quick turnaround but short drive to PNC/AandE/ whatever the heck the place is called now arena. I want to pick us big (and I will) but with caution- state usually plays us well

Will Wade and this NC state bunch will be looking to make this game a literal street fight so I just want the squad to stay healthy. #11 will want to make this a UFC fight. I think Jon throws Sarr on him to shut his punk a** up.
Duke by 7 or 8

IF we are going to lose one more game this season, this is the one. It's a classic trap game coming off the high of Saturday and with UNC coming into Cameron this weekend. Still, I have a ton of confidence right now in this team! I'm thinking Cam has a big game tonight.

The place will be rocking, so the boys have to be focused. This State team is like a bug. You have to squash them, and not let them have any confidence. The more it looks like street ball, the more that benefits them.

We're bigger than them inside so get it there and let Cam and Pat get to work (Williams 6'6, Lubin 6'9. Don't let that clown Copeland get going. He loves to bait and antagonize you then get the crowd going with his antics. Rebound and play smart (no dumb fouls Pat) and not chuck up 3's.

Let's go Duke!

This is the biggest trap game ever. I can see Duke losing by 15-20 but I can also see Duke winning by 40+. I hate playing here.

Duke - 74
Moo U - 64

I do not understand Wades coaching tonight.

States not tall but they’re athletic and they could double down Boozer.

What a nice game. I agree with others, this team has become more and more businesslike in their last few games. They just get out there and get the job done. It really does seem like the team is gelling at the right time. Shots are falling, we are staying out of foul trouble, and our defense is legit. I also love the fact that we aren't engaging with other teams when they play rough or talk crap! I still think we left too many open three's for them last night, but it's hard to be critical when we have held our last 7 opponents to an average of under 60 points! Let's get it done on Saturday and ride high into the ACC and NCAA's!!

I stand by what I said after the UNC loss. Duke will beat them by ten plus in Cameron and I want Wilson back on the court so there won’t be many excuses from tarhole fans .

Yeah the Blue Devils were not happy with the shenanigans by Trimble & Wilson in their post game interview on February 7th nor with the court storming and throwing water bottles at them.

Unc is really going to experience what “belt to a**” feels like on Saturday Night.

I hope I don't eat my words, but I don't see Bilas saying "this game always delivers" early in the 2nd half.
