Keys to Beating the Blue Devils

Duke is the best team in the country, Marvin Bagley III, Wendell Carter, Grayson Allen, Treyvon Duval, and Gary Trent, Jr., all of whom could be potential first round picks in June. Especially with the loss of Deontae Hawkins, Ky Bowman and Jerome Robinson will need to take over, pushing the tempo, and putting up A LOT of points. For as much offensive talent as the Blue Devils have, they have not been a strong defensive team, so if the Eagles can shoot the lights out, they may have a chance to keep it interesting, but only if they can control the offensive explosion that Duke will likely bring to Boston.

Predictions:

Matt: 93-75 Duke. Too much offense

Toppin: 86-65 Duke

Katie: 91-75 Duke

Food and Non-alcoholic Beverage to enjoy during the game

Who gives a damn about food? After the loss of Hawkins, I’m ready to give up. First Anthony Brown’s knee, and now Hawkins. I have two healthy knees that I would love to give up to help them. They need them more than I do. I need them to have them more than I need me to have them.

Of course, also remember that BC basketball is doing its holiday toy drive for the game!!!!
