Duke and Gonzaga at the Garden in NYC

Posted On: December 21, 2006 By: Cliff Comments: (zero)

Another high profile game for the Duke Blue Devils as they travel to New York City to face the Gonzaga Bulldogs.  Another tough game for Gonzaga as they are playing a bruteful non-conference schedule this year.  Gonzaga has already beaten North Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

Look for a fast paced game with the Zags as they usually take the first open shot they see and many of those will be three pointers.  Derek Raivio will be leading the Zags as he is trying to take over Adam Morrison’s spot from last year.  Raivio is averaging 20 points a game so far this season.

For Duke to win tonight, McRoberts is going have to score around 20 points, and the same with Nelson.  Paulus cannot have 5+ tournovers and needs to chip in with 8-10 points as well.  Look for Jon Scheyer to continue his hot shooting and help out also.

My Prediction:  Duke 70 Gonzaga 69
