So what's everyone thinking about the game? I think UNC guards could be a problem, especially if they get hot from 3 like NS State did. However, I think our guards, particularly Sion and Proctor should give them fits with their length and strength. We have the clear advantage in the frontcourt, and I don't think they have anyone who can contain Cooper. As much as I would love to see a curb stomp, I think it's going to be a scrappy game that is tight most of the way with Duke pulling away in the final 10 minutes.
I'm thinking the same. It's going to be our defense vs their 3 point shooting. If we make our 3's, I think we curb stomp them.
I think if we have Brown back and he is 100% healthy, we could destroy them. Brown's ability to switch out onto their guards would bring a lot of trouble for them as they won't be able to make us pay inside.
I'm hearing Brown could play, but who knows if he will be 100% or fully conditioned. So without a lot of optimism, I think it's a fairly close game as they get hot from 3 but can't stop us much from scoring. We pull away in the 2nd half and win by 12-14.
Their chance in winning lies in hitting a lot of 3's. This reminds me a little of our 2016 (Brandon Ingram) season. We had no business beating them, but did.
Jon Scheyer told reporters that Maliq Brown (knee) could return for Duke's game on Saturday against North Carolina.
