Predicting the final score of the 20th Duke basketball game this season
Opponent: Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Date: Feb. 9 or 10
Time: To be announced
Location: Durham, N.C. (Cameron Indoor Stadium)
Notre Dame’s record last season: 20-12 (10-10 in ACC)
Head coach: Mike Brey (536-285 overall record in 25 seasons as a head coach, including a 437-233 clip in 20 seasons at Notre Dame)
Outlook on Notre Dame from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports: “Mike Brey’s team struggled mightily against top-40 teams the past three seasons. The Irish need one more year of sculpting, with point guard Prentiss Hubb guiding the way…before they’re back in the NCAA Tournament conversation.”
Predicted final score: Duke 89, Notre Dame 79
Duke’s predicted overall record to date: 16-4 (11-2 in ACC)
