This all depends on Jah. If he plays and is effective, Duke wins easily. If he doesn't play or can't play much, this will be very tight. I can't make a prediction without this knowledge.
I think we win with or without Jah, but Amile better dust off his center skills, because although I would like to see MP3 come through, I think he can be drawn away from the basket and get into foul trouble.
With Jah, Duke 88, Clemson 69
Without Jah, Duke 74, Clemson 70.

Clemson lost to Louisville by 6, ND by 2, and beat Syracuse by 13 and went to NCST and beat them by 11. With or without Okafor, unless we wax hot, this will be a struggle. Hope we come down to earth after our big win Wed., if not, we will be brought back to reality!!
Really greatful that this is at Cameron, and that gives Duke the nod.
Go Duke!!

My prediction for this one, bad. We may win but we are going to look horrible. The emotional Fire tank is very low after a huge OT win over the Holes. Posters here will say we stink, will probably lose first round, yadda yadda yadda. Then we win the ACC TOURNAMENT.
This one is a tough game to pick. On the one hand, I think we are going to be emotionally drained after Wednesday night. And if Jah doesn't play that will be an even bigger drop I would think. On the other hand, we could see a firestorm from the 7 remaining guys if he doesn't play. So, who knows? I do expect the team to be tired and play that way especially in the first half. Look for a half-time score of 28-34 us and 24-28 them, or something like that. I figure we come out guns blazing in the second half. Ratchet up the intensity on both ends and pull away. Fouls are going to be huge, as well as foul shots. Hopefully our guards shoot more free throws today. As always, I predict a Duke victory though. LET"S GO DUKE!!!!!

I don't like using the phrase "trap game" but if I were going to, it would be today's game. Still, I'll take Duke at home

No Jahlil. I like this move, let him heal up a bit. Marshall will get some valuable minutes but this will be a pretty tough game. Really need Cameron to rock for this one.
Oh boy, I didn't like the sound of Jah in tears knowing he wasn't going to play!! Sounds like there is some severe pain yet.
I think that was more because he was upset because he wanted to play and he wasn't going to be able to be out there on the court with his teammates.
