To get Duke ready for the kind of opponent they will play early in the NCAAs.

Because there are 9 teams in the ACC and they need practice while the other 8 are playing each other. And what Tasha said.

And just because Duke romped them don't automatically assume Valpo sucks. They aren't a great team by any means but something has to be said for being #1 in your conference.

That is BS. If you really need to practice playing teams who earn automatic bids why doesnt every consistent top ten team play Valpo or Holy Cross in February? :stupid:

terpy, i can't believe you are criticizing duke for playing valpo, when Duke's SOS rank is second best in the ACC and 5th in the nation.

Does every consistent top 10 team have 3 NCs and 10 final fours?

Seems Duke's strategy is working better than almost everyone else's.

Well when you are 7th in the ACC, you can be playing NBA teams... If you suck, you suck.

Valpo is not a cupcake. I don't consider any team in Div. 1 who is #1 in their conference a cupcake.
