From Jason King of ESPN

Question

Jason King 3:02 PM ET I'm going to go with Florida State. The Seminoles will be full of confidence after already beating the Blue Devils in Durham. Quite a bit on the line for both teams.

Also its at the TLC double C. That place will more than likely be rocking like never before.

Answer 3

Hope he's right. Duke, plays in front of sold out stadiums and fired up crowds wherever they play. This game will come down to how well we guard the 3 point line, which team keeps their turnovers to a reasonable number and whether our bigs play well against theirs.
We were very good by our standards on offense at Cameron--- can we execute as well or better on our home court? You'd think so but too often this year our offense at home has been stagnant. (Princeton, Harvard,
Va. Tech, come to mind) Duke has more weapons than all of those teams by a wide margin.

Answer 4

We didn't play Harvard at home, neutral site game in a tourney. How can it be determined that our offense gets stagnant too often than not at home when you can literally only point to 2 games? Those are the outliers for our offensive output at home, Princeton and VTech not the norm.

Answer 5

They play in front of those type crowds in Tally and lose more than their used to also. Usually when the teams are considerably less equal than they are this year.

Answer 6

This is the first time I have thought FSU is just better than Duke. We have beat them in past with some inspired efforts but I really think we are just flat out better than them this year. I know they probably have the edge on us in offense but I like our O when combined with our D as the better team.

Answer 7

I think we may be better than Duke this year, but I also don't expect Duke to make it too far in the NCAA tourney this year. I'm willing to bet they really don't want to play us again, and I hope we blow them out like we did NC here. We would have to shoot lights out for that to happen, but it would still be nice.

Answer 8

Snaer has to limit Austin Rivers, I have a feeling he will take the game personally and be looking to score 30.

Answer 9

You point to Princeton and VT at home and I counter with UNC, Maryland, GT, and UVA (the score was low based on pace, we still shot 48%)

Answer 10

Who? Snaer or Rivers? Maybe both will be doing that?

Answer 12

I think he meant Rivers.

Answer 13

Rivers is talking the revenge game, says they're a different team than we faced in Durham, guess we'll find out tomorrow night in packed out and frenzied Tally.

Answer 14

It's not just going to be Snaer. Look to see how much dribble penetration Duke's guards get against ours, then kick for the three. If we don't consistently stop the dribble, it's trouble. Look for Peterson to get some more minutes to use his quickness.

Answer 15

Actually, I hope Rivers is overly aggressive because he wants to win so bad. This means he will force shots and passes and create turnovers for us.

Answer 16

You would think but if you go look at Rivers history in these kind of games or when he starts popping off at the mouth, the dude normally backs it up. Just like when he said before the UNC game that he will have make an impact in that game. I remember seeing him in highschool mouthing off that he guaranteed that he would have 40. Dude ended up with like 42. Some guys just go into a whole another zone. I'm curious to see if we could keep him out of it.

Answer 17

I still maintain that Rivers has never been in a game like this. And certainly never in a game like this facing the type of defense we have. The UNC game was great but UNC is not exactly a defensive juggernaut(and neither is NC State)

Answer 18

That dude is a son of a legend. He was born into games like this.
