Here we go for round 2.. the deacons are going all out for this one! They are currently a 2.5 point favorite, giving away t shirts, sold out arena, win and go to the dance! That’s a lot of pressure on Wake to live up to and it’s a lot to be thrown at us.

I think we have turned a corner.. the last two games were just different.. this one is key to see if we really have turned it or not.. this is the best team outside of Carolina we will play until round of 32 or sweet 16!

Duke-79
Wake- 62
 
This is a massive game. We win this road game and we have a solid path to an ACC regular season championship and a 2 seed that hopefully puts us in Houston or Purdue’s region (South or Midwest). Also gives us a real shot at playing 1st two games in the NCAA Tourney in NC.

Have to contain Sallis if we are going to win this one. Their guards are both really good so need our A game on defense on the perimeter.
 
This one could go either way. Wake really needs this for their resume. We need it for an ACC title and seeding. Another good test for the team. The game is sold out. A Duke win and a UNC loss to the Hoos would put us solely in first place and moves us into the 2 seed conversation.

Expect them to get more calls than us. First game we shot 25 free throws, they shot 13. Contain Sallis and hopefully Monsanto don't get hot from 3.

Just win
 
Sallis might be the biggest impact transfer. We need to contain him. All 4 Gameday guys picked Wake, including J Will.
 
Clearly Wake is a solid team and currently they have a lot more to play for than we do. Still, Duke has matured a lot in the past couple weeks. If we continue our solid team defense and we shoot a fair clip from 3 I think we win. If they ride the home crowd and someone gets hot they win.

Wake caves to the pressure of the moment and Duke takes this one.

Not to blame or call out refs, but Duke wins a close one as long as Roger Ayers isn't calling the game. Just a feeling! Go Duke! OFC
 
Despite HORRIBLE officiating, we are okay. Also, we all love Blakes but this is a game he shouldn't leave the bench.
 
Just a stupid shot at the end which led to us gifting them two more pts to end the half.

Have to be smarter than that….just idiotic.
 
Basketball iQ at the end was low. No idea what Flip was thinking. The players have been in this situation enough to know better.
 
Good first half with some bad decisions at the very end. We’ve been coming out well in second half’s. Let’s build a 6-10 point lead and take the life out of them.
 
Just got home how are we doing? The game is not on out here, at least not on a channel I have.
 
Its not rocket science....Scheyer needs to get on them for leaving the obvious and biggest threat open....Coach K made other players beat us...never their best player.

Who is guarding him too much inside help D is leaving Sallis open. Does the coach have a clue?
Not at the moment..and apparently not at half time...he's the main threat and everyone know it. THis game plan isnt going to get the win unless we match his 3's
