[2017-18] South Dakota / St. Francis (PA) / at Boston College / Evansville

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke is favored by 15 points at Boston College. Kenpom has this by 11. Sagarin by 14. The loss of Hawkins should matter.

This is a game that Duke will win by 13 and none of us will be happy with the performance.

85-78 Duke. I expect them to score easily. I expect us to score a bit more.

 

[Devilsforlife]

I fully expect us to be losing with five minutes to play and wind up covering.

Duke + 10. 91-80.

A noon start for a road game is pretty brutal IMO.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Line down to 13.5. This makes sense to me. I’m pretty worried about this one.

They're rated 1 spot behind South Dakota on kenpom.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

South Dakota was like 140 two weeks ago. Impressive jump. They won by 30 after playing Duke and moved up another 20 spots as a result.

 

[aiw]

That was the game where the shitheads gave up 21 points in the last 5 minutes, right?

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Yes.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This will not be a bad loss, IMO. Let them stew about it and try to fix things for 3 weeks while only getting 1 game in the meantime. Avoid complacency. Frankly, I'll be indifferent to seeing them lose today.

This BC game was like a Greatest Hits compilation of the worst things Duke does, individually and collectively.

The rebounding in this game sank us (one of the many things). It shouldn't have been close and it was essentially even.
