#7 NC STATE vs #3 DUKE Preview (ACC Tournament Edition)

Time: 3:30-ish
TV: ACCN, ESPN

Recap of Last Night

Review
January 18th, 2014 (Durham, NC)
Duke 95
NC State 60

Nothing went right. I mean absolutely nothing. Even Buckets was just Average. It’s pretty simple, everything the Pack did in the first game, do the opposite.

ADVANTAGES

PREDICTION
KenPom likes Duke by 9, Vegas opened at Duke -10.

TJ is going to get tired today from carrying the heavy workload. I also think it’ll be a 5-on-8 game if it’s even close. The Pack used up all it’s magic on the final 6 shots last night and the run comes to an end today. Yes I’m being negative, it’s worked for the Pack so far.

    We’ll never be able to keep up this scoring pace from our role players, you know everyone not wearing #24.

    I understand the zone call but not sure how long we can stay in it

    Cat has been sensational … sorry if some of you are listening to Vitale and he’s been saying ‘sensational’

    At the Under4 in the first…
    PACK 0 — Dook 0

    Our Kids are hanging tough…

    Pack shooting 13 out of the last 15…
    Dook with FIVE threes…. and that needs to stop.

    If they’re going to call fouls on KH with hands straight up like that, then next time he needs to knock his ass under the basket and on to the ground.

    Hipster Cat definitely rising to the occasion. He and Frenchie could be special next year.

    Key stretch here to end the half.

    No way we can win if Duke keeps hitting their 3’s and getting to the rim so easy.

    Of course Lewis doesn’t switch on D . . .

    Smart to let WBS finish the half. PLEASE be careful and take the very last shot. Going down 5-6 would be the death blow.

    I don’t know how we can keep up … we need them to miss shots and us get rebounds … then we almost have to be perfect on offense … yeesh
