I'm not playing college bb except on a spot basis until the sweet 16 round in the tournament,but I must admit to fascination at the very long string of overs a very public team like Duke has put together,I've read its 10 straight.They've plowed through several spots I considered good ones for this string to end with nothing but........more overs.Anyone feel todays game vs Miami can keep the result under the 145?Redick is likely to let down a touch after all the attention he's gotten the last few days for setting the three point record.Imput solicited from someone whos watched these two a lot this season......Thanks and good luck
Opinions on the Duke/Miami Total
- Thread starter edludes
- Start date
The problem with Duke games is if they get out to a big lead they sit on the ball the last five minutes of the game....
If a team pushes them the total busts with five minutes left in the game....
This season I've felt better about playing Duke totals over in the first half because they like to press and put up the threes and they give up a lot of points on the other end....there isn't a lot of wasted time in the first half but if they get that lead I mentioned in the first paragraph then there will be a lot of dribbling at the halfcourt watching the clock tick down....
I played the first half over 68.5 last night and seen it at 70.5 today.....currently at 70....
I think Duke gets their share and even reaches into the mid forties with Miami making up the difference....
Duke may blow them out the first half (line currently at -8.5)....but my play of the day is the first half over...

with redick needing 30 pts to become all time leading score for duke he already has 20 in game.i am a homer but he is pretty damn good . best white guard since jerry west, chris mullen or bill bradley
