regarding the total in this game....
Someone in another thread pointed out that the days of catching Duke totals in the high 150s are dead and buried.....true. Hell, you might be lucky to see a Duke total under 165 for awhile.
My thoughts on this total (171) are: Maryland clamped down on Duke pretty damn hard defensively and the total still managed to climb just up over 160. Can Wake clamp down just as hard? Probably not. Both teams obviously like to push the ball upcourt and unless Wake can duplicate Maryland's effort defensively, I have a hard time leaning towards the under in this game.
Slight lean to the over on this one.
