***DUKE VS NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

Does this game even need a lead in? We look forward, as fans, to the guaranteed two games we get against the Heels more than any other game, all year.

This is a rivalry game. A rivalry that never disappoints and almost always comes down to the final minutes - tonight’s game isn’t likely to be any different.

We currently sit as a -9 favorite - which I think is a lot, despite being at Cameron. That will be tough to cover. I think we win but in a close ball game.

Tonight’s game is slated for a 9pm est tip and will air on the ESPN network (you can choose the way you want to view tonignts game).

Shootout until the end. Blown assists galore.

I now have one concern about this game. Big Luke Maye's caterpillars will finally turn into butterflies and Zion will be struck by the beauty of it all and be completely taken out of his game.

Anyway...LET'S GO DUKE!

[AlanInNJ]

I have been waiting for that one big, monster, exclamation point, posterizing dunk by Zion. The dunk on the UVA center was good, but I want to see something special tonight vs UNC!

I expect a great game with us pulling away just a little at the end.

Same here! I'm hoping Zion dunks all over Luke Maye or Nassir tonight.

 

[Liftee]

Most scenarios favor Duke, but if Carolina shoots like it did against Wake, and manages to keep RJ and Zion out of the paint with a zone or packed in man to man defense, it could be a nail biter. Hey guys, hit a few 3s tonight, OK?

 

[Mac9192]

Contain White and Johnson, and rebound the ball. We're going to do these things tonight and I think we win by 13.

 

[HonkeyT]

Just win, Dukies!

 

[bullettoothtony]

Rebound, rebound, rebound. Was it last year in one of the games they outrebounded us something like 64-28? That's absurd.

We keep it close on the boards, or God forbid, actually outrebound them, and I'm comfortable with the outcome.

 

[DukeSky85]

I’m feeling extra good about this one.

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Man I’m so hyped for this game! I think it will be a close game but Duke wins in the end!

Duke: 74
Cheaters: 68

Let’s go Duke!!

 

[AlanInNJ]

Same here! I'm hoping Zion dunks all over Luke Maye or Nassir tonight.

Or BOTH at the SAME TIME!!!!

 

[dukiejay]

Nine points seems like a ton for a game of this magnitude. So far this season, we tend to struggle shooting the ball inside Cameron. If we’re able to stretch the floor tonight, then I think we can stretch out the lead, too. But nine still seems like too much.

LEGGO DUKE!

Duke comes in as a ten pt favorite right now!

Vegas must know something we don't

I put a big bet on UNC to cover.......that way I only lose money if Duke absolutely blows them out...which is exactly what I’m hoping for

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Duke wins 84-80. Joey Baker hits the winning FTs (kidding)

 

[Hurley22]

It's finally here. If I'm this pumped already then I can't imagine how our guys will feel right before tip.

I have a close watch on Zion's fouls. Tre's fouls are important too but I think he has more control over his emotions than the energy ball called Zion.

[dukesince91]

We’re going to win tonight! I think Tre and Reddish will stymie White and Johnson and Zion’s going to tea bag someone (Hoping it’s Little).

Underrated matchup tonight, Cam vs. Cam. That's going to look like a fist full of cooked spaghetti.

 

[Thinkpositivepc2]

I have a feeling Luke Maye will cement his spot in being one of the most hated UNC players of all time by getting Zion in PETTY foul trouble.

Either way.

I’m at Disney with the fam and we always stay late at the parks but I WILL have mysterious stomach ailment around 7:55pm tonight.

Go Duke.

That is a clean looking hat, my friend.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Duke better be ready cause I promise you UNC will be ready

Time to give ole Roy Boy that arse kicking he deserves

Don't blame maye if that happens...good strategy if that's the plan...it's on the refs to not call garbage fouls
