DBR Bites #67 - Wildcat Alert!

Wildcats on the menu?

Ok, enough with the overmatched opponents. The Blue Devils are ready for some real competition. Duke faces Kentucky on Tuesday in the Champions Classic and any time these two bluest of blue bloods get together you know it will be a game to remember!

The Duke Basketball Roundup has a complete preview of the contest including a breakdown of Kentucky’s style of play (fast, with a lot of 3s) and which players to keep an eye upon. Jason and Donald are especially interested in the big man matchups — how Khaman handles Kentucky’s hulking center Amari Williams and whether Kentucky PF Andrew Carr has any chance to contain Cooper Flagg.

After the break, the guys dive into football team’s 29-19 victory over NC State, a win that once again featured stellar defense from Duke. The victory gives Duke a sweep of its Triangle rivals for the first time since 2013 and Jason gives us the odds on how many games Duke will win this year? Who wants to bet against 10 victories for Manny Diaz’s surging team?
