On the surface, Miami seems like the better ball club…especially @ home!
Rewatched some clips of the last game & looked over some stats, and I like Duke covering or winning SU.
Why? Defense & length. Defensively Duke’s defense is top 30 p/ KP…confirmed and they rotate to help, big wide stance, slide their feet. Going to be tough for Miami to score in the paint w/ Duke ‘s length + defensive fundamentals.
Risk on why Duke won’t cover?
Rebounding. Miami gets out rebounded a ton since they’re smaller. But, they’ve out-rebounded their opponents 3 of their L4. Duke in that first Miami game got about 12-15 points just on offensive boards
Can Duke makeup for the 12-15 second chance points? If and only if Roach plays well. Duke plays much better w/ Roach. He’s first game back from the injury was in the 1st Miami game. Should be much healthier in this game?
Why Duke will cover…
Miami’s defense isn’t bad, but isn’t good either. #115…they’re a team that focus more of their efforts on the offensive end. They shoot a ton of 3s (deadly), but I think Duke’s fundamentally ready on what to expect from Miami….guards play up and don’t allow open 3s. Simple, but Duke is real young, so acknowledging it and execution is 2 different thing when you’re 18-19 y/o. I think Duke has gotten much better as team, and should show again tonight.
FYI - Both coaches are pretty even…Schyer relies heavily on players and assistants to manage the game. On the other hand, Larannaga seems chill, and doesn’t pay a whole lot of attention to detail. Leaning more on Duke’s Assistants than Miami’s coaching staff to get them through this game.

Quit drinking the kool aid dirtbag. Duke blew their wad and won their national championship against UNC. Tonight will be a reality check. Miami is a better team and will win.

I with you with Duke. Seems a lot of picks on Miami. Yesterday I was so sick of seeing everyone on Ohio State I had to go with Michigan. Sometimes it works.

@skillahmang I can tell that you’re a negro not that there’s anything wrong with that. It shows through the screen. Your grammar and vocabulary is clearly niggardly. It doesn’t matter whether I bet $50 or $50,000, what matters is my win> and I guarantee it’s higher than yours or Dirtbag’s just by the resistance I’m experiencing with my sound advice. I don’t bet on teams, I bet on numbers and numbers don’t lie. Let me translate the numbers for you amateurs because you clearly don’t understand the language. In the current market, Miami is a -3 underdog which means that moneyline is around -155 which means that Miami has around a 60% chance of winning. That’s not my opinion that’s the market and “the market is never wrong, opinions often are”- American stock trading pioneer. That means to realize your 10% equity on your +3 Duke bet, you are basically betting that Duke loses by exactly 1 or 2 points. Which is just dumb lol. You are betting on a team that is projected to lose 60%+ of the time and on the road where they are 2-8 last 10 games!! I also guarantee that I bet more on one game than you do in a month.
