last of the gauntlet games. Can we win and finish .500? Or do we lose and have a lot less impressive pre conference? Either way we will be better for it come March I believe

Bruce Pearl comes in to Cameron for the first time to my knowledge, as (to me) one of the best coaches in the nation. Auburn is 7-0 ranked #2 with impressive wins over Houston, Carolina, Iowa State and Memphis.

Duke coming off a fairly lackluster game against Seattle U and a heartbreaking loss against KU is looking for possibly our signature win for the season.

Auburn is a 2.5 point favorite

I can’t go against our boys, I think we get the big time Dub

Duke- 83

Think Duke gets it done. Have to bring the fight to Auburn from the opening tip and for the whole game.

Heart says Duke
Head says Auburn.
Don't matter what I think.
This will be a war.

Need Kon to make some shots and prove he can play against tough competition. Other than that, think we're going to see alot of Brown in the game. Need to rebound rebound rebound

Auburn.
Flagg struggles first half and Kon is off on his three’s
Broome has big game .

I think we squeak this one out. Brown with a big defensive game and we make a much better percentage of our 3’s at home. If this was on the road, we lose.

Duke 77-73

It's going to be a dogfight. Hope the boys are ready.

Grown Men Game. We need our transfers to play BIG. I do not want to see our guys picking Flagg up off the floor. PLAY STRONG!

Looks like us duke fans have lower our expectations , many picking us to lose.

I believe Duke is 2.5 point favorites, not Auburn. Biggest game of the year so far, and it'll probably stay the biggest game until some February games. Wouldn't call this a must win, but if we lose than our odds of a 1 seed will be about 2%. Keep Broome in check, no sloppy turnovers, and someone besides Proctor needs to start hitting three's. I think we get a lift from the home crowd..
Duke 84

Hope Coach Scheyer starts the following in this game:

Proctor
James
Flagg
Brown
Maluach

Set the tone early!
