Eye of the Tiger

Forget about soaking up the sun and some of the Duke players working on some much-needed tans (see Kyle Singler). The Devils came out like gangbusters and jumped out to a 31-4 lead and pretty much cruised after that. Kyle Singler was clearly the best player on the court with 21 points but let's face it, this wasn't your circa 1996 Princeton team. Let's see how Duke fairs against a much stronger opponent tonight when they face the Illini of Illinois, which is clearly a game that if Coach K is in position to do it, he will run up the score because he almost hates Bruce Weber as much as Weber hates him (see Jon Sheyer recruiting battle). The ideal situation is that Duke wins and Sheyer goes for 25+ to rub it in but I will take any win I can and in any which way possible.

Prediction: Duke 94 Illinois 79
