[2017-18] FSU / at NC State / at Pitt / Wake / at Miami

[TS9]

It's sad to be at the point that I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win this game, but here we are.

As mentioned in the podcast - if there is limited contribution from the bench during the 1st half, Duke may be in trouble down the stretch in the 2nd half.

Pitt will probably roll out some junk defensive scheme to make things weird

@DukeNukem05 can clear damn near a quarter million e-cash if he stakes it all on the Pittsburgh 40/1 ML

That’s so fucking tempting.

My boy @Steev going all in.

I have no idea how to bet this game. I think Duke wins by a lot, like 30-40 points, and has no mercy toward the end. K needs his 5.5-man rotation getting as many defensive possessions as possible. However, I also think Duke sucks.

@DurhamSon You should change the sportsbook lines so it's @Pitt instead of @Duke.

 

[DurhamSon]

Holy shit, this game is *at* Pitt? I just assumed by the line that it must be in Durham. Goddamn

 

[DurhamSon]

What's the line when they come to Durham, Duke by 30? How can an AD tolerate a power conference school being less competitive in a revenue sport than dogshit low majors?

 

[TS9]

I think Duke wins by 18ish and does so in mostly uninspiring fashion. Wagered my TDF bitdollars accordingly.

 

[rome8180]

If this game was at Cameron, I'd be 100% confident Duke covers. I expect real effort tonight for the first time in a while. Effort will obscure the defensive issues for a game or two.

 

[CMon85]

Absolutely no way duke covers this line.

 

[physicsfactor]

This should be a hell of a game. Pitt has had by far the worst offense in conference play, and Duke the same defensively. If there's any hope of Duke holding a conference foe under 1ppp, this is it.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I can't imagine watching this game will make my already shitty day any shittier, but this is 2018 Duke basketball - if it can be done, they're the team to do it.

I think I'll wuss out and just watch a replay tomorrow, but I'll probably lurk in chat to see how you guys are holding up.

 

[rome8180]

Definitely continuing with my binge rewatch of Battlestar Galactica instead.

That’s so fucking tempting.

Don't tempt him with a good time.

 

[bdotling]

Lol bunch of no faith cucks. Where’s Axe when you need him

 

[aiw]

We should invite this guy here. He's the scacc hoops guy.

Show consistent D in 2nd half; even if opponent is weak.

Good man to man in 1st against wildly incompetent offense. Shaky 2nd half until zone applied.

They leave that FT area in the zone open every time. One of the top defenders needs to drop into that area to break it up.
