***DUKE VS WOFFORD OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

I’m just glad we’re playing again.

Tonight’s game is slated for a 7pm est tip and will air on ESPN2. Duke currently sits at -19 according to ESPN. I’m not sure I like Duke to cover that considering Wofford has played three games since our last tilt including a beat down of the Tar Hole in Cheater Hill.

Duke 84

Wofford 69

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

Happy birthday! (It’s still yesterday where I live)

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'm worried about some rust, but I still think we get it done. Wofford is going to shoot 3 after 3 so we have to be ready for that. Play good defense, and get some of those missed 3's going back the other way for some easy points.

And Happy Birthday, DieHard!

[Hurley22]

Man, talk about needing a Duke basketball game! Duke by 14!

 

[Dad2ze]

Duke - 84
Wofford - 63

Happy Birthday @DiehardDukeFan4Life

 

[Canadian Dukie]

Shake off some early rust then we roll 89-68 Duke!

 

[timo0402]

Definitely will be rusty i presume.

Whatever i predicted on the podcast.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

We might be a little sloppy to start from the lay off, but if we keep them from going off from 3 point land I think we win by double didgits. GO DUKE!!!!
OFC

 

[Laettner15]

Well I’m glad the game is at 7... being sick sucks so I’m hoping I can stay awake-

will look a little rusty.. people will panic (guilty over here) and then duke pulls away in the 2nd half.

duke - 77
WU - 62

 

[QC Dukie]

We have a tight first half. Da champ calls K at half and tells him what he’s doing wrong. K makes the adjustments and we roll in the second half.

 

[pisgah101]

Duke wins

 

[Fourteen44]

Duke 94
Wofford 81

 

[jwill133]

We traditionally come out and play very sluggish in the game right before Christmas. The best thing they do is shoot 3's and the best thing we do is defend 3's. That helps.
Ugly early and then we pull away late.

[Duke Blu]

Will HIGH FLYING Cash Stanley return tonight?

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

I’ll be there with my dad. His first game at Cameron. Caveat- Hes been to one Duke game ever. It was the game we lost as a 2 seed to a 15 seed. So................I apologize ahead of time. But Duke wins.

Duke 83
UNC at Wofford- 69

what?? And you’ll get to watch us play a top 5 program

 

[denverexpat]

If we pound it inside we will be fine, worried we get 3 happy but hopefully not. NOT losing to Wofford after the cheaters lost to them should be a major motivation for the team even if we have some rust from the layoff.

Duke 81-69

[K-oach Q]

It’s being reported Tre Jones out tonight with a foot injury...All kinds of suck!

 

[dachampishere2]

No Tre. So we look really sloppy. Might get to see Cassius be more assertive though. Duke 74 Wofford 62

 

[SWEc/o95]

Will be minus Tre tonight because of a foot injury?

 

[dukehokie]

Tre being out is going to be felt in both sides, but primarily on D. This isn’t ideal. We still defend the three well, but I have a feeling we’re going to have to do the small ball stuff again.

Watch Alex win player of the game in the gameball poll though.

Duke - 88
Wofford - 73

 

[Laettner15]

Jordan Goldwire time... I talked highly of him a few weeks ago, hope he can deliver

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Thanks everyone

 

[JCColsCane]

"D" will suffer w/out Tre, young team and long break not a good combo, but if we can limit their 3's and pound the paint, Duke will win.

Go Duke!
OFC

 

[dukiejay]

I didn't think we'd cover the 19 points before the news about Tre, so I definitely don't think we will now.

My biggest worry is being very sluggish coming off the 13-day break. Couple that with Wofford coming off a win against the Heels and we could be looking at a tight game....similar to when we were just unable to shake off Winthrop after the SFA loss.

We're still going to win, but I'll say 81-71.

 

[retiredsoldier]

Some combination of players will step up tonight and I'm sure K will have them extremely focused especially after watching them dismantle that arrangement of buildings up the road. I think it's a good chance they may cover and come out straight balling. I could be wrong, but going with my gut feeling lol.
Duke has the horses to match up with any lineup they throw out. I saw this on another board and thought it was pretty interesting since they have had a long layoff since the last Va Tech game. Duke started out slow for some games and then took over.

During exam break:
12/18/2018: Duke vs Princeton, (W) 101-50
12/20/2017: Duke vs Evansville, (W) 104-40

12/15/2015: Duke vs Georgia Southern, (W) 99-65
12/15/2014: Duke vs Elon, (W) 75-62
12/16/2013: Duke vs Gardner-Webb, (W) 85-66
12/19/2012: Duke vs Cornell, (W) 88-47
12/19/2011: Duke vs UNC-Greensboro, (W) 90-63
12/20/2010: Duke vs Elon, (W) 98-72

 

[Showenuff]

81-71.
