Gotta find a way to win, period. Not a must win - but it's close. Home game, against a "pretty good" Clemson team, that would probably be the biggest win of the year - gotta find a way.

I hear all the talk on here about Duke not making the big dance this year - remember down the road, when this game helped us turn the corner.

We forget at times who we have guiding this ship. Doubters gonna doubt - but that's when the great ones shine and coaching can get you over the top. If we can finish the conference season at least .500, and win a game in the ACC tourney, we'll get in.

Today's game is slated to tip at 12pm est and will air on ESPN 2. As of almost 2am on gameday, Duke is favored by five points - which I love.

Duke 74

Clemson 66

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We make it 2 in a row!! All our games now are must wins if we want to make the tournament. If we can get a good start and play sound defense, we should win! GO DUKE!!!

Agreed! Good starts an ESSENTIAL for this Duke team!! Be nice to get two games over .500. Really almost need to win out, but cant look past any one game. Its Clemson day, and lets get 'em . Hope to see continued development from Mark Williams!

Ride the momentum of how the last game ended with some big stops and timely baskets.
Mark Williams gets more confidence today as well

Duke - 75
Clemson - 70

Difficult one, which is all of them from here on in I think, if we can get that third scorer again we should be fine. Need more composed PG play and some defense on Clemsons PG's. I think confidence carries the day and we win by 6-8pts

Kind of a must win for our tournament chances after the 3 game skid. I think/hope we get it done in a grinder. Duke 72-Clemson 71.

we look so much better with a post player in the line up. Still no penetration from the guards but more fluidity to the offense

Mark looks sooooo good today. Bakers looked good too, he needs more burn to get his confidence up. Hope he plays more

It’s amazing how much better this team looks when it runs an offense. We need to play in this manner consistently. You could see a few plays where they revert to some dumb solo ball ie that Matthew hurt 3 but for the most part they’re playing as a team. It’s the only way they can have a good season imo

Williams looking more and more confident with each game - he is going to be a beast one day once he completely figures it out

Very good first half for the whole team. Williams is big key in what we can do for the rest of the year! If we can get a strong 2nd half start, this game is ours!!!
