***DUKE VS BOSTON COLLEGE 1ST RD ACC TOURNEY OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

I’m not changing a thing. Duke has to worry about today, and win today.

The Blue Devils enter today’s contest as a -12.5 favorite over the 4-15 Golden Eagles.

Confidently, I like Duke to cover in this one. I think we’ll have a chip on one shoulder after the embarrassment in Chapel Hill Saturday.

Today’s game is slated for a 4:30pm est tip and the game will air on the ACC Network.

Duke - 85

Boston College - 70

GO DUKE!!!!!!!

Just Win Baby

I thought it was a 4:30 tip.

I don't know what to expect today. Could be a blowout for Duke, could be a nail biter. So I'll go in between and say 70-65 Duke in a game that never feels comfortable.

K-ville lives in the mid west which of course is in another time zone. He probably just posted 3:30 automatacly. OFC

Game preview:

Duke vs. Boston College Game Preview |

Does Duke have a miraculous run in them? Every indication points to no, but it is March, and crazier things have happened. “Win or go home” games have started early for Duke this year. Usually, these types games don’t begin until Duke kicks off March Madness. This year, they need an improbable...

One game at a time. Hopefully Duke can win this one without over exerting anyone.

Why is the spread going up? What do they know that we don't know, and that we wish we knew?

 

[christophero]

We fall behind, the board goes into full meltdown mode and then we eke out a 6 point win. I don't trust this team in a close game so hopefully we put them away. If Virginia had one more second that would have been another heartbreaking loss. Losing to a 13 point underdog to end the year would be a bad way to go out. I think we win, mainly because I don't want to think about the alternative.

 

[Mac9192]

Think we win big today. Which makes for payback against Louisville. Crazy season, no reason to think we can’t make a run.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Just win and advance!!!

Chance for more reps. Take advantage of these games for learning purposes down the road.

 

[christophero]

Up 8

 

[Shatterthesky22]

We're shooting well but getting out rebounded by 4. Need to step it up there and take the life out of them soon.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Williams doesn't have a rebound and Hurt is 0-fer yet, we're up 12. Roach is doing a good job so far but we aren't gonna keep shooting 60% from deep and if we don't step it up they can absolutely crawl back in.

 

[christophero]

We're up 15 Debbie downer lol

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Were up 15 Debbie downer lol

I know I know. I'm happy, it just feels a bit like fools gold so far. I mean, we have hit 8 threes to their 1.

 

[geddoughton23]

I was thrilled for BC that they beat Notre Dame last week. I thought that they might phone it in after their coach was fired. I hope Duke wins . I like your chances against Louisville too

 

[Shatterthesky22]

It would be nice if our guys stay scorching hot for the next four days and steal a bid from UNC. I'd be so flippin happy.

It’s gotta be too good to be true, right?

 

[BigRedLar]

Man, I hate the ACCN. Provider no longer carries the ACC. I know they're getting paid but it sure seems like they're hurting their own brand by not televising their tournament games.

I feel the same way. We look like the same team to me, just hitting shots against a terrible team

Doesn’t beat Mark and steward playing their self into the draft to lose tomorrow 😂

Let’s go!!!!!!!!

 

[Jake1985]

Where’s Brakefield?

 

[Liftee]

Is the bench getting some burn? I'm just following the score and can't tell if the starters are resting.

Take that back right now.

 

[acc hoops]

Time to sit the starters.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Best we've looked all year today. Great Ball movement for almost the entirety of the game. Loved the energy from this group today. Don't care that it was against a bad BC team. This felt good after the up and down year we've had.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Not much to complain about. Second half was even better than the first and we looked like a team. Next.

Jordan's 3 at the end of the half was such a huge boost mentally for this group.
