Of course they do, they just beat a great Maryland team. Yet the fact that they did just beat Maryland could really be a bad thing. State might be cocky, and come out like they have already proved something. On the other hand, Duke feels that they have had a few off games recently, and feels that they have something to prove to the "Duke doubters".

Having said that, do you think State has a chance? My vote is yes.

I think State could beat Duke, but they spent so much in yesterday's upset that I'm not sure they have enough left (emotionally or physically) to do it again today. Maybe if they had played Duke yesterday, they could have done it. But, beating Maryland and Duke two days in a row would be a tough task for any team.

I agree -- Maryland was playing sloppy yesterday. They were playing in spurts, and it was obvious that they didn't show up with their A game. Duke won't make that same mistake.
