Thursday, March 14, 7pm ET, ESPN
Capital One Arena, Washington, DC

Line: Duke -11

 

[Topher]

State to cover feels like free money. 11 points is absurd for a tournament game between two rivals, when the underdog is riding hot.

Has word leaked that Burns had a coronary or something?

NC State +500 to win is a great use of the $5,000 sweat-free bets for NC gamblers. Basically guaranteed to profit $25,000 tonight, but if the black swan event happens with Duke beating a bad team, you can put the resulting $5,000 free bet on UVA or BC to beat Duke tomorrow, which should also be guaranteed profit. If you inexplicably lose both bets and are down $5,000, you can then double down on UNC to beat Duke in the Finals, which will actually be guaranteed profit.

A man could die tonight and everyone is laughing.

(I am of course talking about Flip dying from all the angst)

Great basketball so far

 

[sivartrenrag]

this is my favorite sport

 

[JimboJones]

This first 4 minutes pretty much guarantees Mitchell to transfer

 

[Devilsforlife]

We look done. Awful start

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Jon Scheyer has his young men ready to play once again.

 

[TS9]

I feel like I’ve spent most of the last decade or so openly wondering what the hell Duke does during practice

 

[krsmith16]

Just keep pounding the paint

 

[Devilsforlife]

Duke trash

 

[krsmith16]

Surely that will start to work

 

[CK86]

Definitely a game where I will have the volume on mute and probably sparingly watch. This is horrendous.

Jon's bench talk sounds like he's playing cliche bingo or something that the rest of us aren't in on

 

[Slap the Floor]

This team is so soft. Jon knows it too. He's smart and will make the necessary adjustments in recruiting moving forward, IMO.

 

[bfactor]

Diarrhea killing us

 

[CK86]

Love the hustle! Missed 3, opponent gets a fast break and misses the layup. Duke still doesn't get the rebounds then doesn't bother to contest a wide open 3 and good.

Considering who is left in the tournament, this could be duke’s last chance to bow out gracefully. Looks like they are delivering
