Play smart and don't get into foul trouble. Dumb fouls will be the only thing that will get us into trouble especially if Pat doesn't play.

Let's go Duke! GTHC

Duke should win by 40 but it’s Duke and the refs want TV time and to cover the spread for the bets in Vegas.

Duke - 82
UNC - 71

I hate to see any player in any sport hurt and out for the season. That really stinks. Hope Wilson heals fully and is drafted #2 behind Boozer!

I don’t like how confident I am, but I am. It’s the biggest rivalry in college sports! I expect Duke to come out a little tight and pull away in the second. Sarr and Brown will shut down their perimeter players. At home I expect our three point shooting to be solid. Evan’s has been scoring well and Foster has been solid. It would be amazing to throttle them early and coast to a 25 point win, but I expect a battle in the first half.

No injuries for the regular season ACC champs and a solid win is all I want.

Duke 78
UNC 61

Sore foot is much better than tweaking it in practice. My best guess is he doesn’t play today but purely precautionary. As long as he’s 100% for our first round game- it is what it is. Still a game tonight Duke should win, but I have a tough time believing it’s going to be a game they run away with.

I think three point shooting is going to be a major factor. If our guys are seeing a big rim it’s gonna be huge. I don’t think it happens but if UNC somehow hits at an otherworldly clip it could be a bigger challenge

I think at home we dominate.

Definitely was a flagrant foul when Brown scored. Man, I love Sarr’s D, but that kid is sketchy as heck if he has to do any dribbling.

Malik Brown is one of my all time favorite Duke players. He is so uncanny.

He reminds me a bit of Dennis Rodman. Can guard all five positions.

Ragged play letting the Cheats make a run. Need more poise on both ends and from the bench

A few guys are going to have to step up. Hope I’m wrong, but it doesn’t look good for Foster to return. I know we all love Brown’s knack for knocking the ball away from guys, but he picked up his 2nd foul doing that. He has to be smart since Ngongba is out.
