wanted to get this out early, hope to sleep in tomorrow LOL. We are a 11.5 point favorite at the moment. Looks like Pat will get some run.. I know little about TCU- they are 43 on Kenpom
Making them of of the lowest rated teams left- I just want more Duke basketball, I’m not ready to end this season.

Duke-77
TCU-70

If Pat plays, and he's Pat, and we play Duke basketball, we win. Play like we did yesterday during the first 23 minutes of that game, and we are going home. TCU is well-coached, can match up physically, plays hard-nose defense, and isn't going to back down. No Pat at all, and I think we'll go home losers.

I really think we see a focused effort today. If Pat can give us 15 solid mins that would be huge. This is not gonna be a cake walk, but I think after a close first half we create some separation early in the second and win by 12. We aren’t going home today!!

Duke 78
TCCU 66

See what I did there?? :)

Duke and I don’t think this game is close . I think Duke comes out with purpose and defends Punch well. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Dixon go hack a Cameron to keep his bigs out of foul trouble as he has plenty of guards and will be ok with Cameron earning his points at the line . Sarr for ten points and Duke doesn’t go cold in the first half .

I don’t see Duke winning this one. I hope I’m wrong but without Pat they’ll get exposed. TCU pulls away in the 2nd.

TCU - 79
Duke - 70

I agree 100% Jimbo. If Pat can give us 15 solid minutes even in short 3-5 minute bursts that would be big!

I keep going back and forth between being confident and pessimistic about today. If we come out today with the same Duke energy we have for probably 25 of our games this season we win by 15. I want to see a dominant Cam on offense and lock down defense by Sarr and Brown.

Okay. I’m back to confident again! This place is like therapy!!

The way I'm seeing the lineups, I think Nik may play a bunch today. In the starting lineup, they have two 6' guards. The other starters are around 6'6 to 6'8. My guess is that they have their 6'6 guy on Evans since Sarr isn't a big offensive threat hence he'll have one of the 6' guards on him. My guess is we'll counter that with Nik since he can/should back the 6' guard down on the block and score or distribute.
