MBB: Duke vs Wake Forest Pre-Game & In-Game Thread

[roywhite]

So is the Wake crowd halfway decent or should I not bother to wear my Duke gear, especially since I'm bringing my wife and 6 year old with me.

No problem. The Deac fans aren't known for their hostility, and there will be plenty of Duke fans there.

Vegas has Duke as a 13.5 points favorite with the over/under set at 144.5:

So we should be looking for a score in the neighborhood of 79-65. The game notes and full game notes are up at GoDuke.com:

Bob I don't know about those odds. Vegas had us 13 point favorites over VT Saturday and it took us OT to win. But Wake is not as good as VT imho. GoDuke!

I assume that last time that we were 8-0 in road conference games was back in 1999? That is one hell of an accomplishment. These kids have a giant chip on their shoulder. Give them a hostile environment and they know exactly what to do with it.

Awesome...

We were 8-0 in road conference games in 2000.

Let's be honest... this is the ULTIMATE trap game. I really hope Coach K beats this into the guy's heads because wake forest is coming off a blowout win against Boston College, don't want anything dramatic to happen here. Also, this is a very important game for Mason. Just watching him play you see he has lost a lot of confidence in his offensive game. This is his opportunity to get out of his scoring slump and put up some points, we are going to need it against carolina and we are going to need it in the tournament! Please Mason, go back to those beautiful jump hooks you were doing all season! That's your go to move that I haven't seen in a month!

Good thing we are playing on the road, since we seem to have more trouble with trap games at home.

Bump to front page. What does it say that this thread has had so few posts, only a couple today? [That's a rhetorical question; ignore it; I'll answer it.] It means we're taking it for granted. I know I am, but I'm not exactly proud of it. What's your excuse? [Again, rhetorical; pay it no mind.]

Fortunately the team is taking nothing for granted, and undoubtedly has been talking all day about how spoiled EK posters are.

Sure hope Ole Miss-Ark goes 3 OTs, so we can miss the first half....

Go Mason and Andre, get those bounds, Miles. The rest of you, play good.

Indiana beats Mich St pretty convincingly. Maybe Mich St still gets 1-seed, not sure.

Beat Wake.

You might get your wish as it's a 1 pt game right now. GoDuke!

This can't be happening with Arkansas and ole miss...oh wait this happens everytime we're on the 9 pm game.

Apparently Gene Wojciehowski got it wrong. The Last Great Game is being played tonight on ESPN between Arkansas and Ole Miss. Oh my God.

[HateCarolina]
