Well, at least against Wofford. 34-7 right now. Not so much against Kentucky, but that says a lot about the Cats.

They look so good I expect to see Ghost reappear!

I’m glad to see them pile up the stats for a while. It can only help Kentucky’s ratings.

They're next four opponents are (9)Arizona, (1)Kansas, Seattle, and (5)Auburn. We're about to see who Duke is...
That's a gauntlet. I think they can expose Kansas and dethrone them, but that's a ton of physical teams for those youngguns early in the season.

If they lose a few of those, the ACC might not be strong enough for them to recover their seeding.

UK is definitely a final four team and they are greater










For now
“We are young.”

“We are built for March.”

That use to be our battle cry.

LOL!

But serious!y, I don’t want to see Duke again in March. Two good teams play early and then meet again, that rarely works out for the team that won the first time, especially when the loser is young and talented. Duke is going to get better and better throughout the year.

And I figure that’s what we will see in March. The committee will find a way to put us in the same bracket.

Duke doesn't want to see us again in March. Their fans might but their MASH Team doesn't.

Hope Duke can have a respectable schedule the rest of the way, for our sake.
We have made a huge jump in the rankings, so all we have to do is keep winning. We are not going to fall in the rankings because Duke starts losing. We have enough big games to win in the SEC to not be impacted by whatever happens to Duke. We just need to keep winning so as to control our own destiny.

Duke is a very talented team and really good. I just don't think Sheyer is seasoned enough yet or currently an elite game coach. Losing Roach really hurt them as they don't have a true lead guard.

If they are on fire and feeling it they can pummel anyone, but if they aren't, Sheyer can be out coached readily by another good program. Self and Pearl can coach circles around him, but if all that talent is feeling it, coaching doesn't help much. A "buzz saw" like Cal used to call it.

I am just happy to see Maluach, James and now Ngongba II healthy and playing. Could have really used all three vs UK late in the 2nd half. That loss will haunt me for a while.. Hope we get another shot.
I think your one shot is done. Unless both teams are seeded in the same region, they would not meet until the FF. I’ve seen this type of Duke team many times before and they are a 2nd round flameout guaranteed.

Pooper Flaggz is shooting 23% from three going into this game.
He is 1 for 5 from 3.

Pooper can't shoot. What use is he really in the NBA?
If that 3pt% dont come up guess what?
**** out of luck Mister Number 1 draft pick Pooper ****.

Agreed, but the Duke win is in the bag, so while we wait to earn our stripes against the remaining good teams on our schedule I hope Duke does well. Other than that, I hope they lose their first round games in the post season 😁

Duke didn't crack 100, so they obviously haven't fully recovered from the recent woodshed treatment.
