Perfectly predicting the scores of every Duke basketball game this season
By Matt Giles
Predicting the final score of the 25th Duke basketball game this season
Opponent: Louisville Cardinals
Date: Feb. 27
Time: To be announced
Location: Durham, N.C. (Cameron Indoor Stadium)
Louisville’s record last season: 24-7 (15-5 in ACC)
Head coach: Chris Mack (259-118 overall record in 11 seasons as a head coach, including a 44-21 clip in two seasons at Louisville)
Outlook on Louisville from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports: “Look for David Johnson to improve to one of the 10 best players in the ACC, while Samuell Williamson carries the breakout-player tag on this roster. Those two are sophomores who had humble stats a season ago but should spike; the other player who will be tasked with a lot is grad transfer Carlik Jones, who is going to try to go from averaging 20 points at Radford to something close to that at Louisville. They love him there.”
Predicted final score: Duke 81, Louisville 78
Duke’s predicted overall record to date: 20-5 (15-3 in ACC)
