The CW.. so exciting. Game is moved up due to winter weather possibility- I hate layoffs, I’ve said it over and over and expect us to come out rusty. Well win but I’m sure the gameday thread will be fun

Duke- 87
Wake- 70

Yeah we will come out rusty and Wake has played us tough the last few seasons. Duke wins but I think it’s a close game 6-8 point win type of game.

Wonder how Sarr is going to defend Juke Harris since they're about the same size? Last few times we needed Sarr to guard players who were much smaller than him and he excelled.
Also, we're much bigger than them inside... It's our job to get the bigs involved and get them in foul trouble. We make free throws we win going away. We don't it'll be closer than we want.

Let's go Duke!

Yeah if Sarr can take Harris out, that’s big. To your point, Duke is significantly bigger so every single possession needs to feed the post. I believe their front court players are both 6’7

Duke needs to have a dominant win today. They can’t afford to come out slow and sloppy. Win and win big. Limit turnovers, don’t chunk 3s, play inside with Cam and Pat, and let Cayden run point.

Duke - 83
Wake - 69

Going to be a long day unless we start making some open three's to open up the inside. Had some decent looks so far from distance but gotta make them especially Evans

Slow Start, the poor defense against the 3 Point Shot drives me crazy. Nonetheless the Free Throw Shooting is Improving, Duke's Defense is Elite, and The Blue Devils are Continuing 2 Evolve.

Bring on the Cardinals on Monday Night.

We know Cam was great, but Ngongba had a good game, 13 and 7. A shout out to Foster and Cayden. They combined for 16 points. That may not be great, but it isn’t bad either, considering between the two they only took 9 shots.
