Looks like we may not be getting an official game thread again.

I'm not expecting a win tonight even though we are currently a 2 point favorite. Hoping for the win though. Would be a big one to add to the resume.

19 pt road loss to ISU
11 pt road loss to Az
14 pt road loss to TT
11 pt road loss to UH

Big Monday always tipped at 6 and 8 central time. Why is it 7 and 9 tonight? Is it because ESPN wanted Duke in the prime time slot for February sweeps ratings so they pushed us to 9?

Fully expecting a loss. We don't match up with AZ. But we're at home. Monster resume opportunity tonight!

I was wondering that as well. It would make more sense if it was being played in Arizona.

I don't believe we can win tonight.

But Yoda over there is shaking his head as he pulls Luke's X-wing from the swamp again, and tells me

'Trust our shooting tonight, you should'.

Trying to trust the muppet ...

On a positive note I don't think we have t worry about OT in the Duke vs UVA game resulting in our game starting on ESPNews.

We don't match up great with Arizona. Their defense is pretty flexible and their bigs probably feast on our D. One of the teams in this league with decently skilled bigs. Still think it's a winnable game as this is Arizona's worst team in several years.

Love, Vj, Omier, and Wright play nba small ball and Celestine usually plays fairly well at home. That's enough to beat most teams if they shoot better than they did against Wvu.

That surprises me. This is a nice matchup. Hopefully it's a late arriving crowd… But that doesn't really make sense with such a late start.

0-3 on threes already.

Seem to be able to penetrate the paint though, but kick it back out for the three that isn't falling.

Much better start to this game than in Tucson. Hopefully, though, we'll finally learn to block the baseline on defense before the year is over.
