You give me that PJ, yes we beat them easy. You're making the mistake of putting way too much into that first game. This team isn't even close to the same team that it was in November. At best Duke is 5 to 8 points better than us now. If PJ steps up like tonight they are at best even. 26 points and 12 boards will easily cancel out Zion and our supporting cast is better outside their big 3.
Duke is better, but the good news is that UK wouldn't have to play them until the Final Four. That's a good problem to have if you make it that far as a program. Even if UK gets a 2 seed, they're not going to put red hot UK team in Duke's region. Not when it could be a retirement title year for K.
