“But I think Vermont can give Duke at least enough of a run to keep this within double digits, right? Like it's Duke minus 11.5. I know that maybe has shifted over the past hour or two. But the Catamounts actually play really good defense. They're ninth overall in the country at doing that. They're a great rebounding team. And, yeah, I know this is a little trite to say, but Duke is always just a touch over value for me because people see Duke against a lesser team, and I say, oh, let's just put it on the Blue Devils. But this is a Catamount squad that's 8-3 against the number in their last 11. I think maybe they can give Duke a scare of enough to keep this in single digits. So I'm going Vermont today.”
64-47 — Duke beat Vermont 64-47 (margin 17), well outside Vermont's +11.5 spread, so the bet busted (ESPN).
