good play

Duke does not have a good 1-8 type team

Nothing would make me more happy on the eve of my birthday to see UNC beat Duke. But if UNC doesn't change the way they are guarding, especially the 3 ball, Duke will be firing wide open triples all night. Not the way you win against Duke. If last years Berry shows up UNC has a chance to win. If he shoots the way he has been UNC will not win. Been a tough year to watch. I actually put some on Duke +101.

OP thanks for sending coach hop to my team.

Honestly not sure who wins, I played Puke ml but in all honesty if unc was the small dogs I would have played them + anything. Way I see it is this a 50/50 type game, I don't think unc wins the requisite 56% of the time to get above the break even point. Certainly doesn't mean they won't win this game. When I'm at my best I'm playing big picture and not falling prisoner to the moment like most do.

Couple of best offensive rebounding teams in nation, unc better cleaning up the defensive glass so they should have advantage there. But has distinct advantage from behind the arc, that shoot and defend the 3 significantly better than unc. Should be a good game anyways.. BOL man

Very similar to my thoughts. Unc potentially small edge on glass cause their defensive rebounding been better, duke advatage shooting. I'd have played whichever side was dogs!

Just think Maye, or one of the youngsters, will have a really tough time guarding the Duke bigs. UNC has major problems defensively having to help more than usual. It has been a disaster this season defensively. Duke should hit a good number of jumpers just on the fact that they will be more open than usual. I am just not sure UNC will ever be able to fix their problems unless one of the freshmen all of a sudden gets it. UNC has almost zero shot blocking and relies heavily on the 3 point shot. That is shocking to say about UNC but it is true this season.

This game is simple. Both teams are playing horrible as of late. Whichever wakes up and decides to bring it will win. I give UNC the sleight edge to turn it around today because of the home crowd. But no way would I lay juice with them right now.

More like easy decision to take the plus money! I got on Puke at +110. Had unc been plus I'd have bet them.

I posted something incredibly similar in discussion thread something along lines of "strange as it sounds I'm not sure unc can handle dukes size". Still sounds funny saying it! Can't ever recall saying unc at a size disadvantage! Lol

Sucks I wasn't around for openers. Like I said I just took duke cause I got +110. I woulda took unc at plus money too. These games pretty much always coin flips, taking the plus money the way to go!

Good call

The game has passed by Coach K
