***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

It's been an interesting day in college basketball to say the least. If you haven't had the chance to listen to Jay Bilas's comments about the situation from PTI Friday, do yourself and Google it. As is typically the case, Bilas torches the NCAA.

Onto today. Back home again and a chance to keep rolling against the Orange in Cameron. Syracuse always seems to battle us well and the 2-3 matchup has given us fits in the past. That said, with us running more zone and this game at home, I think we cover and win fairly easily. Still up in the air whether Bagley plays but at this point, it might be better to rest him another game anyway.

Tonight's game is slated for a 6:15pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD.

Duke 84

Syracuse 68

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

We are playing our best ball of the year. But there is something about that Cuse zone that slows it down, (similar to now ours), and we always seem to play close games against this team. I think we are too much though and pull away late.

I like the way we're attacking opposing defenses, but the Cuse zone presents its own set of unique problems. Still like us putting it way last few minutes, 78-64.

I think a hot Grayson will be to much for the Orange. We win by double didgits! GO DUKE!!!

I think we're going to carve through the Cuze zone like a sharp knife through a big fat Thanksgiving turkey.

Maybe we can get Jim to lose his ish again.

Duke - 83
Cuse - 67

 

[duhondukie]

I think we come out a little flat due to all the talking heads with the media outlets yesterday. I think this is a nail biter.

I really think you just idolize me, don’t you @skysdad? You have to always copy my score lol...old age will do that to a man!!!

 

[500HP_Devil]

Duke is -13 and I think we cover. Longhorn steaks for everybody after.

Duke- 90
Cuse-60

Bagley with 20 and 14

 

[sgrooms]

Duke- 90
Cuse-60

Bagley with 20 and 14

Bagley? I like that prediction.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Seems it should be a low scoring game in the 60's, but who knows the way Duke has been playing....just win and win big

 

[Dad2ze]

Duke- 90
Cuse-60

Bagley with 20 and 14

He’s playing???

 

[pisgah101]

He’s playing???

He called me earlier jk I'm taking a stab in the dark

 

[Duke1783]

80-67...Go Duke!!!

 

[gottagonow]

I see a little lower scoring than usual for us maybe us 77 them 69.

 

[jrtplaya]

He’s playing???

Yes sir just got the tweet that he's all clear!!!

 

[dachampishere2]

Hope Bagley plays. I feel cheated every game he’s out. I want to see the full team. I think Grayson will keep playing the way he plays. Bagley gets the offensive rebounds and score a lot that way. Carter continues to get a double double. And we win by 20. Then everybody get drunk and I’ll drink my Alkaline water.

 

[Duke1783]

Yes sir just got the tweet that he's all clear!!!

Just got it too...things are about to get real

 

[DukeSky85]

Heeeesss baaaaaack!!!!!

 

[dachampishere2]

Welcome back welcome back welcome back!

 

[jcdevilfan]

Could be a little tighter than most expect, must win for Cuse. I think Grayson and Gary will find their range against the zone, and Grayson will penetrate and dish off to Wendell. Watch for transition points from the Devils.
Duke will not let this one get away.
Go Duke!

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Yay! Bagley’s back. With the way we have been playing, I think we win big!

Duke: 87
Cuse: 69

Let’s Go Duke!!

That stuff is rough, and can get very serious. Get well soon, Show, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Keep it in check. Bad stuff. Prayers brother!

Got the flu boys, it’s horrible. I’ll try my best to watch. Go Duke

The flu is rough but I know you going to check in, so don’t check out

 

[christophero]

Yay Bagley cleared. Predict Bagley plays 20, gets 8, we win by 21. Feel free to repost this later. (Only if I'm right). Feel better Showenuff. Last time I was sick I took Nyquil and slept through the game, which we lost. SJU I think.

 

[hallside]

Being from Northern NY, this is always a big game for me. Almost all my friends are Cuse fans, and they hate Duke just as much as UK fans honestly. Obviously, I like us at home against them, but Boeheim has surely let them know the gravity this game has on their postseason. Whether Bagley plays or not, I still think home cooking allows us to win big once again.

Duke - 74
SU - 60
