Same thing here, I took Pitt because Cuse played a team that plays solid defense making them work for all their shots instead of getting wide open looks like they had been. I said they would have trouble handling the toughness Pitt would bring and that Pitt would take care of business. Same thing here, NC St is young and they are going on the road to play one of the best in the country in probably the toughest place to play in the nation. Duke plays very good ball pressure defense and if you look at NC St in road games, they have a hard time scoring. This place will be rocking and loud, young teams like NC St are easily rattled in this environment. Not a good mix for NC St. It is alot of points to lay but watch most of the regular public will be on NC St just as many were on Cuse last night. NC St could play better and Duke could have an off night just as anything can happen but I highly doubt it. Nothing points to NC St, Duke routed them by 20 last season when NC St had a better team.
