We enter Miami as a 22.5 point favorite with soon to be hurricane head coach Jai Lucas on our bench.. hopefully he’s not a spy for this one ;) either way we win in a rout over this 6 win squad

Duke- 102
Miami-62

Duke but I feel weird about this one . Not the game but the implication of the rumors that the Boozer twins could be persuaded to follow Jai to Miami . You got to think it’s odd of the timing of the announcement.

If the Boozer twins bailed to Miami because of one assistant coach, that would be a massive indictment of the rest of the staff at Duke. Don't even see that as a realistic possibility.
 
I think we start out slow for the first 10-12 minutes, NYC hangover, long travel from the northeast to Miami. Then we cruise. Would love to see Evans have another big game and for Big Pat to be effective for 15-20 minutes.

And there is a 0.0% chance the Boozers are following Jai to Miami. Losing Jai will hurt, he's our defensive coordinator and lead recruiter, but we have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Not happening.
 
Just off reading some of the comments about the rumors of the Boozer's "possibly" following Lucas to Miami, I say if they are willing to do that due to an assistant coach, then go. I don't care how good they are. A kid needs to be committed to the HEAD COACH.

As far as tonight's game, we should win by double digits.
 
@Miami is usually a tough game for us. They always seemed to have super quick, slippery guards who gave us fits. But this is a different ACC and a different Duke team. I think we cruise to a 25 point win.

Duke 84
Miami 60

If Proctor continues his strong play and Evans continues his recent solid 3 point shooting I really like our chances to win the ACC tourney and make a final four run. From there, anything could happen. The rest of the pieces are in place. Get Brown back and that just makes us stronger!

I honestly can’t imagine with the boozer name being what it is at Duke them making the decision to decommit and follow an assistant from here. Would be a real bad look- besides who comes to Duke for an assistant coach
 
I only brought it up because sure I’ve seen a couple articles saying ,” could the Boozer twins follow .” One was on the sporting news ( don’t know how legit they are ) simply clicked on the article . They just mentioned that Jai was their lead recruiter along with Flagg and Kon and that Miami was home . The only reason I brought it up was because the timing of the Miami announcement and the time left in the season.
 
There is just an absurd amount of clickbait on the internet, and Duke being Duke gets a lot of play. The info and intel on this board is 100 times more reliable. How many more "Cooper Flagg coming back for second year at Duke" posts am I going to see??
