Gamble College Sports: Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Duke Blue Devils (1/19)
COLLEGE BASKETBALL — January 19
WAKE FOREST at DUKE
(Gamble College Sports Line: Duke -22.5, Total 147.5) — Wake Forest is coming off a 36-point blowout at the hands of N.C. State, and they were recently challenged - severely - to score points by Wofford, so legitimate questions have to be asked as to whether they can keep pace with Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils have been sizzling at home, shooting nearly 53% from the field.
After close shaves against both Virginia and Clemson within the last week, you have to wonder whether Coach K’s team can create considerable distance with this foe, which will be angry after such a humiliation. Has freshman Austin Rivers, who had assumed much of the Duke scoring burden, hit a wall lately? Rivers is just 40% (11% threes) with 23 points in three conference games.
