Binghamton +21.5...Yes Please!

After I stormed the court and took a picture with Brodus gave D.J. Rivera (the real AEC MVP) a high five, I returned to my apartment and waited for Selection Sunday eager to find out who we would play in the dance.

DUKE...oh shit...or is it?

As a 15 seed we are expecting to get blown out of the water, we can beat Retrievers but not Blue Devils! 

But hold on a second, 
Duke is overrated, winning the ACC over Florida State earned them a 2 seed. 
Duke is probably not going beyond the sweet 16.
Duke has had bad luck in the tournament in the past.
Binghamton has nothing to prove.
Binghamton matches up well with Duke.
Binghamton and Duke are both small game teams.

Duke won the ACC (congratulations) and yes, the ACC is much (times 8) better than the AEC, but its also not the Big East. 
The Bearcats would rather play Duke, than any other 4 through 1 seed in the tournament. This has the possibility of being a close game.

My prediction for 3/20 game: Duke wins by 17 and does NOT cover the 21.5 point spread.
