I like duke -6 here alot. They score way too many points compared to MSU. They will score more than 3 more baskets than MSU and cover the -6

They didn't have one in 2010 either when they won the NCAA tournament. That shouldn't effect your decision making.

Yes, but that's if they win. I'm not sure they will. Michigan State isn't that bad, and only lost to Duke by 5 last year IN CAMERON. Duke looked out of sync against Belmont, and might feel a lot of pressure to win this one because of the milestone potential and all the cameras and hype surrounding the game. If MSU keeps it tight, which I think they will, I could very easily see Duke blowing this.

If Curry and Dawkins have poor shooting nights, (a distinct possibility considering MSU's usual stout/physical perimeter defense) the Spartans win. Rivers is going to get too jacked up and turn the ball over, and the Plumlees are going to brick a bunch of 4 foot shots near the basket. The only Duke players who will shine tonight will be Tyler Thornton and Ryan Kelly. But I don't think that will be enough.
