I think it's pretty easy to claim this is the biggest game of the season for Duke up to this point considering everything that has happened. We already have some quality wins over Indiana, Georgetown and VCU but we haven't beaten a ranked opponent yet.
Today definitely concerns me - mostly on the defensive end of the floor. When we go man, we can't keep anybody in front of us and it allows teams to penetrate and have their way in the paint. When we go zone, containment is better but we really start to struggle on the boards and giving up week-side offensive boards. I'm sure you'll see a mix of both again tonight but it needs to be better than it has been or Louisville will kill us on the boards.
Game is slated for a 7pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD.
I've never picked against Duke and I won't start now but it's going to be tough!!!
Duke 69
Louisville 66
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
