MREAST NCAAB WEDNESDAY TORCHER

#763 ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS @ #764 DUKE BLUE DEVILS 9:30PM EST
PLAY ON #764 DUKE BLUE DEVILS -9 -110 FOR 3 UNITS

The Arizona St. Sun Devils had a big year last season, riding the talent of what would be 2 NBA 1st round draft picks in James Harden, and Jeff Pendergraph. That duo combined for 35 points and 14 rebounds, and 46 wins the last 2 years, while the previous 3 years saw a combined 37 wins. They are going to struggle this season, especially vs a team as talent rich as Duke. Duke always has an abundance of talent coming and going, and it is the reason that one of the worst years at Duke, is on the level with one of the best years at ASU. The big problem for Duke was supposed to be at guard, but enter a vastly improved Nolan Smith (22ppg), and a freshamn that through early enrollment entered the program a year early in Andre Dawkins (11.5pp), and that issue is gone. Freshman Miles Plumlee is scoring 10.7 a game, pulling down 5.5 boards, to compliment Singler, and Zoubek. The Dukies have more talent in every spot, including the bench. Duke gets this one.
