Here we go again - until we prove that we can beat a decent ACC team on the road (and some not-so decent teams we haven't beaten either), we're all going to be a bit skiddish about road games.
Tonight at Miami won't be any different. As is usually the case, Coach L has his team playing well, poised for another tourney run and they're sound defensively and very athletic. Are we more talented? Not even close but as I say repeatedly in every gameday thread I do, until we learn to defend, the season is going to continue to crap shoot every night.
We will turn the corner - I do believe it. I can remember the two game skid in 2015 against NC State and Miami where we all thought if this team couldn't defend, we weren't going anywhere. Then Coach K decided to go zone against Louisville and the rest is history.
We will be find, just need to continue grinding and continue improving in practice. My biggest concern about today is the one day turn around with very little time to prepare. None the less, I like our chances.
Tonight's game is slated for a 7pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD. Duke also comes in at a -3.5 spread even at the Watsco Center.
Duke 88
Miami 81
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
