Duke Louisville Saturday Discussion

PG play will be big. If Siva can continue to be efficient/not force things offensively and get everyone involved then L'ville wins.

Can they handle Plumlee?

Plumlee will be getting beat up by our bigs. Siva is in the zone, Russ Smith is just a flat out do it all scorer. Duke will have to hit double digits 3's to win....

Based off lines so far you would think puke-2.5ish....

Nah, I bet L'ville is favored tomorrow. Sulaimon and Cook are the X factors for Duke to get a W. Plumlee will get his. Ville has some quality bigs, but Plumlee is the best big in the nation IMO, a hair better than Cody Zeller, (kills me to say this) but he just plays like a senior should. Curry is in the same boat with Plumlee, high basketball IQ and will get his.

So it really comes down to the true frosh and Cook. Pressey had 8 turnovers tonight for Mizzou, and that was absolutely the story of the game. If they play smart and limit turnovers, hit a couple big shots, and contain Siva, Duke wins. If they can't Louisville might win by double digits.

Hancock also won't come in and hit 5 3's in this one. Just icing on the cake for a blowout L'ville W.

Plumlee is not better than Doug McDermott, lets be serious and stop being prisoner of the moment.

As for tomorrow game I love LVille in this spot:
Missouri is a better team than Duke, they have better guards than Duke and LVille ate them alive. Russ Smith should have a good game if he is guarded by Quinn Cook. Dieng and Behanan will be able to contain Plumlee. Plumlee really wasn't that effective in the first half of today's game, that was against VCU. Missouri has really good bigs. Bowers had been really good coming into today's action and was held in check. Even Oriakhi compared to what he had been doing had a really pedestrian game, u mentioned Hancock I think he does hit a couple timely 3s for the Cards tomorrow.

I have the the line being LVille -2.5 and I will be all over it if that is the number

I meant best big in the nation. Mcdermott is also just another Adam Morrision, but whatever.

And Oriakhi must average 25 and 15 if 15 and 8 is pedestrian? Lol

And Missouri is not better than Duke. Should be a great game tomorrow.

I read Alex's stats wrong u are right 15-8 very nice, Bowers=blah

Missouri seems like they have a better roster talent wise than Puke. Dixon hasn't even played a game yet for them. Jabari Brown is coming too. That trio of guards trumps Curry, Sulamion and Cook. Keion Bell is capable when he isn't turning the rock over. Oriakhi and Bowers are really good bigs and Ross is a smooth swing man. When they are at full strength they will be tough in the SEC.

But I do agree should be a good game, LVille for this guy though. Good luck

Anyone put stock into the under? Lots of games in a couple of days. I think their will be a ton of turnovers and Duke hasn't put up any outrageous numbers yet. I could see a lot of shots coming up short in the second half here. Kinda liking the under more than taking Duke here.....

TheeArchBishop · 11-24-12, 01:09 PM

Duke will win. VCU was a great gm to play in prep for this one. Duke will win.
