Finally, we know who we're playing. But we don't know when. Of course we don't, because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle!

Time for revenge.
There's no way we can come out flat and unmotivated ... right?
Right?Quote:

I was praying that Georgia Tech would win. I think Duke will struggle with Clemson just like they struggled with Maryland last year. Clemson can ugly it up and keep the score down. That won't favor Duke.
As long as we get Jabari the ball on the low block or the elbow and Hood mixes things up with the drive and the 3, we should win.Quote:

We gotta ride him as far as we can go. We should be going to Saturday.
Curious to see how Quinn comes out in this one.

Against Tech in OT on Thursday night, Clemson's starters logged 30, 34, 36, 40, and 43 minutes of game time.
The double bye is always advantage, but it seems like the advantage is compounded following a late night overtime game. Extra game minutes, extra late getting to bed. I'll take every advantage we can get. I want to win the ACC!
Ugh, I have a bad feeling about this game. We haven't been good off extended breaks, and we're vulnerable to these scrappy defensive teams, especially ones with extremely quick point guards. I hope Jabari just comes out on fire, that would probably give us the cushion needed to win.
But Duke has done well in rematch games where they lost the first one. This will again come down to crunch time. Duke will need to be smart and find ways to score inside. Clemson is a good test.Quote:

Good chance we see the platoon system of substitution, at least in the 1st half.Quote:

I think he should do well because Clemson is a man-to-man team and his struggles tend to come more against zones, imo. Nice opportunity here for Quinn to continue to build momentum after a good game against UNC.Quote:

GoDuke!Quote:

We should get the win but it's going to be ugly.
He cannot guard both of them, have to hope that whichever one is not being guarded by McDaniels has a great game. I think Duke wins this one convincingly.Quote:
