We enter Saturdays showdown in what has the potential to be the game of the year. We are a rare 2.5 underdog but make no mistake Duke is never the underdog. This game means a lot, the overall number 1 seed is likely up for grabs and most likely the number 1 ranking on Monday. I expect us to come out and play well, I just wish it was on CBS- I’m so over Dan and Jay 🤮

Duke- 84
Michigan-81

As long as Pat can stay out of foul trouble, Evans make some three's and make them play in the half court we can keep it close and maybe pull out a win.

Let's go Duke

Driving there now and we are undefeated with me in attendance lol.

I have no idea what to expect but even with a loss, this game doesn’t hurt our seeding unless we get blown out but I don’t see that. If Caleb or Cayden gives us a performance tonight, we win.and as @pisgah101 says- Duke is NEVER the underdog. LFG!

Michigan by 5 +. Want to pick Duke but after seeing them play they are well matched up with Duke and their bench scores as well. Pat , Brown and Sarr are going to have their hand’s full on defense and I can see Boozer and Pat in foul trouble early .
Duke to win will have to get into their passing lanes and stop their big Lendeborg from passing out to the perimeter ( although I would think May wants Boozer in foul trouble early to take away his scoring and passing ).
Duke needs more from every player not named Cameron to win . Cadeau against Cayden and Foster will be interesting .

Definitely has the feel of an elite eight or final four match up. When Michigan hits their 3s they have blown some good teams out but I don't see that happening. I think it will be close. Pat being in foul trouble is our x factor. Foster and Evans need to play well. Do those 3 things and I think we can win. If little Boozer can ball out against this team that bodes well for March.

Duke puts the rest of Men's College Basketball on notice Tonight. One of Duke's Achilles heels this season has been the poor 3 Point Defense. It seems to be improving recently. Coach Scheyer and Staff are Smart and will shut down Michigan's 3 Point Shooting tonight imo. It will be a Balanced Team Win, as dukesince91 stated above The Blue Devils are Peaking at the Right Time.

Duke - 77
Michigan - 70

Let's Go Duke!

Looks like Arizona is going to beat Houston. Second straight loss for Houston who was ranked #2. Arizona was ranked #4. #5 UConn also lost this week. Would I be safe to assume that if we lose, the worst we would stay ranked is #3? Obviously if we win we'll be #1 then Michigan 2 and Arizona 3?

the offense has stalled..this is when we need specific plays and a PG who can drive and finish. Lets hope JS can shine in a close game
