Scott Spreitzer's CBB Monday Night Knockout! *4-0, 100%!
I'm laying it with Dukie on Monday night. The Blue Devils suffered a disappointing season last year. They came out smoking and on a mission in their opener, a 65-point win over NC Central. Just to show they mean business, they rocked a decent NMSU squad by 25-points last Monday. Duke clobbered a talented Aggies' team on the glass and forced NMSU into a minus-14, assist-to-turnover ratio! Tonight, they'll take on a Princeton team that looks destined for the cellar this year in the Ivy League. Sydney Johnson takes over as coach and he has a young squad to try and mold in a hurry. The Tigers are off to a 2-0 start, squeeking out wins over a hapless Iona program and Central Connecticut State. Princeton actually trailed the CCSU Blue Devils by eight points at the half, putting up just 16 points in 20 minutes. The huge step-up tonight against the "other" Blue Devils will be too much too soon for the young Tigers. Look for the new-and-improved and refocused Duke Blue Devils to hammer Princeton from the start and not let up. Duke is my Monday night Knockout. Thanks! GL! Scott.
