game day! The big one! The one we wait for and tend to dread/enjoy just a little more. The rivalry to end all rivalries- it’s Duke vs Carolina. We are both ranked, we both had star power and we both want the bragging rights. I don’t expect this game to be as close as some, I have an eerie confident feeling which could be a bad thing since I felt this way when we played them in the final four!

Duke- 87
UNC-72

Duke wins if they can

1. Drive Inside. Stop chunking 3s
2. Play through Pat/Cam
3. CFos goes off
4. Dame has a good gamee

Duke - 77
UNC - 73

If one of the 4 don’t happen….

UNC - 83
Duke - 69

I don’t think Foster has to go off for us to win but he needs to be solid. Something like 8, 4, 3….

I do think UNC length could be an issue at times but not throughout the game.

Pat needs to avoid silly fouls and control his emotions.

We will win!

83-76

Fairly even match up with us having the edge. We seem to play good at their place. Might be harder coming back on them than some other recent teams. They would move up a line with a win and have a signature win. Stay out of foul trouble, solid guard play.
Duke by 8.

I don't like feeling confident coming into this game, but there it is. Cam will get his. It's about time for Evans to have himself a game, and this is the sort of game where he should thrive. I would not be shocked if we lost by 10, but I just think we have to play our game, especially on the defensive end, and we win this one and deflate the Dean Dome!

I'm not worried should that worry me? 2 years ago I watched the game with my family and we lost by nearly 20. The Flip team. With the good shooting guard I already forgot his name. He plays for the 76ers. This team has been winning despite some bad habits I don't think we can get away with that today.

You could be right Shey. But we have some wildcards in the mix too. Sarr, Harris, Khamenia and Cayden and even Foster have shown they can score at times. I do think one of that group stepping up would be HUGE!

I’m hoping this a scoring game for one of Khamenia, Sarr or Cayden .

The match ups and chess match nshould be good to watch. We need a balanced attack... Nik and Sarr get around 10 points and 5 boards, Foster and Cayden 10-15 points and 5 assists, Evans 15-20 points, Pat 10-15 points, Cam 20-25 points, Maliq 6-8 points. But at the end of the day....

Foul trouble already with the bigs. Evans is going to have to hit outside shots to keep us afloat for a bit.

going to have to roll the dice here soon with Cam and get him back in. He will calm everything down.

Cam’s second was not a smart move, and Maliq has to be smart guarding Wilson. He’s too good for Maliq to get away with all that poking at the ball. Play him straight up. He’s gonna score.

Now both have to be a little careful.

Boozer and Brown with 2 Big Pat with 3. If ever was a time for the sf spot to step up it’s now even though Sarr did not defend that three on a three point shooter .
