blood bath… plain and simple

Duke-92
UNC-56

Duke by 18. Depends if Pat plays. Wilson is out for the year. No way Duke should lose this game.

 

[The Only Blue]

Play smart and don't get into foul trouble. Dumb fouls will be the only thing that will get us into trouble especially if Pat doesn't play.

Let's go Duke! GTHC

 

[christophero]

If Pat is out Boozer and Brown are our only bigs.

 

[The Only Blue]

If Pat is out Boozer and Brown are our only bigs.

Yup and Veesaar will be able to dominate the post like the first game

 

[JimboSlice00]

Was thinking a 10-12 point type of win before the Pat news.

 

[Mac9192]

Veesar will get put in foul trouble by Boozer. This is going to be a beating the holes haven’t had in a while. Cameron Indoor will be rocking.

 

[Dad2ze]

Duke should win by 40 but it’s Duke and the refs want TV time and to cover the spread for the bets in Vegas.

Duke - 82
UNC - 71

 

[JustAfanatic]

We wil win but not sure it’ll be a beat down like many suspect.

I mean it is Duke/Carolina…. And they have more than Wilson,

Duke 81
UNC. 70

 

[AlanInNJ1]

I hate to see any player in any sport hurt and out for the season. That really stinks. Hope Wilson heals fully and is drafted #2 behind Boozer!

I don’t like how confident I am, but I am. It’s the biggest rivalry in college sports! I expect Duke to come out a little tight and pull away in the second. Sarr and Brown will shut down their perimeter players. At home I expect our three point shooting to be solid. Evan’s has been scoring well and Foster has been solid. It would be amazing to throttle them early and coast to a 25 point win, but I expect a battle in the first half.

No injuries for the regular season ACC champs and a solid win is all I want.

Duke 78
UNC 61

DBR reported that Pat has a "sore foot" and is a gametime decision.

 

[The Only Blue]

DBR reported that Pat has a "sore foot" and is a gametime decision.

Yup.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Sore foot is much better than tweaking it in practice. My best guess is he doesn’t play today but purely precautionary. As long as he’s 100% for our first round game- it is what it is. Still a game tonight Duke should win, but I have a tough time believing it’s going to be a game they run away with.

 

[christophero]

Pat still has one healthy limb.

 

[bullcitygamer]

Duke is Winning by 20+ points tonight.

heels have been horrible on the road all season. That doesn’t change tonight.

 

[sheyduke]

Duke by ten plus . If you think Scheyer hasn’t been hyping all week about them storming the court on Duke and the things that followed from it . Leave no doubt . Time for Nic and Harris to step up .

 

[AlanInNJ1]

I think three point shooting is going to be a major factor. If our guys are seeing a big rim it’s gonna be huge. I don’t think it happens but if UNC somehow hits at an otherworldly clip it could be a bigger challenge

I think at home we dominate.

Pat not in the starting lineup

 

[JimboSlice00]

How was that not a flagrant foul?

 

[MrScary13]

How was that not a flagrant foul?

The people on here making these predictions are severely underestimating the calls that NC get every time these two play.....

 

[Mac9192]

Definitely was a flagrant foul when Brown scored. Man, I love Sarr’s D, but that kid is sketchy as heck if he has to do any dribbling.

 

[youngman42]

Malik Brown is one of my all time favorite Duke players. He is so uncanny.

He reminds me a bit of Dennis Rodman. Can guard all five positions.

GTHC

 

[The Only Blue]

Welp whatever advantage we had is gone with Pat out and Foster not looking too good right now smh

 

[denverexpat]

Ragged play letting the Cheats make a run. Need more poise on both ends and from the bench

 

[JimboSlice00]

Something in my gut tells me Caleb is legit hurt. Hope I’m just overreacting

 

[AlanInNJ1]

Weak finish to the half. First five mins of the second will be big.

 

[The Only Blue]

Bad last minute there. No Boozer box out and him shooting with 4 second left.

 

[sheyduke]

Got to play to our talent . Thought UNC played well but Duke is the better team .

 

[The Only Blue]

Anyone know if we had a use it or lose it timeout at the end?

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

I'm just worried about Caleb.

 

[Mac9192]

A few guys are going to have to step up. Hope I’m wrong, but it doesn’t look good for Foster to return. I know we all love Brown’s knack for knocking the ball away from guys, but he picked up his 2nd foul doing that. He has to be smart since Ngongba is out.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Pat is in a walking boot.

 

[JimboSlice00]

We all know what a foot injury means when someone isn’t coming out of the locker room.

Changes the rest of our season. Sucks

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Dan and Jay are insufferable

 

[Lake Norman Dawg]

Always

No Foster, no shot of winning in April, it's that simple.
