USC Upstate vs Duke Key Stats

Brevard was the opponent for the South Carolina Upstate's season opener, and they were successful in winning 90–42. The Spartans led 47-18 at the break and never trailed en route to a straightforward victory. Although USC Upstate didn't exactly have a standout player, five different players finished the game with at least 11 points.

The game's top scorer, Floyd Ridaeu Jr., finished with 12 points in 24 minutes. The Spartans' defense was good in the first game, but they face a far tougher test in this one and must rise to the occasion.

On the other end of this contest is Duke, which started its campaign by defeating Jacksonville 71–44. They led 42-26 at the break, but they only scored 29 points in the second half, so they need a better second half to win this game. Mark Mitchell, a forward, scored 18 points after playing 30 minutes.

Guard Jeremy Roach contributed 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in 32 minutes of action as well. Four different players scored at least 10 points in their final tally. Dariq Whitehead, a star freshman, is still recovering from surgery; therefore, it's not anticipated that he will be able to play in this game.


USC Upstate vs Duke Best Picks and Prediction

In their previous five games overall, USC Upstate has gone 4-1 against the spread. In their last five games, Duke has gone 4-1 against the spread. In the Spartans' last seven games, the over is 6-1. In USC Upstate's last 17 away games, the over is 14-3. Following a victory by more than 20 points in a straight-up game, the Blue Devils have gone 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven contests.

The score for this game will be lower. Duke's defense was strong in the previous game, and South Carolina Upstate will have a hard time scoring in this one. The Upstate defense won't be particularly strong, but they'll slow Duke down enough to keep the score in this game low. For the Blue Devils, Whitehead's absence is a major blow. To win, bet on the underdog here.

Pick: Under 147.5 (-105)
