***DUKE VS AUBURN MAUI INVITE SEMI-FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

This team just continues to roll. Tonight should be an interesting test for us. But as I've stated in every thread so far I think, if we hit from the perimeter, we can't be stopped. You can't pick your poison with this Duke team because we have too many weapons.

Tonight's game is slated for an 8pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD.

Duke 91

Auburn 76

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell, I don't think I can pick against this team in any game now. Duke 97 Auburn 71.

 

[duhondukie]

Auburn is really good and so are we. We have to stay out of foul trouble to win this game.
I hope I am wrong but I think this is the first of our 4 losses on the season.
Auburn 83
Duke 79

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I think we roll tonight. Way to much talent and aggressiveness for Auburn to handle!!! We win going away!!
OFC

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Duke wins. Auburn played pretty sloppily against an Average Xavier team. I think we are fine in this one.

Duke: 92
Auburn :77

Let’s go Duke!!

 

[LTDukeFan]

I have been on the high side of scoring so far, but not this game.

I see Duke only winning by 12. Only?!

Duke — 93
Auburn — 81

SDSU is favored against Xavier, that makes me even more confident today.

 

[Skeelow22]

Go Duke!
Duke 84
Auburn 71

 

[Dad2ze]

Probably gonna be the closest one yet.

Duke - 83
Auburn - 74

 

[crazyduke3]

Duke baby. As long as we scrap we will win.

 

[Laettner15]

Duke - 80
Auburn - 71

 

[dukesince91]

I think with this team, if there is a championship on the line they're going to win. Duke 90 Auburn 72

 

[Lavar5150]

Auburn will press which will lead to a highlight reel.

Duke 85
Auburn 74

Not happening tonight lol.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

I am not picking against Duke until they show me what a loss with this roster looks like. Duke scores 95 and wins by 20.

 

[500HP_Devil]

Duke is favored by 10.

I want to see our boys face some adversity and battle through it. I think they are men of steel.

Duke 91

I thought the game was at 2:30pm EDT today for some reason. 8 is much better!

 

[dukehokie]

I’d be willing to bet Auburn leads at some point this game. Maybe even at the half. But they can’t match the size and perimeter rebounding this team has. Pearl will press, and that’s ok. We can handle it. Tight game, but a win nonetheless.

Duke - 90
Auburn - 80

 

[dopeshop23]

Duke’s fresher...we win going away late. 96 -71 and keep the 20+ point streak going.

Looking forward to seeing this game! We should be relatively rested considering the minutes from the last game. Go Duke!

I'm nervous until we get out of Hawaii. Not because I'm afraid we lose but because I'm worried about Zion setting off seismic activity with his dunks.

[pisgah101]

We beat the number 3 or 4 beat team in the SEC by 34.. Auburn is the 2nd best behind Tennessee so I’ll go..

Pearl Necklace is a good coach. They will keep it close but we pull away very late.

If you're right Hokie, better send some emt's to Shady Acres Retirement Village to check on our resident ofc Sky. He's been saying his heart can't stand tight games.

Pisgah flexing his mountain muscles with his prediction. Sky likes him better than you right now.

Auburn loves to shoot the "3", but they couldn't find the range last night. Let's hope the lid is still on the basket tonight! They also love to get out and run, but so do we, and I don't think their bigs can run with ours for 40 minutes.
Big test for "Tre" tonight, and if he can neutralize their PG and stay out of foul trouble, I really don't think they can stay with us.
I don't care if it is by 1 or 20, Duke will find a way!
Go Duke!

[Buzzooka Joe]

If we play #8 Auburn today and the #3 Zags tomorrow.. will we have played the most difficult schedule of any team in the nation so far?

3 of our first 6 games would have been against top 8 teams.

Hello Duke fans,

Looking forward to the game tonight. Obviously it's a massive game for our program. You guys are stacked as usual.

I will say, if our perimeter shooters are shooting like they are capable of tonight, this will be a tight game. All 5 of our starters can hit the 3 consistently and we have enough frontcourt depth to sustain some foul trouble. If you haven't seen us play, we have a small but very talented backcourt in Bryce Brown and Jared Harper. Chuma Okeke is probably the best "pro" prospect we have on the team at PF and is a very smooth player with great range as well.

Not picking the upset, but I fully expect our Tigers to play yall tough tonight. Good early season measuring stick for Bruce and Co. WDE.

 

[Showenuff]

Thanks for stopping by AA. I’m just hoping for a W and no injuries.

I haven't seen you all play yet, and I'm not picking the upset either, but I will wish you best of luck in the SEC and I hope you beat the crap out of you know who
