Bounce back performance - please.

Please. If there's a shot clock violation on the first possession, let it be on them.

Have a feeling it may take 90 to win this one. Maybe more. Zero faith our defense slows them down much if at all

The Dukies are 40-18 lifetime at MSG. Duke opened as a 1 point favorite. Line quickly moved to 1.5 and now at 2.5 in several places.

Whelp they beat MSU and we got destroyed by MSU sooo.
That math seldom works out like it's supposed to though.

Hopefully it gives them motivation to avenge their loss to MSU. We'll see.

Gonna miss a good chunk of tonight's game thanks to a work meeting. Best of luck to the Bears tonight. Time to put MSU in the rear view mirror and grab a big neutral court W over the Dukies

They'll be up by 18 at the end of it all because we're not ready. Detroit proved it.

Dennis has gotta start valuing possessions against high level competition. This ain't Nicholls St. 2 careless TOs and an off-balanced shot already.

Defense doesn't seem much improved from last year against great competition.

Drew's gonna switch D's soon. Duke's guards are taking Walter and Nunn off the dribble with ease.

Duke is incapable of a blocking foul apparently

Nice steal. Too bad he ended up out of bounds
