Duke and Kentucky, Duke over Kentucky.

I don't see Duke blowing out MSU. Hell, this game will be tight the whole way. If Duke is fortunate enough to win, it will be right at the end. I see this game being close for these freshman who have never been in a close game before.

isn't the line 25 or some crazy blowout number?

that 'talented-but-inexperienced' stuff worked for State with Kentucky last year...
highly doubt anything remotely similar happens tonite.
yall guys are just too good, too deep, too well coached, too etc.
really would like to see Sparty make a showing though.

Eh, I don't see this being the case.

Duke has looked hella good thus far and I don't see Michigan State slowing them down. Think it'll be a double-digit game when it's over.

Thanks, but we will see. I think Tom Izzo is just class all the way around. He is a damn good coach. If he gets blown out in this game, it will be because Duke is hotter than a $2 pistol. The final score will not be in double digits IMHO. We shall see.

Coach K teamwork.

 

[H2S]

K perceptibly downshifted at the 8min mark.
Izzo owes him a box of galumpkies for that.
