UAB Blazers at #1 Duke Blue Devils
Wednesday January 5, 2011 7:00 PM EST
Line: Duke -18
The Blazers have won 4 straight games coming into their first game vs a ranked opponent. Tough luck pulling the #1 ranked team in college right now. Duke is still perfect on the season and have won their last 6 games by 10+ points in each.
Stats to consider:
UAB Blazers:
- UAB is 10-2 with 2-2 road record.
- Points per game: 71.1 (147th)
- Field Goal PCT: .457 (83rd)
- Rebounds per game: 35.9 (160th)
- Assists per game: 14.7 (82nd)
Duke Blue Devils:
- Duke is 13-0 with a 8-0 home record.
- Points per game: 89.3 (2nd)
- Field Goal PCT: .504 (6th)
- Rebounds per game: 37.5 (96th)
- Assists per game: 17.7 (15th)
Duke makes this sports pick easy. They are the best team in college basketball, and UAB isn’t nearly on their level. If this game were played at UAB I would take the Blazers and the points. It’s not, and Duke has been on fire lately. The player who has really stepped up their game for Duke is Senior G Nolan Smith who leads the team with 18.6 PPG and 5.6 APG. Duke Senior F Kyle Single is 2nd on the team with 17.5 PPG and 5.8 RPG. Duke will be too much at home.
