Coach K exited after a briliant coaching career at Duke. The program is now under the guidance of John Scheyer, and it isn't skipping a beat. He has four starters back from a year ago, and a top recruitting class to go with it. The Blue Devils shot 64.4% in their opener vs. Dartmouth. Don't write off the Wildcats though as Arizona is no slouch. The Wildcats are going to be at or near the top of the Pac-12 this season. This is a great early season match up, and the elephant in the room is this game is at Cameron. Duke is an impressive 268-27 SU in this building since 2007. Coach Scheyer has more than continued the tradition as he has yet to lose here at 17-0. I think the homecourt is worth a lot here. Make the play on Duke.

Premium Picks
Arizona at Duke
Duke was a top team before Kyrie Irving came back and may now be the odds on favorite for a repeat. Irving has played about 20 minutes a game in the pair of Duke tournament wins and is scoring 12.5ppg. I would expect his contributions to rise with each game as he gets comfortable back on the floor. Arizona won a nailbiter vs. Texas to get here and another nailbiter vs. Memphis in their opener. They have had little margin for error against teams that aren't on the same level as Duke and will have their problems here. The Cats are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten games and have never fared well vs. the ACC at 1-5 ATS in their last six. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils are on a 5-0 ATS run vs. the Pac-10 and 17-8 ATS following an ATS loss. Duke covers in this one.
