Predicting the final score of the 18th Duke basketball game this season

Opponent: Miami Hurricanes

Date: Feb. 1

Time: To be announced

Location: Coral Gables, Fla. (Watsco Center)

Miami’s record last season: 15-16 (7-13 in ACC)

Head coach: Jim Larranaga (632-422 in 35 seasons as a head coach, including a 190-113 clip in nine seasons at Miami)

Outlook on Miami from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports: “Do not sleep on the 2020-21 Hurricanes, who were sub-.500 last season. Their maximum for the next four-plus months is No. 6 in the ACC, and I can’t see their floor being worse than ninth. Beyond mighty-mite point Chris Lykes, the Canes have a good 2 in Kameron McGusty. Unfortunately, the recent season-ending foot injury to power forward Sam Waardenburg knocked the U down…Still, a team with good depth.”

Predicted final score: Duke 71, Miami 64

Duke’s predicted overall record to date: 14-4 (9-2 in ACC)
