Baylor vs. Duke CBB Prediction:
Baylor is looking to get back into the win column after this first loss of the season, while Duke looks for their third straight win.
Give me Duke. The Blue Devils haven’t lived up to potential yet this season, however the talent is clearly there. Kyle Filipowski is one the best players in the country and I don’t think Baylor will have an answer for him. It seems like Tyrese Proctor might also give it a go for Duke, which would give them a big boost. The Blue Devils grab a big win from MSG.
