Not everybody in the student section was wearing Duke apparel on Saturday night. A quick scan of the student section will reveal one man wearing a “Presbyterian College” sweater amongst a crowd of Cameron Crazies.

Taylor Doherty just put up a blog post detailing the prop bets up for tonight’s game, along with his picks for them. So I thought I’d add my two cents. Here’s a list of over/under prop bets not found on any gambling sites, though they should be. (I went ahead and gave my prediction for [...]
