We rolled through round one last year against Troy very similar to how we dispatched Iona yesterday but then quickly ran into a buzz saw with the Gamecocks.
Rhode Island in many ways is similar to that South Carolina team so we better come prepared tomorrow for what they will bring. They may not have the defensive prowess that SC did but they certainly can play. They're athletic and have nothing to lose - which we will get a lot of throughout the tournament but sending a message tomorrow against Rhode Island that we are as talented and prepared as any team that remains would be a huge statement heading into the Sweet Sixteen.
If we hit shots like we did in game one from the perimeter, we will make quick work of the Rams.
Ultimately, I think Duke wins but doesn’t cover the - 9 1/2 spread. Tomorrow's game is slated to begin at 2:40 pm est and will air on CBS HD
Duke 81
Rhode Island 74
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
