah

I sometimes think Yogi's physical strength is held against him. He gets fouled a lot. You kind of have to foul him to keep him from blowing by you.

Yogi does draw a lot of hand-checks off the dribble, but does not get the same respect when he's at the rim IMO. I realize his height doesn't help, but there's a lot of times he gets body contact and knocked to the ground and doesn't get to the line.
