Duke is -2.5 for anyone curious. I love that this team is being put thru the fire....they will only be hardened from it in the long run. Learn that adversity is inevitable and you have to just figure it out and get right back up.


MSU is -2 vs the holes but I think unc pulls it out. Playing decent right now.

Go Devils!

Florida could potentially be the best team in the country. These guys have so many weapons and can rain 3s on anyone. Our 3 point defense has been questionable at best, and White has UF super confident and disciplined. They have an insanely strong offense. However, Bags and Carter will wreak havoc on their interior. If we take away the 3, we win by double digits....if they are hitting them and we do our usual slow start, we’ll get blown out.

I’m nervous but excited. Let’s go Duke!

The comments say more than I could...
Agree that Duke loses 81-76. ESPN gets a full night of highlights and we cruise until early February. I’m very afraid of this team mirroring 2015 ky. I HATE ky.

I believe keeping the Rice transfer Egor in check will be a big factor today. He can go off hitting 5-5 threes like he did vs Stanford or he can go 1-6.
Florida will try to speed up Duke .Just hope Duval is patient and keeps feeding the post.Don’t see Bolden getting a lot of minutes today .
Alex and Anthony will be needed to play D on those quick guards. I know Va Tech was sad to see Hudson transfer. With his size he has a good chance to make it in the NBA.
This will be a good test for the Duke zone.

Msu should be able to get UNCheat into foul trouble with their bigs, but I do question Sparty's PG play....

I'm scared, Florida is pretty good offensively, we really cannot afford a slow start against them. Trevon needs to realize he's a PG and start playing team ball. We need to see some defensive effort for 40 minutes (or longer).

Trevon had one selfish game. Let’s be calm. He has been running the team great so far. He’s easily our best perimeter defender as well. I think because we were struggling he wanted to take the game in his hands and help us win. Kind of like he did against Portland state. He made some bad decisions because he was pressing. I can recall a couple games already that he bailed us out

I think Izzo's obsession to beat Duke/UNC pays off finally tonite and they beat UNC . Devils will eventually lose, but not tonite- too much confidence they gained in their comback vs Texas.

OFC

Roy owns Izzo almost as much as K, but surely the streak has to end somewhere...right? Maybe it's tonight...I hope so...but I wouldn't bet any money on it!

Losing Hudson was a big blow. He would have been a key player season and this season paired with some nice talent. He’s a special player and leaving he and Egor alone would be a mistake.

Late games are tough on old farts but I'm going to tough it out. May try napping this afternoon but problem is I nap anyway. Would love to see the tar heels go down before hand but it will probably go 4 overtimes and they win with the all going in the basket off luke bird's head. Then Duke will get a twelve o'clock start.
