Finally a “test” on the road against a deacs team that’s in need of a signature win. We are a 10.5 point favorite.

After a Ho hum game that resulted in a win I think wake will bring their A game against us tomorrow.. will it be enough? No

Duke-87
Wake-72

Duke.

Duke but they are capable of beating us. We never get good whistles there.

Agree with this prediction pisgah. Will be interesting to see how Wake tries to defend Duke tomorrow. Wake zoned unc on Monday night, the deacs try that against Duke, then Duke will make them pay by hitting their 3's or by letting Flagg/Kon/Gillis go to work from the free throw line in while looking to Mal for the lobs. I don't think Wake has the defenders to match up with Duke man to man. I think Flagg and Maluach will have Strong Games tomorrow.

Nobody does, Chris.

We have the size but they're very experienced. If they go zone, we can't fall in love with the 3. But in the end, I think it'll come down to free throws and 3 ball. Cheats only shot 10 free throws vs 27 for Wake. Think it'll be the normal Duke game where they keep it close for a bit and part of the second half and we start to pull away.

Let's go Duke!

Wake used 1 3 1 against unc towards end of game. I think Duke wins and beats the spread. I look for Flagg to have another big game

 

[t-towndomer]

Defense is going to rule the day, Duke by 15+.

 

[dukesince91]

Duke 81-67
I think Duke starts off rusty, settles in, and cruises the last 8 minutes to cover the spread. Our fans will probably be worried at halftime.

Duke 80
Wake 74

Duke- 78
WF- 70

finally game day. I’m just pissed we had to wait a whole week to see cooper play again. This is going to be a tough matchup, pretty sure the environment is going to be loud.

 

[Mac9192]

A great test for Duke. Wake has won several in a row. Vegas agrees with you guys that think we win by double digits. Hope you fellas are right.

 

[christophero]

They have won 6 in a row and are undefeated at home. Great test. Looking forward to how we do. Think we win a grinder.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Will be a Great Opportunity for a Resume Building Win with 1) Wake being undefeated at home and 2) Wake currently being in 4th place in the ACC

Think our guys will be Dialed In

 

[sheyduke]

Duke wins but it’s not going to be easy. Wakes backcourt can give us fits if our guards aren’t dialed in.

 

[Dad2ze]

Should be a golf game. Wake will go up early. Duke wins

Duke - 84
Wake - 65

 

[Dad2ze]

Wake needs to invest in better cameras. They suck. The screen looks green!

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Our guys are getting mauled and not getting calls

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Apparently it's legal to clothesline your opponent driving to the basket.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

This game will be unwatchable. Wake is literally just hacking non stop and there will be no flow to the game at all.

 

[ioliva]

Is it just me or the broadcast feels super zoomed out

 

[JimboSlice00]

I’m fine with this style game. Duke is built for this.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Is it just me or the broadcast feels super zoomed out

Everything about it is fugly

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Refs letting a ton of shit go. I despise these assholes.

 

[ioliva]

Reid just threw ngongba down and tv ted was like whattttttt

 

[The_Only_Blue]

They trying to muck it up against us. Seems like teams trying that against us more to get us off our game. Going to be one of those games our vets will have to play more with the physically

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We must be like Batman with the Mutant Leader with opponents who pull us into the mud.

 

[ioliva]

This team excites me so much. Remember when we lost last year? Cooper was like it’s because they were soft. I thought to myself… sure bro you’re tough playing in high school now but you still skinny af. Just wait until you play against grown men.

Nahhh last years team was soft. This team is tough

 

[bleediteveryday30]

What is a foul in college basketball? This is a legitimate question. Because I don't know anymore.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Foul fest. Ridiculous

 

[Mr.Scary13]

These guys get paid good money to make these atrocious calls time after time.......

You're absolutely so right here.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Duke hitting 3s and attacking the zone with Flagg/Kon/Maluach like I figured they would. James and Proctor holding Sallis in check!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I mean, this is horrendous. It's garbage officiating all across the sport now.

 

[pisgah101]

I just caught up and holy crap why does the screen look so terrible!

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Let's keep the momentum. Come out strong and not let the crowd back into it. Let's go Duke

 

[BNM79]

It changes game to game and heck even within the game itself so no way to know. In a lot situations I think fouls are called or not in order to impact momentum. Would be interesting to see style of play compared to crews, network aired on, and even who the home team was.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Not a good start

 

[The_Only_Blue]

3 airballs To start
