Last night as I settled into bed after watching the season finale of Eastbound and Down, I was watching Dick Vitale talk about the Sweet Sixteen on ESPN. Although he didn’t go as far to say that his beloved ACC is overrated, he did have some choice words about the Big East. Vitale named Villanova as a team lower than a Top 2 seed that could win it all, and named ‘Nova-Duke his most intriguing matchup. Kudos Dickie.

Hey Chris, any chance you’ll be putting together a blogger exchange with someone from Duke for Thursday’s game. I haven’t read or seen a lot of ACC coverage this year so it’d be interesting to see what someone from down there has to say.
Also, I can’t wait for our fans to show up in force in Boston, this should be much more of an “away” game for Duke than it is for ‘Nova.
