No more time to whine about the bracket. It&#8217;s time to get ready for our old friends the Delaware Blue Hens, who the Dukes welcome for an opening round match-up in the &#8216;burg this weekend. You know the drill by now. Leave a comment below letting us know who you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closes to nailing it (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post. That&#8217;s it. And while we&#8217;re at it, please not that we&#8217;re going to have the winner from the Towson prediction contest, post next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. That&#8217;s it. Now go prep the Turkey and get ready to root.
