Duke (-22) vs UVA

The blue devils beat UVA by 22 in Va a few weeks ago. The reason I like this play is because of the same reason a lot of people hate coach K, he keeps his starters in almost the whole game regardless of the score.

In Cameron Duke continues to play hard even with a huge lead because the fans go insane for it. Like watching a lion play with its food. As the lead gets bigger the fans get crazier to see Ewing steal it and throw down, reddick take a three from 30ft away, Deng that the ally-op, and Duhan drive the lane.

I look at the clemson game as an indicator of how the score is going to be. In Clemson Duke won by 19, but in Camron Duke won by 26. If the Blue Devils beat UVA by 22 in VA I see them winning by 25 tonight.

Does anyone know why the line is so IMO low in the Texas A&M / Neb (-3) game? Didn't A&M just lose to Baylor?:shrug:

Yes they just lost in baylor but plays everybody close at home. Nebraska is a totally different team on the road, I think the line is very close. A&M beat NU in Lincoln last year as well.

Thanks Howie

IMO Duke isn't a look ahead team. I think Coack K has his teams focused for everyone from UNC to Fairfield. But thats why they play the game! UVA plays pretty sloppy and with losses @UNC by 19, @ GT by 18, @ NC State by 17 and @ Wake by 13 it should be a cover. Also UVA is best in the paint Deng and Williams have to play tough, which IMO they can.

CROWD ENERGY!!!!
However, Duke's student section wasn't filled up by the Cameron Crazies in Sunday's 81-58 home win over Clemson
"I don't know what to do exactly, but I'm going to try to do something because (the environment) needs to be better," Krzyzewski said. "We shouldn't have empty seats. How can we have empty seats at Cameron?" - - coach Mike Krzyzewski

Coack K is calling out the fans...I think they will be out in full force tonight!!

I was looking over the St. Joes game and GL to your Flyers. I wouldn't be surprised if they do cover because the weakness of St. Joes in down low and even the head coach has said that. Finn could be a big difference maker. Harf to go against the guards of St. Joes though.
