Predicting the final score of the first Duke basketball game this season

Opponent: Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs

Date: Originally set for Nov. 25 (after the publishing of this article, Duke announced the postponement of this game to an unspecified date)

Time: To be announced

Location: Durham, N.C. (Cameron Indoor Stadium)

Gardner-Webb’s record last season: 16-16 (11-7 in Big South)

Head coach: Tim Craft (127-106 overall record in eight seasons as a head coach, all at Gardner-Webb)

Outlook on Gardner Webb from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports: “Too tough to read this team at this point. Almost 80 percent of the roster has been turned over from a 16-16 team. Another situation where COVID-19 could exacerbate the molding process.”

Predicted final score: Duke 83, Gardner-Webb 55

Duke’s predicted overall record to date: 1-0 (0-0 in ACC)
