    anyone got the KenPom numbers? Real time RPI has it at 60-76 Pitt

    that must be terribly skewed due to some glitch in the algorithm with Pitt beating Clemson by 30 and Clemson beating Duke by 10+

    Duke has been playing better and blowing out the other ACC teams as of late

    gotta think the books want to hook some huge public duke square/whales here

    Yea Duke is playing better and Pitt's only played one ranked team in Syracuse and got beat. I would set the line more around -3 or -3.5 Pitt and could see Duke winning.

    Pitt has played two ranked opponents on the road in Cincy and Cuse and played them both very close.

    duke has played two ranked opponents and also lost fairly close games.

    in addition Duke lost to two unranked teams. Pitt has not lost to an unranked team

    Duke plays well as a dog. And Pitt just 3.5 faves tells you everything.

    i forgot the bcats, my bad, but Duke has still played a much tougher schedule and with such talent and coach K, I can see them winning here at this point in the season, but I'll be taking the points.

    Did they really only give Pitt the benefit of home court in this line?

    That seems shady.

    Decent post, JJ. I tend to agree.

    Nobody on the court will be better than Patterson. But there is a significant drop off after him. Duke is very balanced.

    If Duke was getting more points, it would be impossible to not take them. Right now I am leaning on a Pass.

    Player evals favors Duke by a little over 2 points here, which includes Pitts home court advantage of 3.5 points.

    Still incredibly hard to go against the Old Big East teams in a bitch made ACC.

    Some say Duke has 3 1st round draft picks next draft

    They should actually be better than they are

    Take Duke

    2015? Probably.

    Parker is the only kid worth taking in the 1st round of the 2014 draft. Hood keeps getting projected, but I think the guy is a reach in the 1st round of this draft.

    They will ultimately be better than whatever u think of them now, tons of talent. Doubt they become that team in the zoo tonight vs a tough pit team.. As long as puke doesn't bring their refs I think all this gm be for them is a opportunity for a teaching moment ... Duke struggled at Clem, didn't play all that well at home vs UVA, canes are just horrible offensively and their other 2 wins of late were at home against teams they could dictate tempo.. Pit is a talented version of the grinding teams that have bothered dukies, with better defense and far more efficient offense..I like zanna and Paterson to do work up front against the duke youngsters and win this gm by a solid margin.

    I have a feeling no matter what side you're on here, you'll be sweating it out until the very end.
