Duke Blue Devils
All in all, it has been a good season for Duke so far. I would not put them in the same category as a team like Gonzaga or Auburn, but they are still very much one of the better teams in college basketball.
The Blue Devils beat the Clemson Tigers on Tuesday by a score of 71-69. People a lot of times seem to think that these guys will always blow their opponent out of the water, but that was not the case in their last effort. It was a good example of them taking care of their business in a close game situation.
They do have a few losses on their schedule that seem a little weird, but for the most part, they have taken care of the teams they should be. It is worth noting that the ACC is not very strong this year, so it is not as if they are always playing great teams within their conference.
Paolo Banchero led his team in scoring in their last game with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Even though he is just a freshman, this guy has been something special to watch all year long.
Louisville Cardinals
It has not been the best of seasons for Louisville so far. They just do not seem like a basketball team that knows which direction they are headed in.
The Cardinals come into this game with a record of 11-9. Unless they get much better as the year goes on, they will sort of be floating right around that .500 mark for the rest of the year.
This squad lost to the Virginia Cavaliers on Monday by a score of 64-52. It was just an off day for them from the beginning until the end.
The offense was just not good enough for them in their last game. When you score just over 50 points, you really do not deserve to win the game.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Duke is 17-3 SU in their last 20 games.
- The total has gone under in 5 of Duke’s last 7 games.
- Duke is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the ACC.
- Louisville is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games.
- Louisville is 14-6 SU in their last 20 games at home.
- The total has gone over in 4 of Louisville’s last 5 games played on a Saturday.
Free Duke Blue Devils vs. Louisville Cardinals NCAAB Summary:
I am curious to see how Louisville plays in this one after they fired their head coach. Besides from just this game, it will definitely be something to follow for the rest of the season.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Duke ATS
The Cardinals are going to have to play a much better brand of ball than they did in their last game or the result could be even worse for them on Saturday.
Listen, the Blue Devils are the better team here and I just feel they will be too much for the Cardinals to handle.
As the game gets going, I just do not see how the Louisville defense will be able to slow down Duke.
My play is on Duke laying the points here.
