Duke vs Army Prediction

I’ll lean toward Duke. The Blue Devils are coming off a pretty routine win over Western Carolina this past weekend, hitting 46.9 percent from the field with 50 rebounds, 21 team assists and a 40-28 edge in the paint. Duke held the Catamounts to just 30.6 percent shooting on the other side and 14.8 percent (4-of-27) from 3-point range. That makes a combined 170 points in two victories so far for the Blue Devils this year, and they’re heading into another manageable matchup on Tuesday.

As for Army, they gave up quite a bit on defense to the Tommies in their latest loss: specifically 50 percent shooting from the field and a 50-28 deficit on points in the paint. The Black Knights shot 43.5 percent from the field themselves and had 11 turnovers in the seven-point defeat. Unless they can tighten things up on the front side of their offense, I don’t see Army getting too many second-chance opportunities or easy foul shots here.
