I believe so as well.
Texas got physical with Duke and 'Nova will do the same like they did with UCLA.
'Nova has better scorers and all around shooters than Texas.
I just don't think this is a great matchup for Duke. They will have to be on fire from 3 to have any chance here.

I politefully disagree with you. I think Duke can beat Nova easier than Texas. Texas is arguablly better than Nova. This was a while ago so doesnt mean much but texas beat Nova already and Duke beat Texas. I feel Texas and Nova are similar teams so I would lean to Duke by 4 or 5. The reason the line is Duke-2 is to get money on both sides. I think it is where it should be and would take Duke minus the points.
Only thing that scares me is this being the sweet sixteen where Duke struggles but this year I just have a feeling they get the W. If they do win, they WILL be slaughtered by Pitt, Slaughtered! Unless the refs call every touch foul it could get ugly. Anyways, just my two cents, Go Duke. Good luck with your play

tex doesn't hit their FT, they can't shoot, and closing out games is hard for them....with all of that they still almost pulled off beating duke in front of their own fans.
tex beat nova in dec,..but that definitly is no measuring stick, as nova is still better then texas.
what duke fans need to worry about is their defense. nova certainly won't be throwing up bricks like texas
duke is going to have to try and bust the lane and play solid defense to win..
I don't know if they can do this vs nova

Duke INSIDE GAME is SOFT.
Texas didn't exploit it enough and missed FT's hurt them.
Duke took Abrams out of the mix because the PG and F(Mason) were not a threat to shoot outside of a layup which allowed Duke to sag into the lane..
Duke can't do this to Reynolds and can't sag because 'Nova will make them pay.
Not saying Duke can't win or even won't. Just think Duke is getting the slight point edge because more people tend to bet Duke.
