Will Duke Go Undefeated???

[Destructor D]

This was mentioned during last night's game and Duke doesn't play another team currently ranked this season. I know running the table is difficult, but the ACC appears to be way down and this Duke team might have all the parts and pieces to make it happen.

If I could find +500 odds, I would jump on it. If I was making the odds:

Duke go undefeated: Yes +300 No -400

Thoughts?

Playing 6 on 5 every game i am sure they have a great shot. They were outplayed in almost every phase of the game last night. They were outshot both fg and 3pt. They were outrebounded. Michgan St had more assists. The only categorey Duke won is they had 15 turnovers and michst 20 and they shot better from the line.

Mich St had to foul at the end they were down, but Duke still had a 2-1 free throw advantage before that happened.

22 to 6 point differential off turnovers in first half for duke is being outplayed? 6 on 5 means you are counting vitale for duke?

Lowell that stat is way overrated. The turnover were 20-15 not a big edge. All the points off turnovers means is duke scored off of michigan states turnovers and Michigan St did not score off of dukes turnovers. Look at the fastbreak points 8-6 state so its not like duke stole the ball in went for layups. They still had to run the offense and score. So the 28-14 stats means nothing unless duke had a huge turnover or fastbreak margin. So like I said duke had a slight edge in turnovers and that is really it. Sure they scored off the turnovers is Michigan State but its not like the steals led to easy buckets.

Points in the Paint 36-30 state
Points off turnovers 28-14 duke
2nd chance points 18-7 state
Fast break 8-6 state
bench 25-9 state
rebounding 37-31 state
off rebounds 16-11 state
fg 31-25 state
3pt 9-7 state
throws 27-8 duke:0074
