Tonight's pretty simple - it's a must win IMO. Florida State is a decent team, but certainly one we should win on our home court. Matt is back but still no word at all on Amile. Every day that goes by I think puts us a day closer to a medical redshirt.

Back to today. I think after Saturday's emotional loss to Louisville this team will be ready to play - especially with the addition of Matty Ice to the team.

Game is slated for a 7pm est tip on ESPNHD.

Duke 83

Florida State 76

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

Ball movement will make this easier for us. FSU lacks awareness. We should exploit that. Thornton should be able to drive and dish at will.

Their all a lot of signs that he is close to returning. Duke Twitter account posted a picture of smoke right after practice with no boot drinking Gatorade. Kennard and plumee was asked by reporters when he will be back and they said they didn't know but he is working hard and physical during practice.

The long layoff should help the guys recover from any fatigue or injuries they had. I think we see Ingram come out and be focused to avenge the bad game he had Saturday. I think we pull away late

Duke - 82
FSU - 71

After a much needed rest and getting Jones back, we should be good to go at home. Hope to see the team come out with high energy.

Have to win to keep any hopes alive of getting the double-bye in the ACC Tournament. Also big to continue to build a resume that gets a good seed come tournament time.

Duke - 80
FSU - 72

I'm going to miss this one tonight. I'll be on a plane for Florida at the time. Hoping the guys can get it done in a game they should win. Two really huge, huge games in the next four days.

I don't care if it's a 1 point win we just need to win this game...just hope Thornton can continue to grow as he has been and Luke gets his stroke back and nails a few shots

This is a MUST win game (although they all are this time of year.)
Absolutely cannot picture us losing 3 Home ACC games.

I'd like to see Thornton take total control of the PG spot and not hoist any bad 20 foot jumpers. Also, need Chase to give us 5-10 good minutes. FSU has alot of talent, they seem to be spiraling out of control. No way they get their swagger back in Cameron.

really need this one. FSU worries me because of their guard play. Hopefully we play inspired D. Cant lose this one. Should be a fun game to watch

FSU certainly has the talent to spring the upset. With that said, they are entering this game on a 4 game losing stretch and really haven't done much outside of their own gym in the ACC. 3-5 on the road, with the wins being @BC, @Wake and @State, with losses by 9 to Clemson, 13 to Miami, 19 to Louisville, 13 to Syracuse, and 10 to Va Tech. If we're ready to play, this is a game we should win relatively easily.

I'll predict 83-73.

Every player comes out guns blazen', talking on "D", very confident, and the Cameron Crazies are out in full force! "K" and Staff know we need this one, the Team knows it, the Crazies know it, all of us know it, therefore I believe the BB Gods will be good to us. As long as we come out of this injury free, I don't care if we win by 1 or 100, Duke wins tonight at Cameron.
Go Duke!!

Amile plays tonight. Doesn't start, but comes off the bench and ignites the crazies......I'm calling it.
