00:09Total of 49 and a half, Bill. Now, naturally, I look at this and say to myself,

00:14man, is Duke just not good this year? How in the world are they getting points

00:18against Illinois as they take them on with a total of 49 and a half? What gives here?

00:23Well, Illinois could be on upset alert here. Duke, two and one straight up as an underdog last year

00:30under Manny Diaz, covered each one of those games. Darian Mensah, the Tulane transfer,
