Duke-Boston College prediction thread

[rome8180]

Not much is changed, except that TS9, notorious homer, has joined the 5-point club.

Based on Sagarin, Duke should be favored by around 25, ftr.

My prediction is POSTPONED-SNOW.

 

[TS9]

Lotta factors at play here. I expect Duke to play with plenty of vigor for Capel, but perhaps not to shoot as well from 3 as they did against Georgia Tech. I also expect Boston College to be ass.

Appears Durham will get 6-9 inches of snow leading up to the tip-off. I assume North Carolina and Durham County are prepared to clear the roads and runways for Boston College. If not, though, when will they play this game? Maybe Duke only gets 17 ACC games this year, with the home game against Boston College left out.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke is a 24-point favorite over Boston College.

 

[niveklaen]

I predict that Bolden has a big game - 8+pts, 6+rbs, 3+blks

...and that Capel brings out a twin tower lineup with Frank, Luke, Allen, Giles, and Bolden.

I am curious where Vrank falls in Capel's rotation. Capel played Vrank last year in a real live competitive ACC basketball game.

Don't worry. They will reschedule it to wherever screws us the most. Probably the day before the road UNC game.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Line is up to 26.5. Probably because BC will be spending hours stuck somewhere cold before the game.

Duke will cancel the game because of their concern that their players could get injured walking from their dorms.

 

[aiw]

Hahaha. I talked about that at work today. I told someone they would play the game if the coaches, refs, and players could get to the game regardless of the fans getting there. I told him I was worried about Giles/Tatum/Bolden/Jefferson breaking their legs walking to Cameron tomorrow.

 

[skins]

Roads are pretty shit right now. Hopefully BC can parachute into Cameron tomorrow.

 

[DukeNukem05]

Looks like this is happening.

 

[aiw]

Yup. 2nd home game in 7 seasons that I'm missing. Sad.

 

[DukeNukem05]

I'll pull some of my hair out and represent you in here.

 

[aiw]

Thanks, bro.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Great, this isn't on ESPN so I guess I'll have to find a sketchy stream from Macedonia or something.

 

[DukeNukem05]

Should be an upcoming event on WatchESPN as an ACC Network broadcast.

Fox Sports South, too
