Duke vs nc state ???

Judging how bad state played bc. and how great duke handled there last 15 includin a 28 point win vs clemson. even in raleigh i got duke by 12

RE: Duke vs nc state ???

Uncertain at this point with Kelly and Curry hurt and Mason looking worn down. Rasheed seems to be dedicated to defense along with Tyler. Cook stepped up and turned into a shooting guard rather than a point guard (which is impressive that he can alter his game to the situation). On the positive: the bench showed up with some points, which at the beginning of the season was a major concern, and everyone is snagging rebounds (39 to 28 with 11 off rebounds). Giving the edge to Duke, who will win by 3. For those who want to play the home game card...4 of Duke's starters have been there/done that. Home game advantage only applies to freshman...not juniors and seniors.

THE PACK HAD THIS TEAM DOWN BY 20 LAST YEAR AND LOST. They learned. State by 20.

Don't get carried away..this is still state college we're talking about, no matter how much they've supposedly "improved".

I'll withhold my score prediction, and instead, hope the sprinkler system in the PNC Center (or whatever the hell name they call it this week) turns on about halfway thru the 1st half, soaking everyone in attendance and forcing a long delay in the game.

That would be great. (Especially the black streaks down Kiwi's neck and forehead from his latest dye job LOL!)

Maybe it will flood so Coach K can do his walking on water trick for ESPN. I love having the greatest coach ever on our sideline. Enjoy you NIT t-shirt haters

Two different teams. A new year. Good luck.

RE: Duke vs nc state ???

Kelly is out. That is 20 points that is not available. I thought that State would win the game 92-80 with him playing so my new score is 74-60. Duke will slow it down but it will not be enough. Duke comes in 15-0 and leaves 15-1!

Kelly averages 13.5 ppg. How did you come up with "Kelly is out. That is 20 points that is not available."?
