    Duke -12 CBB

    Taking the Blue Devils tonight against Belmont. Belmont's a very good team coming off a 30-4 year but will not be able to hang with the Devils in Cameron tonight.

    It's too early for me to bet CBB, but if I did, I'd go the other way. Belmont is returning 10 kids from a team that won 30 games laster. Duke on the other hand will be seraching for their rotations and I expect Coach K to play lots of different combinations. I don't know that Duke's focus tonight will be winning as much as learning. Good luck with your play though.

    i figure play unc -9, duke -11.5 and kentucky -35 individually and you'll go 2-1 at worst

    Like Belmont big in this game. Duke to young to hang with a experienced Belmont team should be a close game.

    Belmont had a ridiculously easy schedule last year to get to 30-4. Plus, they're a pressing team. You know what happens when a team that presses plays a team with an elite point guard like Austin Rivers? Two words: layup line. Plus its at Cameron, so that overaggressive defense is just going to result in a ton of Duke free throws.

    Belmont not a comfortable team to be laying 12 against. Duke is certainly talented, but also young. This game is going to be challenging for them

    everyone is saying Duke is young. They will probably start 3 juniors, 1 senior and a freshman tonight.

    Should we let him play a game first?

    If you're going to take the tact that he's ranked #1 and has nowhere to go but down then....maybe?

    He's not ranked #1 and Ive seen many of his high school games to know that without his last name he would be as ballyhooed.

    HUGE duke fan for over 25 years (since i was 5) guess you could say born into it. I don't feel comfortable laying 12 points. I could easily see this game being around 8-10 points late and just being who gets the lucky late baskets to cover. LV got it right with this line in my opinion.

    Rivals rated him #1 and espn rated him #2 as a high school senior so it's not like it's not arguable.

    I suppose nba guys who played with him this summer and said he's the real deal were sucking up to his dad.

    Coach K coaches to his players best strengths, the kid will be fine.

    "Lights out shooter
    Underrated passer
    100% focus and passion to get better he hasn't seen since shane battier"

    so coaches seem high on him.

    I'm excited to see what Doc's kid can do. Can't go wrong with his blood line.

    Here Bernie if you don't want to here it from Collins here is other scout's take.


    Austin Rivers (Duke PG) is the top dog of the 2011 high school class. The 6’4 shooting guard can flat out score. He has a lethal first step that is enhanced with his ability to shoot from NBA three point range. Media411.com scout Mathew Polacheck says, “ Austin Rivers’ shooting range is when he steps into the gym. When the game is on the line, you want him taking the last shot. This kid is clutch. Oh yeah…He can dunk on you too.”


    Pure scorers mentality, super aggressive offensively, can penetrate and create his own shot with ease
    Explosive athlete, quick first step, springy leaper, NBA caliber athlete
    Superb ball handler with an outstanding crossover, quick spin move, change of pace and sick step back dribble
    Unlimited shooting range and great consistency, NBA 3-point range, superb midrange game and shooting touch around the basket
    Unconscious scorer, can get hot, hits tough shots with regularity even if the defenders hand is in his face, almost automatic
