Duke -21 at Pitt?

Get off Duke's nuts weirdo.
Boston College is 11-6 overall and NC State is 11-5 overall and Pitt is 8-8 overall, I wouldn’t necessarily say that Pitt is similar to them.
Yeah, Pitt is not good. Duke can struggle on the road against a team that is solid (anyone can). I doubt they struggle against a team like Pitt though.
The guys that are laying the odds are not Duke fans, they are statistical analysts working for all the sportbooks. If you feel the odds are out of whack, lay down the money -- they are always happy to take your bet.
Right now, as a Duke fan, I am keeping my green in my back pocket and wait to see how the team responds to our last game.
Lost to West Virginia by only 9, but at the same time lost to Penn State by 30. They are wildly inconsistent. 21 is a lot to give though.
21 points does seem a little high, especially considering how poorly Duke has been defending. But Pitt is significantly less talented than both State and BC... and Ryan Luther, Pitt's best player, has been out with a foot injury for several weeks.

Pitt mostly uses freshmen right now... And they're just a little bit different than the Duke ones
We'll see. They've struggled against some bad teams this year at home. Relative to how they should of course. A 17 point win doesn't exactly look like a struggle.
No, I’m thrilled (and Robinson and White look better than Bolden tbh)
I'd take the best 5 players on here over Pitt.
I think they will going forward. If K wants to play pressure D (seems he does) he can't run the legs off of the 5 starters. Pitt is garbage but should help these guys that haven't been playing get some confidence, the effort they're showing will earn PT imo.
Dude needed a big boy haircut but I can't tell what the lines are... Vanilla Ice tribute?
Cause on 3 of those 3's I was like "No no no...yes yes yes!!"
Doing the best with what he has. Starting 5 freshmen who aren't future NBA players is rough man.
Isn't that because so many left because everyone hates him so much though?
I think it is his second and a bunch of guys left after last year. Maybe not though.
You sound like me last night. Up 30 and still frustrated over every play that isn't perfect, haha. I'm always like that during the game.
They've been missing wide open threes for the entirety of conference play outside of the 2nd half of the BC game for Trent. If Trent is a first round draft pick this year the NBA GM's are crazy.
