Fouls will dictate who wins this game. Duke will make it a point to take it to State's big guys with the goal of getting them in early foul trouble. He has basically done this every time they matched up against State.





Duke has Plumlee who fouls out 10 times a game. Duke has no shot if it doesn't hit 3's. MSU has to0 much depth in the front court.

Thus the statement about fouls dictating who wins this game. I'll trade 3's for 2's all day.

Duke has played awful in the first two games. If they played anyone other than Creighton on Sunday, they lose easily. The defense won that game for them but helped that Creighton is completely worthless on offense beside Douglas McDermott.

Michigan State can defend and can score when they need to.

Should be a good game though if Duke shoots well.

Duke shoots a better percentage and averages more points than MSU. They also pass the ball around much more, negating MSU's bigs.

The only distinct advantage MSU has is on the boards, which Duke can negate if they shoot well enough. If Duke shoots poor from the outside, they have no chance regardless of how they're rebounding.

All two of them that they played. Not exactly the same as playing a B1G conference schedule.

Against two tournament teams, including a #2 seed in OSU. MSU only managed 59 points against their one ACC opponent Miami, who like OSU, is a #2 seed.

Cool

What does that have to do with Duke playing a soft ACC schedule that boosts their offensive stats?

You tried to give them impression that B1G defenses were stifling. Duke's offensive stats got a boost this seasom from playing B1G teams.

So they would have had better stats had they played a B1G schedule instead of an ACC one?

They are at a different level than the soft ACC.

The actual stats that you keep ignoring seem to point that way.
