Fun trip for the guys out to Vegas but not much competition this year against the Runnin' Rebs'. UNLV enters today's contest 5-3 but has some tough losses of late including a 24 point loss to a not very good Arizona State team a month ago.

We're supposed to win this game by a lot - Let's stay healthy, play solid and leave Vegas with a W.

Game time is slated for 5:15pm est and will air on ESPNHD.

Duke 86

UNLV 71

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

Based on past results this year, Duke should win by more than 30. Just hope Tatum and Bolden continue to work their way in and Jeter has a good day in front of the home crowd. Would also like to see Grayson sit, a good game from Frank, and maybe White and Delaurier get some time.

I'm hearing that we may be sitting Grayson and Frank. Anyone heard anything?

Amile with his standard double, double. He's become my favorite player this year.

I think the Chronicle reported that as a possibility. Frank rested a few games ago with an illness. Unless he had the DeMarcus Nelson croop, he should be playing and starting today. Grayson could rest. Grayson should rest.

While I think this game could be closer If unlv gets hot from 3 and k goes deeper into his rotation.i hope he works on some chemistry in this one.
I got it 91-69 Duke!
Starter predictions Kennard Jefferson Tatum Allen Jones with bolden first off the bench for jones ,then Jackson for Allen . Then I see jeter getting some hometown love for Tatum/Jefferson

PS I hope Jackson starts instead of jones though.lol

This game and the next couple is a perfect time to try to get frank going from the point. If I were K I'd tell frank to be super aggressive in these games,and run less set plays and let him try to create.If he gains any confidence look out!!! PG is our only weakness. Either that or let Grayson handle it moving forward. or both.Matt jones is not the answer .good time to get bolden in shape and get him some confidence also.

I think if the score gets out of hand Coach K will call off the dogs and slow it down. I'm saying if there's 10 minutes left and Duke is up by 25 Duke will end up winning by 20. Stall ball will be worked on and that's fine if we extend the lead. OFC

79 - 77 Duke,,,,,,oh yea that already happened, still one of my favorite games in Duke history. Today Duke 84 UNLV 76. I feel like it will not be a blowout. Duke is going to take there best shot today and in Las Vegas also. Gonna be a good one.

There were moments against Florida where we saw what might be. I have a feeling this team is about to explode into a beast. Don't know if that happens today, but it might be another jump forward. Bolden needs to play good minutes. If Grayson plays, hopefully he starts to heat up. And does Tatum start to become the nasty beast we hope?

I think we see a good amount of our potential.
