My game analysis is going to be short and sweet today. Just win baby, just win.

Today’s game is slated to tip at 8pm est and will air on ESPN2. Duke currently sits at -16.5 and I actually think we’ll cover because of our abysmal showing Wednesday.

Duke - 85

Virginia Tech - 64

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

Crazies will have to help us out. Right now I don’t see that dog who can get the team hype out the gate. The slow starts have to stop. Think we do a little better today. Duke by 12

The good news is that it's impossible to look worse than we did against NC State.

How would you bet that fight? I don’t follow boxing.

Ive never placed a bet but I’m going fury wins. Wilder runs that mouth so much haha. I feel fury would of won the first (it was a draw) if he had stayed in his feet. Wilders more of a slugger real strong but not a great “boxer” if that makes sense considering he’s undefeated lol fury has a lot better technique

I placed a $5 bet on each round for Fury. Lowest payout is $205, highest is $355.

They both run their mouth and always have, but that's what boxers do. I can't remember one good boxer that didnt run his mouth. In this sport is more to do with confidence and what you have done inside the ring. You ever watch Roy Jones Jr in his prime? Talked junk outside and inside the ring and still beat tail until he was way past his prime.

Oh I know I just feel like he talks so much and doesn’t have the skill to back it up. As for Roy he’s my favorite boxer of all time and pound for pound wasnt anyone better

I still go on youtube and watch Roy's fight. That one highlight video called "can't be touched" is awesome minus the music for some lol. That chicken walk in the ring always cracked me up.

Soul searching game tonight, pretender or contender. How will these kids respond to this last loss, will it linger or will they respond like true Blue Devils? My feeling is that Duke will respond with a win.

Go Duke!

The schedule says the game is on ESPN2 at 4pm EST but when I checked the program guide it’s showing OU vs OSU on ESPN2 at 4pm EST. Has anyone else noticed that or is it just my program guide on Dish Network that’s screwed up? lol

the game was originally scheduled for 4:00pm if I’m not mistaken. A couple weeks ago it was changed to 8... not sure why some providers didn’t update

I’m looking to see if we can get the first 10 minutes worked out. Constantly spotting opponents double digits isn’t a recipe for success.
