Cameron Indoor Stadium

Duke will attempt to avenge their earlier loss at Georgia Tech, when Duke shot a remarkable 42/25/60 as a team and yet probably would've won had Mark Mitchell not pointed at someone after a basket.

This game will be up against Browns at Texans in the NFL playoffs.

Need to beat them the fuck down after that embarrassment in Atlanta.

After their early game vs Duke, GT has probably had the easiest schedule in the ACC: at FSU, vs BC, vs ND. They've gone 0-3 in those games, losing each one by at least 3 possessions. They'll be in the running for worst team in the conference besides Louisville, and they could very well finish 2-18, with the only wins being over Louisville and Duke.

Could the loss at GT go down as the worst loss in modern Duke basketball history?

Duke is favored by 17.5.

We need a 30+ point win to erase our previous humiliating loss to this terrible GT team.

 

[rome8180]

I tend to think we win by a lot. My reasoning:

1) At home
2) Duke is playing MUCH better than we were when we lost to them. We're basically a completely different team
3) Revenge factor
4) Presumably won't lose a key player 30 seconds into the game
5) GT sucks

The only thing giving me pause was that all the NBA outcomes have been trash the last couple of days.

Let's have us a nice TJ and Sean game, please.

Four guards + freshmen time

(Jk, Ryan Young at PF time)

Motherfucker

[Pantone287]

It's finally happening

 

[Pantone287]

Can't wait to go down 9-4 or whatever to start and have Scheyer put in Young at PF and permanently write off what he considers a failed 4 guards experiment

 

[Ladevil]

If only we had a “Power” forward that could pop out and hit the three today.

 

[DurhamSon]

Need to make Mitchell off the bench a permanent thing, can’t rely on this kid going into the postseason now or whenever.

He’s also certainly has to go get his bag this off-season in case this keeps happening

 

[aiw]

This is so fucking annoying

 

[aiw]

UNC D up to 6 btw

 

[aiw]

dammit this Mithcell thing pisses me off

 

[DurhamSon]

dammit this Mithcell thing pisses me off

He fucks us in the ass in the first game and won’t play a second in the rematch
