Duke vs Notre Dame College Basketball Betting Preview
The Duke Blue Devils come into this crucial contest against Mike Brey and the Irish following a victory in Louisville, the first game without Chris Mack as Cardinals head coach. They have won 3 in a row, their last loss coming at the hands of the Florida State Seminoles at Tucker Center. Paolo Banchero and Wendell Moore Jr lead the way for the Blue Devils as they have contributed greatly to Duke’s success. Will he be able to resist the mighty and hot Notre Dame? Tune in to watch.
The Irish come into this game on Monday fresh off a 69-65 win at home against the Virginia Cavaliers. They have won 10 of their last 11 games since the Crossroads’ classic loss to Indiana, putting them in the NCAA tournament conversation. It’s been a team effort across the roster, with Dane Goodwin and Blake Wesley leading the way. The Irish are currently undefeated at the Joyce Center (9-0) and look to continue that trend against ranked opponent Duke. If the Irish were to win this game, it would most likely cement themselves as an NCAA tournament on a big bid team and move Notre Dame to second place in the ACC standings.

Duke vs Notre Dame Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
There’s a bit of a need for this game on both sides, especially with Notre Dame bulking up their resume heading into February. Whoever wins this game will be sitting in second place in the ACC and just behind Miami, whom Notre Dame faces on Wednesday. However, for Duke, winning this game would go a long way as Notre Dame is very hot since IU’s loss. It would also gain some confidence for the junior youth group on Coach K’s final trip to the Joyce Center. Tune in to ESPN at 7 pm ET to see who wins this game, you don’t want to miss it.
Our Duke vs Notre Dame college basketball betting prediction tonight will be Notre Dame +5 (-110) at BetOnline.
