Just ask Corey Maggette, who left after one season at Duke, how much better his game would be had he stayed in coach Mike Krzyzewski's program the last two years.

Considered a lock for future NBA stardom after a sensational freshman year in 1999, Maggette passed up a chance to become the "big man" on campus and instead opted to turn pro. Instead of stardom, he's now a bench player on the Los Angeles Clippers. Some fun, huh?

In my opinion, the only thing that can stop Duke over the next three weeks is injuries. Judging by recent events, it's quite possible that this will end up being Achilles' heel of the Blue Devils. They have not only lost starting center Carlos Boozer to a broken foot, but have also been without Williams' services after he sprained his ankle against North Carolina in Sunday's ACC Championship game.

Barring any further mishaps, though, Duke remains the team to beat in the tournament. Like I mentioned earlier, I predict that the Blue Devils' will defeat defending champion Michigan State on April 2nd in an old-fashioned shootout and claim its third championship in the last 11 years.

But then again, I'm just a guy who fills out his NCAA bracket by religiously choosing the higher seed. So what do I know?
