    Pittsburgh -3.5 over duke

    Seems like a reasonable play to make tonight. Pittsburgh should win by at least 6.

    Let me save you guys some money. Take Duke ML. Have you not watched Duke the last 3 games? Offensively, there's not a more dangerous team in the country. They can put 5 players on the court at one time that can all hit the 3 at a consistent rate. But more importantly, over the last 3 games they're playing better defense. And who exactly has Pitt beaten that gives you confidence they can beat one of the better teams in the country? In their two toughest games of the season so far, against Cincinatti and Syracuse, they put up grand total of 97 points. I wouldn't bet against Coach K in this position for nothing. It's either a no play or Duke IMO.

    I am a Duke fan and I am on Pitt as well. They are to strong at home. Duke can win but I think Pitt will ice their streak.

    Offense can easily disappear on the road.

    Defense wins when adversity is high, and this team still doesn't even attempt to play D.

    duke all day... pitt is so overrated its not even funny...

    this ain't the big east. ..pitt is in for a rude awakening playing with the big boys

    y'all can laugh now but I'm taking the +4 to the bank without a doubt, should be a pretty easy W

    dukes D is better (yep, quicker bigger more athletic)...dukes O is far better and their coaching superior

    only thing that keeps the panthers in this one will be the zebras at the zoo!

    I think the ZOO was the reason he likes Pitt

    prob a top 5 toughest court to visit and so far the ACC has never liked it

    I think Jamie Dixon is 15-1 all time vs the ACC

    Not easy playing on the road and it makes it even harder playing on the road in Pittsburgh.

    I am a die hard duke fan and lkid knows that but i cant even side with duke tonight.

    I have no idea how any one can possibly say Pitt is over rated. They should have beaten Cincy and played extremely well AT Syracuse.

    You can argue Duke is over rated especially on the road. They are 2-3 on the road this year with wins vs Miami and Elron. No way would I take Duke at the Zoo.

    LOL at Duke's defense being better. Lost all credibility there. The Big East was probably the best conference in the nation over the past decade. Duke +4 looks great on the surface but they make these lines to lure people like you in

    hmm...even though duke has beaten three top 25 teams by (va 4, ucla 17, mich 10 points)???? and their two road loses they were up by dd in the 2nd and didn't close...not great but imo they were the much better team and have learned from those

    and PITT has NO top 25 wins and the two ranked opponents they played they lost to

    lol

    and if you believe Pitt shouldve beaten cincy...then I guess you'd have to say temple shouldve beaten cincy too! not too much of an argument for your panthers either way

    we'll all see tonight..but imo four points is crazy to have to lay in this situation

    Did you not watch Duke's last game against FSU? FSU teams coached by Leonard Hamilton are always tough as hell and Duke out toughed them. Duke will not be intimidated by no freaking Zoo. They play in the loudest arena on earth. And they're already battle tested on the year. This will be a very close game simply because it's on Pitt's home turf. However, Pitt doesn't not have the offensive firepower to stay with Duke. The +4 points are just bonus points IMO.

    big difference between a loud home crowd and a loud crowd on the road.

    Lamar Patterson, I think it comes down to him

    edit.

    comes down to Lamar and how the 3's fall for Duke. the difference may be a 10-27 night from behind the arc to 11-28.

    Jamie will have them contesting, but this is one of his worst defense groups in maybe his career

    I honestly think Duke has a better chance to go into the Dome and beat the Cuse than winning at the Pete. Pitt will defend the 3 and crash the glass, taking advantage of Duke's lack of size.

    Jesus, does anyone think that the line might actually be pretty accurate? What is this, PTI? Nationally televised game between two (what should be) top 10 teams. I lean Pitt too just from the home court advantage and the 'eye-ball' test, but can't you see this one coming down to the last shot? It's a toss-up in my opinion, could go either way.
