The Hoyas play a cruical non-confrence game against one of the best teams in the ACC, The Duke Blue Devils on Saturday afternoon at the Verizon Center. we are coming off a loss to one of our biggest rivals the Orange of Syracuse last night at the Carrier Dome. Saturday is a huge game for us in making a statement going forward for the tournament selection commitee. The Hoyas have the advantge in the starting line-up with Monroe and our three starting guards-Wright, Freeman and Clark, where I believe the weakness for the Hoyas in this game is the power forward spot with Julian Vaughn matched up against both plumlee brothers- Miles and Mason. Our bench really needs to step it up in this game and if one of our starters gets in early foul trouble to sustain the momuntem that our starters have. Duke has three experinced players in their starting line-up with Singler, Thomas and Scheyer with a very capable two guard in Nolan Smith. This game favors the Hoyas with them winning in a tight game that goes back and forth with Austin Freeman hitting a late three to win it.
