doubling up on ranked opponents IN conference, something we couldn’t say last year! We welcome the 12-3 mustangs to Cameron after they whooped the Tar Heel. They should provide us a solid challenge but if 2nd half Duke shows up I expect it to be a long flight back to Texas

duke- 87
SMU- 69

I'm with you Pisgah. We play like the first half vs Louisville and let Boopie get whatever he wants we will lose. We play like the second half we can win going away. Whoever Boopie covers, we need to take it to the rim against him and try to get him into foul trouble. They don't have much size other than their center

SMU will hit a bunch of threes but we will adjust and get out with a W. I think it will be close, maybe in the 6-8 range.

Throw all our resources at shutting Miller down and make someone else beat us. Let’s go Duke!

We’re not very good so I expect a fairly close game. 😂

Miller I hear is questionable, if he plays we win by 8, if he diesnt we win by 18.

Duke 88-79

Wow- haven’t heard that. If he doesn’t play that’s a MAJOR break for Duke. Maybe it’s the flu like my household is getting through. Seems to be everywhere right now…

Is anyone expecting a starting lineup change?

I do not, but, it would not surprise me if we did….

This starting lineup won’t last.

Only 3 offensive players…..

Pat will be back starting next game.

Sarr or Brown have to begin on the bench.

Yeah definitely something up with Foster. Hopefully we can just steal a couple minutes here and there from him today to give Cayden a break

Cheap 3 there at the end but defense looked good. Pat looks better today so let’s close this out. Please win the 4 four minutes.

We're making them but I don't like how we're just shooting 3s this half. Couple from Cayden, couple from Evans and just got one from Cam.

IMO, if Miller was playing this is a closer game . Not saying Duke isn’t playing well just that without Miller SMU is keeping it close .

Pat is playing well. I don’t do the statistics thing as most posters but I wonder how much this game will be looked at without Miller as say Kansas without Peterson? The reason I ask is because Kansas is still taking losses with Peterson playing .

Figured it had to be something up. Pulled him early and then only getting a few minutes at a time and mostly filling a role when out there. Especially after last game there is no way a coach would pull an upper class leader that early

I had to miss the game, so tried to catch the score from time to time. For whatever reason, Foster didn’t play a lot and didn’t score, but Cayden was solid. Four guys in double digits.

Ngongba, atta boy big fella.

Hopefully Pat got the message after being removed as a starter this game

Win is a win. I’ll take it for a nice Saturday night to watch some hoops and playoffs.

Now onto the dreaded west coast trip
