I don't expect much drama from tonight's game but as banged up as we are that's not a bad thing. William & Mary has had an interesting schedule. They've blitzed Bridgewater and Presbyterian and been blitzed by Louisville - bringing them to 2-1. I expect more of the latter from Duke as we should smack them around pretty good.

Tonight's game is slated for a 7pm est tip and will air on ESPNU HD.

Duke 94

William & Mary 56

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

This will be the first of 2 games this season that divides my family, haha. My brother went to W&M, my parents and one of my sisters went to UF.

That being said, I expect to be gloating later this evening. I like us in this one .

Per KenPom, William & Mary is a top 100 team (currently #93). They rank 53rd in offense and 177th in defense.

William & Mary used to have an old Coach K assistant as head coach. Chuck Swenson was there from 1987-1994. He then went to work in Duke Basketball office. I am not sure he is still there as I lost contact with him.

Duke big William & Mary little. Bench gets into the game.

The upcoming schedule would be an ideal time to work in the frosh if healthy. 15-20 minutes per man. The rumors last week seemed promising but I haven't seen much since so it may not happen tonight

Any updates on Tatum for tonight?

Was wondering this myself. Geesh, it is getting soooo frustrating!! Going into last weekend there were rumors that we may see Bolden and Tatum over the weekend, but supposedly almost certainly Tatum. Never happened. Now I have heard absolutely nothing about him. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

You make it sound like you're owed information. I get it; it sucks. It sucks being left in the dark, but that's how K and Duke does things. It's literally always like this.

I just got through reading about this on Duke 247 and from what Coach Capel had to say it was doubtful. He gave no indication on when the 3 may return other than none would be rushed. He said the team really hasn't had any practice time. He did say Grayson was really hurting but he was a warrior. I didn't link it because it was fairly long but if anyone can find it and wants to share please do so. OFC

I want to see them play, but I am more concerned with getting them healthy 100%. It is still early in the season. If we can be healthy by January, there will be plenty of time for adjustments, chemistry building heading into March. Everyone knows the goal for this team. Every decision should be made with that in mind, and probably is.

We're just anxious to see the guys...we get it, we understand this is typical close to the vest info. Just beyond anxious to finally see some of these guys in game action...and all indication is any day they'll be trickling back..we're just kiddy with anticipation.

I agree, don't want to see Grayson playing 35+ for a while

May have sounded that way to you but I never thought, nor did I think I even implied, that I was "owed" information.

Duke 84
Bad Guys 65

Was just watching 247 Sports live and they showed all 3 hurt guys warming up, although Giles was just shooting 3's and Bolden looked like he was "gingerly" shooting. Just found it interesting that they were dressed.

Hoping we get to see the start of the Duke game . The South Carolina/Michigan game is on and even though the Gamecocks are up 15 the whistle is being blown every 15 seconds and time outs are still being called with about 3 1/2 minutes left. It's taken 20 minutes to play 5. OFC

I actually want to see Grayson just keep shooting it. If he can just get 2 in a row to go down, I think he will right the ship.

We needed to start this game like a sprinter not a marathon. We should win this game by 50. Settle down and play Duke's game not Bill and Mary's. They are playing Duke's game . Getting up and down the court and knocking down 3's. Sorry I got to get my attitude better. Thought we should be up 20-6 by now. OFC

Grayson's slump is tough on the eyes. Looks to be 10% of his former self tonight. Kids a warrior to play but he's simply limited right now

I really figured Jack White would get some time tonight with the four guards starting. I haven't been able to watch the last two games, has he played any?

Just injecting Bolden into this game is day and night. Better defense in the paint, lobs. Dang, gimme one of the broken three!
