i have it on good authority that God is on our side.

You need to find new friends The worst case scenario for the game is being outnumbered in the stands by the pukie fans. Enough of coach K . Dean Smith should have knocked him on his rear years ago

 

[Russ2374]

You guys think 65/35 Duke fans ?

I'd say it'll be a little better than that. Maybe 60-40 Duke. Hope it's closer to 50/50.

I posted this before our game vs. Duke in 2011. Hope the magic happens again.

MSG holds roughly 18,000. That means 45% is 8,100. I think we get that.

Anyone see a point spread? Duke - 9 or so ?

Duke -6. Oddsmakers treating it like a St John's home game although we all know there will be more Duke fans and their crowd will be much louder.

wow that's short.

you couldn't pay me to take us and the points.

My only guess is they are factoring in the SJU fan drinking affect and expect a rowdy crowd of 500 sju faithfuls

Wear your lucky clothes.

good point. I think I will

We have to do our best to hold down section 114 for the home team. I figure we'll be outnumbered. Ralph will be good for 50 F bombs.

Max crowd for hoops is around 19,500

 

[indyredmen97]

I got an extra, not seated with us, in sec 111. Last minute cancellation, please pm me if interested, I'm only asking what we paid for it...assuming I can confirm your SJU bonafides

MSG is our house.

Dumbest thing I ever heard! Just bet less than whatever the person pays you to take us and the points.

The fact that the line is 6 and not 11 makes me think we have a shot. Go Johnnies

 

[redmen2014champs]

I have 4 extra tix only for the alumni pregame reception at Stout. If anyone wants them send me a private message.

I can't wait for this game, just praying Dlo is healthy and hoping for SJU to pull it out. Prediction Redmen 73 Dukies 68. Stay out of foul trouble, guard against the 3s, don't get killed on the boards and we can hang with them.

Yes, line is too low, my prediction was 8 1/2. Hopefully everyone and their brother unloads on the Dukies and Vegas calls in a favor to Coach K. We all know that tomorrow will not be a homecourt advantage for us as far as the crowd at least. My prediction on crowd is 70% Dukie, this is why line should be higher.

This game will either be one of the lowest points of my fandom or one of the highest points of my fandom. There will be no in between. Either Ratface gets 1k on our home court in front of 15,000 Duke fans while I walk out wanting to drive off the GWB on the way home or we ruin the party, regain our ranking and our guys get back on track for a tournament appearance. Looking forward to it.

Does anyone know if there's been any change with DLo's calf injury?

Laettner is massaging it.

If the first half is a calamity we can always deflate the ball and see what happens.
