The return of Dickie V.. of course he does it for our biggest game left on the schedule! We are currently a 7.5 point favorite over the tigers and that seems fair

Clemson provides the BEST resistance we have left in the ACC and the only team (and venue) we have left that I feel could give us a conference L. This is a big game for Clemson and would go a long ways toward seeding in the ncaa and another hallmark win along with the UK one. We tend to struggle on the road against Clemson winning only 2 of the last 6! However i think we get the dub a little easier then some will think…

Duke-87
Clemson-70

One of the taller teams we have faced and they're all experienced. Wondering how both teams gonna matchup. Gonna be a battle. It'll be our defense vs their 3 point shooting. Think they start hot and we have to weather the storm. And we pull away late.

Anyone know if Gillis made the trip?

Let's go Duke.

Duke 78

Trap game on paper but this team is legit. Duke 75 Clemson 70. This Clemson team is experienced and deep. Could go either way but I am betting on this team. Brown back makes us a lot better.

Duke in a tight one. Excited to hear Dickie V back on the call.

I’m with Pisgah on this one, but a little closer. Great to have Brown back and hopefully Gillis today.

Duke 82-70.

It will be the loudest environment for our team this season. We better be ready, because Clemson will be.

The only player they can’t match is Flagg. Zackery and Hunter can score. The seven foot Russian matches up well with Mal. Schafield can’t get hot and can not allow them multiple rebounds for the kick out to open shooters . This will be a very tight game. Will need a lot from the guards and the bench .
Duke wins but in a tight game.

 

[NCirishman]

We win by a tad

 

[bullcity gamer]

The Blue Devils will need to bring it! Great Opportunity for a Quad 1 Win to add to the resume.

Wonder if Christian Reeves gets any playing time tonight for the tigers.

Biggest Test for Duke before the game against Illinois in a couple weeks.

 

[christophero]

Reeves is averaging around 5 minutes per game for Clemson. They are a big team. Lots of seniors as well.

 

[youngman42]

Gonna be really tough. So many years we’ve lost at Clemson when they are good. Tough arena and they will be psyched.

They are old. Big. Physical. This is going to be a really good test of an SEC-type team with size and physicality. And on the road.

If we win this that could really be a good sign. I could see us losing if we get into a lapse or go cold from 3. But this team has generally stepped up all year. Let’s see. Let’s go Duke!

As always, GTHC, GTH.

 

[christophero]

Gillis out sick again. At least we have Brown.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Kansas State defeats Kansas! Creighton and Marquette are coming down to the wire on FOX

Gillis out sick again. At least we have Brown.

Brown on Schef plays into Dukes favor .
Big Pat is going to get some minutes and I like him especially if Reeves gets in . Evans and Foster need to show out and find their scoring tonight .

Creighton takes down Marquette

 

[bullcity gamer]

Great 1st half between Auburn and Florida. The Gators are up 10 and Martin is not playing for them today due to a hip injury. Clayton Jr. can really shoot it for the Gators, he has no conscience.

Imo Auburn, Alabama, and Duke will all end up being #1 seeds as long as neither of them experience any collapses. I think the final #1 seed will come down to Tennessee and Florida and I trust Florida more than I trust Tennessee.

Never trust Rick Barnes

[bleediteveryday30]

No LeBron or Luka and we still have to watch this instead of the Duke game. Damn.
