Odds Duke loses 2 straight at home

[Madbiker]

slightly worse than:

a)an asteroid hitting Earth
b) getting struck by lightening
c) getting attacked by a great white
d) winning Powerball
e) Cooney hitting 10 straight 3's

Well, if they weren't playing us, I'd say zero.

 

[pearl31]

yeah, highly unlikely.
They're just not as good w/o Jefferson though, and they are bad at defense

 

[Cusefan0307]

Totally different team this year. I don't think they are the 9th best team in the country. I won't be surprised if we win Monday. Need another great defensive effort and we will be in good shape.

 

[jncuse]

I view our chances the same whether they lost or win today, (or slightly better now as college teams tend to have unexplained short term funks fairly often)

That being said our chances are still limited.

 

[orangefan13]

In all things of a serious nature, we match up well with them imo.

Yeah, I secretly hoped Duke win today. They're in a slide and probably due for a great performance. And what you said. Hopefully, we have gotten out of our funk and will bring it on Monday.

This team will beat Duke this year. This team from Duke is overrated and haven't beaten anybody. They are getting exposed now that ACC play has started. Plus everyone from the Duke forum is saying that.

0:1

I was pulling for them today, really didn't want to play them off a loss.

Last year there was a point when I had the realization that the entire season would be about Christmas getting drafted in the NBA. This year I just has another realization. Regardless of anything else that happens for the rest of the season, if this team were able to beat Duke at Cameron it would make the season a complete success in my opinion.

The funny thing about duk, now that kennard has pushed thornton to the bench (prob permanently) they have no point guard. Imo G is WAY better at pg than anyone duk has in their starting lineup. And they are weak inside w no Jefferson. Sound familar?? Lol duk will be the fav but this game is very winnable for SU! Go Cuse!!

 

[Ghost]

I don't have one of those fancy scientifical calculators, but on my regular one I calculated the percent chance of them losing two in a row to be:

:noidea:

 

[bballbeadle]

But you're saying we have a chance!

 

[Orangemen]

A vintage duke team, not good.

This duke team, 45%.

 

[jdubs30]

They have the weapons to be hot from 3...but I don't see how they can guard us. No Jefferson is big time for us. The way we are playing I think we have more than a punchers chance.

 

[Shark58]

i think its very unfair that the ACC schedule has Duke playing 2 home games in a row

we really need to win at Duke or at virginia... I like our odds better with duke... I think this is one of the few games where we have the advantage down low.. Assuming DC continues his gradual improvement and Robie plays like he has been playing...I am really curious what vegas line is for this game.

Seeing this happen again.

 

[orangefan13]

we have better athletes. It takes seasons not one days notice to fix that.

After seeing how the refs behaved today for WFU, I'd say our chances are about 1 in 1,000,000 of winning Monday. It was clear as day to me that through the first part of the 2nd half, the refs were trying to get Wake back into the game and when Wake just didn't take advantage the refs threw them to the wolves. Can you imagine what they will do for Duke? The only team in the world that gets more favorable treatment at home is Kansas.

Assuming we play well, the game will be close, but there is absolutely no way the officials will allow us to win it.

I won Powerball!

$12 that is.

Hey, you didn't specifically say the big prize!

I'll be at the Duke game. Look for the only spec of orange in the student section behind the basket. A friend of mine is in grad school and scored me an extra!
