Perfectly predicting the scores of every Duke basketball game this season
By Matt Giles
Predicting the final score of the 17th Duke basketball game this season
Opponent: Clemson Tigers
Date: Jan. 30
Time: To be announced
Location: Durham, N.C. (Cameron Indoor Stadium)
Clemson’s record last season: 16-15 (9-11 in ACC)
Head coach: Brad Brownell (352-227 overall record in 18 seasons as a head coach, including a 185-142 clip in 10 seasons at Clemson)
Outlook on Clemson from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports: “The most underrated player in the ACC wears Clemson colors: Aamir Simms. He might be good enough to be first-team All-ACC come March, while Brad Brownell attempts to make an NCAA tourney for the third time in 11 seasons with the program. I’d expect this to be a top-30 defense in college hoops.”
Predicted final score: Duke 72, Clemson 59
Duke’s predicted overall record to date: 13-4 (8-2 in ACC)
