I don't expect a win at Duke, especially this year, just hope the Cards can keep it close. But so far, this ain't your Coach Ks Duke.

Duke has not lost at home all year. They have several strange and surprisingly lopsided losses this season. The NC State loss was rough. Cards big men will need to be ready to play in this game. Duke’s Freshman big guy is really good.

A little surprised to see Duke as a 19 point favorite. Cards are carrying what appears to be some momentum and confidence into a tough environment. Will be watching to see how the Cards look coming off an emotionally charged weekend. Does Ellis keep it rolling? JJ?
 
I’ll take the Cards and those 19 points!
It is tempting. I've bet on 3 Card games this year (which I never do) once on the Cards 2 against. I lost all 3 and now I'm down $300. I'm thinking about putting $300 on the Cards tonight to try to get back to even..

I probably should just cut my losses and stay put. I'll be a GameDay decision..

i hope KP will sit Curry. and let BHH start. everyone knows how to exploit Curry. move the ball so Curry has to guard the 3 point line. it is an easy bucket.

on offense, Curry will lower his shoulder and charge. or foul him since he can't shoot free throws.

Good call especially tonight with Duke’s big guy. He’s good. Teams are exploiting Curry a lot and I fully expect Duke to try and do the same. Curry has so much potential. I don’t think anyone saw this type of drop off coming.

Some movement between 18 and 19. Opened at 19.5/20. Ellis has been rolling and several of the guys look very confident. Will need that confidence and shot making tonight. The defense overall is still suspect at best.

Duke has been inconsistent but when they are on and locked in, they look really good.

It just feels like a natural letdown game in a tough environment against a step up in competition coming off big emotional win. Ellis has been playing confident averaging 27 over the last 3 though. If the Cards keep this around 10 points or closer most of the game, they will have played a solid game in a tough environment.

It’s hard for me to trust the numbers and what I’m seeing. I think the Cards are playing well enough and Duke is inconsistent enough on offense to allow the Cards to cover.
