Going to take Duke 1st half and game.
Duke has been top 5 in nation all year. Kind of a weird year, b/c they have overachieved a lot, gotten benefit of refs a lot, then the last couple weeks refs have made sure they didn't get calls and overcompensated. Redick been struggling last couple weeks.
On the other hand. Wake SUCKS. This team quit a lot this year. They have looked good last 3 games. 2 were against State. First one, they won by 13 and two of State's players were out. Yesterday, against State, Wolfpack just laid down and died. State looked like they didn't care. They had huge matchup problems. No one to even try and guard Williams. No adjustments. No heart. State couldn't get a def. rebound. No hustle.
Anyway, I think Duke rolls today. Shelden can handle E.Williams, where State had no one. Redick can easily get hot. If Shelden and Redick get going then that leaves the role players open.
Don't be fooled by this Wake team. When they get down they will quit. They are tired, played Thurs and Fri. Duke by 15-20.
