We may lose, but not by 20. Not like that.

The biggest problem I see is the guard size difference. Harper is 5'11 and Brown 6'1, the guards for Duke are 6'6.

I'm not complaining about Harper or Brown. I would not trade them for anyone and 99% of the time they create mismatches for other teams.


But this game could be the 1%.

Auburn is tired coming off of a close competitive game.

Duke is fresh and better anyway.

Auburn had guys play over 40 minutes, Duke has starters that didn't even hit 20 minutes yesterday.

So you’re saying it’s a win if you keep it within 20? In basketball? Jesus

I feel like this tourney is always wild.

And guys are always cramping up because of the humidity and whatnot.

If vegas has it Duke (-20) I'm putting down my enitre football winnings this year on that line.

That's a terrible matchup for ya'll. Auburn plays with speed and tries to out-athlete teams. Duke is gonna skullfrick ya'll.

You can get it at Duke -10.5 right now, go out your double wide down.

I'd like our chances better if Wiley was in better shape and Purifoy was eligible.

Auburn’s hope is that Duke comes out with the mentality that they are an Army-level team.
I think that game had more to do with Coach K's connection to Army and his not wanting to completely embarrass the cadets than it did complacency on Duke's part.

Wow.

I want to bet that line sooooooo bad.

I would put $100 on Duke just because I would be so happy we made a close game out of it.

frick dook, and this is the wrong time to be peaking, given that they are razor thin on depth. AUB will give them a game.
