Duke loses by double digits at NC State today. If they lose one more between now and the game against us, we will have a chance to spoil his 1,000th career victory party :) . They do have a road game at Louisville this week, too.
 
Watched the whole game... State shot lights out from 3. They're beatable but it's not a good match-up for us.

Oh, I don't think we beat them, but I do think it's a decent matchup in 2 respects:

1. NC State blocked 10 shots as a team today. Duke seemed a bit intimidated by that.

2. Coach K does not deviate from his usual man-to-man defense. He may show a little zone against us, but he's just not going to pack it in on a consistent basis.

As an aside, the game will also provide Jahlil Okafor with a nice preview of his probable NBA home court :).

NC State beat them scoring over 80 + points. I just don't see us coming close to that. Keeping them in our comfort zone of score in 60s seems hard to imagine.
 
We could get coach K's attention first half. Making our guys play 2 halves just not fair. Might happen, but can the kids be expected to win the second half against any team the rest of the way?
