The entire duke offense runs thru Rivers, a freshman. An nba talent, but still a player who has never played in this game. Most of the time, the young guys struggle in this game and the upper classmen carry the load, at least with the first matchup between duke and unc each year.
You are getting a few points of UNC value here as they didn't cover the last 3 (2 of those 3 were backdoor specials)! That being said, Roy is notorious for blowing a big number late as this team consisently lets up in the second half when the route is on. It won't matter tonight.
I think if you took off the Duke uniforms and just looked at this teams win loss schedule, you would be hard pressed to say this is a top 10 team, maybe not even a top 20 team. And UNC is probably a top 5 team..slightly below Kentucky and Ohio State.
This is probably a decent game to take LIGHTING/ACTION points on if you can get them.

I am a huge Duke fan and I dont see how they beat unc in chapel hill...they have no one to put on barnes...if Duke shoots the ball really well and can push the tempo a lil they can hang in there...Plumlee who is very inconsistent would have to play out of his mind...the boards would prob be dominated by unc unless coach k can figure some way to get the plumlee's and kelly to play with intensity...foul trouble could come into play as zeller got into fould trouble on sat (but that was in maryland and the calls were seemed one sided)...one plus for duke is the foul shooting (even though that didnt show in sat OT's loss to miami), unc foul shooting is horrible...may or may not matter on how many times these two teams get to the line
all in all i think it should be tight at times but unc will pull away in the second half b/c duke's defense isnt what they are used to seen
