How are you guys feeling about the upcoming matchup? Haven't watched much of you guys, but you seem to be doing just fine. Carey is legit. Was one of those pipe dream recruits for us until Coach K got involved. Always the bridesmaid to those kind of kids when we go up against Duke.

Izzo finally got the monkey off his back against K last March, but no guarantees that will last. Should be a competitive game. MSU has enough upper class-men with experience, but we're also very reliant on a handful of freshman and guys who weren't that pivotal last year. Will be fun to watch!
 
Haven’t watched much but you are in here moments after our nationally televised game to talk about a game that is a week and a half away?

I look forward to a fun game. I will root like heck for Duke but I expect Michigan St. to pull it out. You do too which is why you popped in.

Looking for healthy conversation, that's all. I know you just played, but I watched the first 5 minutes and then watched a movie with my wife, if you must know. And of course I want MSU to win. If I wanted to "puff my chest" to an opposing fanbase, you can best believe the last place I'd start would be with Duke fans. You can look up the record, but I'm sure you already know.
 
No issue with the post or the discussion about the upcoming game. Just pointing out 2 facts; you have watched us a fair amount and you expect to win in a couple of weeks. With that said go Duke.

I think msu might be a little better right now especially with that game being at east Lansing. But I will take my chances come march against anyone If we keep inproving.

Chick Flick or Guy Movie?
 
If should be a really good game. We’ll know more about how the game could go over the next week or so because we still have 2 games to play before the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and ya’ll still 3 games to play before the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.
 
We will beat MSU. Michigan State is known for turning the ball over a lot and we have an elite defense this year that causes a lot of turnovers. We are very good rebounding the ball so that won't be their usual advantage. Duke by 6
 
I think Duke comes out with the win. I have a feeling they will take us against the world mentality that night and come out balling. It should be a great game regardless. Tre is one year older going back up against Winston, and we have way more options on offense other than 2 guys who everybody knows will get the ball. Let's Go Duke!

I think it will be a nail biter and wouldn’t bet a lot of money on it straight up or with or against the spread.
What I do know if both teams will be prepared and ready.

Depends how the game is called. Jones didn't adjust last year to Winston's pushing off. If Winston is allowed to do that and Carey is pushed around with no calls, could be a long night for Duke. How will K adjust? He didn't last year.

Zion also had his kersey deliberately held st last 2,3 times that were caught on camera. At least 2 of those created turnovers on RJ entry passes into Zion in the post. One led to a run out and 1 for MSU. That one alone was a potential 7-8 point swing by not being called as an intentional foul, as it should have been.

I think we win. Wanna do an AV and signature bet on it?
 
Michigan State vs. Virginia Tech tomorrow at 5:00pm Eastern Time is a game to keep any eye on. Duke’s next four games are against Stephen F Austin, Winthrop, @ Michigan State, and @ Virginia Tech
 
The best thing in my opinion with the game with Michigan St is that we are at their place. A big time opponent on the road.
 
Pix stepping up to the plate with the Av challenge. Well done sir.
 
This isn’t the MSU team that will make a decent run in the tournament. No Langford and no true identity outside of Winston yet is making them look sloppy at the moment. I like Malik Hall a lot and I love Aaron Henry’s game, but he constantly seems to be on Izzo’s bad side.

I’m predicting Duke to win this one, but it will be close. Again, not the same team they’ll have to end the season. MSU will be a lot better in March.
 
I think the greatest thing about this Duke team is the defensive intensity that we play with. However, this will be a lot of our guys first crazy road environment, and you gotta think that MSU will come out with tons of fire and intensity.

This game reminds me a lot like the Duke @ Wisconsin game that the 2015 team won. I think we prevail again, no way Izzo beats K twice in 9 months.

It reminds me 100% of that game and to have a team that slightly resembles that squad is eerie. We’re going to beat MSU. They don’t have an identity yet. Not even in the toughness category. This isn’t your typical “wear the football pads in practice” MSU. Tre has some payback ready for Winston.

Oh by the way, want to take a wild guess at what day that game was played? I’ll wait...

Winston gave Duke tons of problems last year. I think they will play a bit better against him and in fact this Duke team is more sound as a team defense this season.

That, coupled with the fact that Izzo's teams are not typically as good in December as they are in March, I think Duke will pull off the win in a close matchup that could go either way. If it were in Duke I'd say Duke 72-63.

I think it will be Duke, 66-64. But, may come down to the last shot.
 
The best thing Duke does is force turnovers, at this point, I think everyone can agree that is the #1 thing this Duke team does.
What I guess would worry me is that Cassius Winston takes great care of the ball, even with Tre hounding him. Cassius got the better of Tre last March, let's hope Tre can flip the script and outplay him this time (Tre probably doesn't even have to outplay him, but if he can play even with him, we should cruise.)

MSU's starting center right now is that big white guy that wears the face-mask? I think he's gonna have a lot of trouble with Vernon, I mean A LOT of trouble.

MSU is always an elite rebounding team, so we won't get 40 offensive rebounds like we seemingly do every other game.
I think we win unless MSU gets super hot from 3, which they are supposed to be a bad 3 point shooting team, so probably won't happen.
