[2017-18] Louisville, Syracuse, at VT, UNC

[DurhamSon]

Bet that settles in around -5

 

[DrKlahn]

boy that's a sucker line, they must really love Duke

 

[TS9]

-7.5 seems hilariously high

 

[LastHearth]

Most computer models have Duke winning by 7 or more.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

I don’t think it settles at 5. I think 6.5 ish probably but not lower

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

It's clear to insiders that a major shift in Duval's minutes and usage/utilization are going to begin with this game, because for this not to be true, K would need to be incompetent. By simply not playing Duval, the line would be 1-2 points further in Duke's favor than it otherwise would be.

 

[DurhamSon]

Line's already down to -6.5 in some books

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Kenpom has it at 7, but bettors feel silly giving that much in a rivalry game like this. I still think it hangs around 6.5 by gametime.

 

[aiw]

This Marty Smith ESPN guy they have at Gameday is horrible.

 

[aiw]

A senior hit the half court shot on gameday for $18,000. Bilas says it’s ok for a student, but if you gave that to a player, it’s a federal crime.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Jay's reason for being is to suck all the joy out of every event.

 

[Inveigle]

It is going to be L-O-U-D in Cameron tonight! GTHC

 

[Devilsforlife]

Watching Baylor-Kansas State on ESPN and I saw a weird graphic on the ticker. According to "ESPN BPI", Duke has a 99% chance of being a 1-seed in the tournament if they beat UNC. Typical ESPN bullshit probably, or maybe they have wiretaps of the committee discussing Duke's seeding prospects on a conference call.

 

[aiw]

They showed that on gameday this morning

Duke hasn't been #1 on the Big Penis Index since Justise was in school

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Line has crept up to 8 at some places. Mostly 7.5. Word must be getting around that the Duval experiments are over.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Half the books have the line at 8 now. People expect Coach K to put his players in the best position to win tonight, for the first time this season.

 

[Thain]

That line has to be because they expect Grayson to go nuts on senior night.

 

[DukeNukem05]

Never in doubt.

He went nuts all right.
