Those are pretty weak. Was thinking Miami by 14, now I'm going with Miami by 20.

Duke is favored by 5.5.

Bettors seems to have caught on a bit, maybe? The opening line has been less than the Kenpom line for the last few games.

Nijel Pack is out tomorrow. No word on Proctor.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I heard a rumor that Pack is probably out for the rest of the season.

What is Ken’s predicted score for this game? Torvik has it Duke 77-74.

If we lose this game, the season is likely over (from a morale perspective at least).

According to the current ACC standings, 4 out of our 5 remaining games afterwards (@ #4 Wake, v #3 UVA, @ #6 State, v #1 UNC) are all losable. I'll be impressed if we can somehow only lose once to close the season. We're likely looking at 2 losses, however.

UNC on the other hand has an absolute cake schedule after this weekend until they play us. Paramount they lose saturday @ uva or else they've wrapped up the 1 seed for the conference tourney.

Nijel Pack is out tomorrow. No word on Proctor.

What’s up with him this year anyway? His first three years he shot 47% 2s, 42% 3s, 85% FTs. This year he is 44%, 36%, 77%.

His usage hasn’t changed dramatically from year to year, and he’s playing similar minutes. Somehow got worse at all shooting ranges after three seasons of consistently good shooting.

Line up to 6.5. Maybe Proctor made the trip

He's been playing hurt all year.

Phys, kenpom 79-73

Can't read this, but the headline says good news on Proctor

Game.

 

[ZackM]

Go Duke

 

[aiw]

I think bilas is crazy. The switches have worked and Norchads passes have been bad. Just bad bounces

 

[aiw]

Mark is killing

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

The Deep State operative Mark Mitchell has been incredible. Everyone else ass.

 

[CK86]

Saw that Bilas was calling the game so this is another one that I'll be watching on mute. Nothing bores me more than listening to 2.5 hours of complaining about foul calls or missed foul calls.
