Rhode Island at Duke

Duke is playing their third game already having beaten Presbyterian by 31 points and Georgia Southern by 43. The Blue Devils have now won 61 straight non-conference home games. Rhode Island advanced to the semi-finals with a two-point victory over Brown. Duke should have no trouble with this team as the Blue Devils are back with all five starters, and they are on a mission to improve their play after several disappointing seasons. While Duke is going to struggle when they face tougher teams, they are averaging 88.5 points per game and holding their weaker opponents to just 29.1% shooting. Under Coach-K, Duke is 17-8 ATS in November home games and 86-61 ATS overall as a home favorite as well as 78-51 ATS off a double-digit home win. I'll ride the Blue Devils to a convincing win and cover here.
