Duke vs IU

[SacramentoKat]

Anyone watched the pigs play this year? Plus 8.5 at home looks good if they are worth a fook.

The only winners in this matchup are those who don't watch it.

Duke by about fitty. Bet everything you have.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Hoping that Duke crushes them. The good part, if IU pulls off the upset of the century, it's even better.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Blueisbest]

Duke wins easily. Even at home, the Hoosiers are hot garbage.

 

[dbmhoosier]

ESPN matchup predictor has IU with a 42% chance on winning. I say way too high. Duke by 15 unfortunately.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

The only question you have to ask yourself is: Is Duke as good as Indiana State?

 

[Fitch44]

Bagley will be Bagley, but if IU hits a ton of 3’s and Allen/Trent are off they might be able to hang around.
This could be an atmosphere where Gracie does a “Gracie” thing.

Duke will beat them into a pulp. Dude that lost last night on UofL needs to bet his account on Duke to make it back.

Wow, that's much higher than I thought it would be.

Line is -9 right now. Lot of points to give up in that gym. Duke has won but had struggles. Tough one.

 

[SacramentoKat]

Im putting a small wager on IU to cover. Going bigger on UNC to blow out Michigan.

 

[rick64]

If IU gets the whistle like they got when UK went there last time, they might have a chance.

 

[SacramentoKat]

Ima take IU but waiting for the line to move to 9.5 or 10. 80%of the money is on the Duke side.

 

[CATFanINChampaign]

Real question is if IU wins will they print phone book covers or popcorn boxes?

We played awful but ISU shot 66% from 3 and made 17 of them. Almost all were contested too. They would've beaten all but a handful of teams that night.

 

[Double Oaked Juice]

I'm honestly surprised that K sacked up and agreed to play the Candy Cane Men in Assembly Hall.

Having said that, Duke -8.5 seems like a pretty good bargain. Kenpom has Duke by 18 on a neutral floor so you'd figure -13 or -14 in a road environment.

"Surprisingly, Duke is only shooting 34.1-percent from behind the arc. The Indiana Hoosiers are fifth-worst in the NCAA in terms of three-point defense, allowing opponents to shoot 44.8-percent.

Duke has grabbed 369 total rebounds, the most by any team in the NCAA this season. The Blue Devils are averaging 46 rebound per game, seventh best in the NCAA which makes it safe they are among the elite level rebounding teams."

I know nothing about IU this year? Who is their best player(s)?

 

[Stonewall12]

I hope Indiana beats them

 

[kyups01]

Duke has big marvelous Marvin Bagley...they would beat the Golden State Warriors....and u even need to ask about them playing Indiana? What the hell are you on anyway, son?

 

[dbmhoosier]

Hartman, Morgan, and Johnson are pretty good. You probably remember them as they were big in that round of 32 game for us. Devonte Greene and Deron Davis are decent.

 

[Ben101er]

Puke by double digits, over 20 would be my guess.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Unfortunately one has to win. I'd expect Duke to kick the corn out of indianer

You sir, have won this thread.

 

[bigblue1971]

I'm for UK and any other team in the Universe that's playing Duke or UNC.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

If IU wins ESPN will close for a week of mourning.

 

[On-On-UK_rivals45415]

I hope Indiana wins.
Maybe they'll print some new popcorn boxes...

Over / under on Duke threads tonite??

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

If I gambled I'd take Duke and give the points

Agreed, i changed my mind after seeing pomroy. Im on unc and duke 2night

 

[SemperFiCat]

Duke is so lucky Langford isn't there yet.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Agreed, i changed my mind after seeing pomroy. Im on unc and duke 2night

So are you locked in on a Duke Sacramento? I need to know if it is safe to get some money down on Indiana.

So nice to have you back. Hated it when you were on your hiatus a couple of seasons ago.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Hoosiers hanging tough. Unreal environment.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I'd kill someone to see Indiana somehow win tonight

 

[Blueblood410]

Did Grayson try to trip someone a few possessions ago?

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Patiently waiting for "the shot" highlights when Indiana last knocked off a number 1 team there
