Duke- Do Cards Stand a Chance?

[shadow force]

I'm thinking most Cards fans aren't counting on a win against Duke on Sunday. They have a lot of talent and size that should make for tough matchups for our team.

Any thoughts on this upcoming game?

Just that the Cards have a puncher’s chance. Do we shoot the three at 35% or higher? If yes, we should be competitive. Looking for a better effort on the defensive end than we saw against Ole Miss.

We would have to make 10+ 3's just to be competitive. I see very little chance, but if I were a Stanford football fan, I would have said the same thing about playing Louisville.

Duke 78
Louisville 63

If we make our 3’s we have a chance against anybody.

There's always a chance.. just don't want to get blown out of our own gym for the 3rd time this season. Hoping to win but a loss under 10 points wouldn't be terrible.

we're competitive enough and there will be enough people there that the opponent will be locked in and ready. Unlike last year, when we were a laughingstock.

We just have trouble getting good shots because our offense is so much about beating people off the dribble and we have trouble doing that against elite talent. Positive emotion only takes you so far.

But I'll be there. Keep pushing!

Go Cards!!

hope we take less three pointers this game. game will be over if we take 30 of them. Duke is fast and will leak out for easy buckets on missed 3 point shots.

Cards will have to hit 3s to have a chance to stay in this one. Not sure on the exact number or anything but the abysmal shooting won't get it done. Not sure how else they can score enough to win without a legit big man scoring threat inside.
