The Duke Blue Devils have won 5 straight games and the Texas Tech have won 10 straight games and this might be the biggest game in their programs history a chance to take down a storied college basketball team in Madison Square Garden.

Duke ranks first in steals in college basketball and that's where the game will be won on Thursday night on the defensive side of the ball. Red Raiders will be fighting to remain one of the few teams in the nation that is still unbeaten and for Duke it is another notch on the resume that will give them a one seed come March Madness.
Duke comes into this game off a beat down of the Princeton Tigers 101-50 a game where I really like Princeton to keep it close but Duke was having none of that as they pulled away in the second half something that should happen on Thursday as well.

Duke is like a heavy weight fighter that beats down on it's opponent then by the second half take it to school like no one else. I talked earlier about defense and that is also what head coach of the Red Raiders Chris Beard has built his program around. Texas Tech is holding teams to just 51.2 points per game. I think we will see a supreme defensive battle as both teams need this win badly I think it goes under easy as Duke wins this game 68-59.
