[Duke It Out]

I don't see Duke losing this one. They just can't. I don't know that they blow the roof off CIS though. I thought they would with the week long break but the spread makes me think otherwise. Duke is 9.5 point favorite but over 80%(at my sports book) of the dollars have been on Duke. I'd say Duke by less than 10.

I will say that in this scenario, after losing B2B games, that everyone in the world knows or at least expects Duke to bounce back so naturally most of the bets are on Duke.

Show, Sky and OAD. Someone caught you guys on camera when they announced Amile was playing tonight.

Hahaha! I wish I could jump around like that, Dad! But I definitely feel that way!

OFC

 

[QC Dukie]

Good lord, we get Bilas.

OFC

 

[DukeCE2006]

Good defense so far...now let's get some points.

 

[dukiejay]

Not a horrible start, but we're settling too much on offense. Have to be more aggressive.

 

[QC Dukie]

Bolden looking a little more active so far....let's go boys!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Bolden actually looks active.

 

[dbav]

I try to stay out of the game threads these days, but Bolden is working his *** off. Proud of that commitment. Keep it up big fella.

He looked great...the best I've seen him!

OFC

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Crazies still seem kinda quiet

 

[denverexpat]

Quite static on the offensive end - defense looks better

 

[DukeCorey21]

They need to start shootings better

 

[dbav]

I also really enjoy watching Giles rebound.

 

[wcu1113]

Tatum does not do much well, IYAM. Most underwhelmed I've been by a stud freshman in quite some time.

 

[dukiejay]

It's just really hard for us to score.

 

[DukeCE2006]

I don't get it though, where did our offense go?

 

[DukeCE2006]

We need some points from our big men, bad.

 

[denverexpat]

hard to see what we are trying to do at the O end....just seems like there is no plan. Taking bad shots too

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

We are taking tougher shots than he have too IMO

 

[DukeCorey21]

The offense just stinks

 

[chov1125]

Can we please run through an offensive set? All the way through? We are so eager to fire something up we are taking tough shot after tough shot

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

No movement on O, tough shots, no offensive rebounding. Not a good combo. Good energy. Don't need Miami getting good bounces I know that

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

This is hard to watch. Can't stay in front of people and we never throw the ball inside

 

[HeelzLover]

What's the deal with Kennard always scratching his head. Anyone know?

 

[NYBlueDevil]

How is it possible that we still look this discombobulated? Wow, we really struggle on both ends.

 

[chov1125]

I saw a lot of energy @ Louisville. I saw a lot of guys bouncing around. I see very little of that tonight

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

We're not playing with any confidence. It needs to change, if we're going to get a W.

OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Big flush for Bolden!

OFC

 

[denverexpat]

a great Defensive set with a 2-3 then we go back to man to man.....er why?

 

[skysdad]

What's the deal with Kennard always scratching his head. Anyone know?

It probably itches. Welcome to the board. Have fun. OFC

 

[sheyduke]

Gotta correct one area and it kinda slacks another but we look better.

 

[Jnood]

Think we'll see a reply, since the guy stumbled smacking Grayson in the face?

 

[germantondevil]

Well ESPN can dissect that trip now even though he was hit in the face someone will say something

 

[DukeCE2006]

Let's try throwing it down low and letting Bolden or Jefferson try to create.

On a side note, I see nothing out of Giles offensively, nothing. Will it ever come?

 

[QC Dukie]

What's the deal with Kennard always scratching his head. Anyone know?

Wondering why he has to go to class and the holes don't.

OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

Game thread use to be fun, all the negativity sux.
I'm out.

 

[tommyboy15_rivals]

What's the deal with Kennard always scratching his head. Anyone know?

He's going bald and is constantly making sure he's got full coverage.

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

We're bad. I mean bad. No confidence

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Somebody throw the ball inside. Please
