Just watched Baylor - Illinois, both have good point guards, an inside presence in the post and play defense like their scholarships depended on it...it was a high quality game. Baylor looked legit. We may be in for a rough night against the Ilini...especially of they pound it into the post against Hurt.
Other Games
- Thread starter 1Dukie
- Start date
We do have Tape and Williams. But they can't help from the bench. Coleman too. I guess (hope) we see some of them today.
Gonzaga - Baylor today....1 v 2...should be a great game - update...postponed due to Zags testing positive

Kansas gets the lead with under a min to play against NDST..who is 0-3...and hangs on. NDST choked, with a little help from the zebras
Joe Girard of Syracuse has shot 5 of 25 to open the season against mighty Niagara and Bryant. Which means he will be 11 of 12 against us.

Ga tech on the verge of blowing this game open. Still time left but I thought Terrance Clarke chose Kentucky because he thought Duke was like Carlton fresh prince of bel air
GT playing some good ball on both ends of the court. Well organized and great intensity
It's over. GT 79 UK 62. Saar the WF transfer had 6 points with 4 coming from the free throw line. The roof at Rupp Arena must being coming down ceiling and all. OFC
When you're picking up transfers from Wake your not good
RR is very entertaining tonight. Mostly about getting rid of Cal, OAD, and installing Brad Stephens.
don't hate me for this, but they often sound like us after a loss. Too much yearly roster turnover, not enough sets, lack of upperclassman production, etc.

You only spoke the truth. No difference anymore between the fan bases of the blue bloods.
We have people showing our Ken Pom rating after 2 games, one of those against a nobody, the other a loss. That’s freaking laughable.
Not a fan of Dan Dakich at all, but the troll level against uk is absolutely genius here. I love it. Lol
Serious question, are there even any good teams this year? Seems every other year we hear about there being "no great teams" but this year I have yet to see even 1 team that would make the top 15 in basically any other season. I know people are high on Gonzaga, and they're probably the best team right now, but even their best win was against a Kansas team that could barely fend off an 0-4 mid major squad.
Baylor....i was looking forward to the Zags/Baylor game as they have both shown good depth and overall great basketball at times. Baylor's win vs Illinois was very clinical too - no one star but all around team play. I think we will see how good we are in how well we do vs the Illini.
Outside of those 2, yet to be impressed with the others....dark horse being Iowa with Garza, he's a beast to stop
I know RIGHT! The Phresh Prince is lookin a lil stale
He is sticking it to Cal and UK and I’m loving it
Well I was the one that shared our KenPom rating because I was curious as to what our numbers looked like, but next time, I’ll just ask you.
He scored 25 against Duke, tho
Haha. Do what you want, but a bigger sample size might be better. Factoring in the competition might help too.
Yeah, why would anyone want to discuss stats related to Duke basketball on a Duke messageboard when we have you, chief.
Let's at least wait til tomorrow night to turn on each other.
I have a funny feeling we're going to win.
I have a funny feeling we're going to win.
KemPom, sagarin and other mathematical ratings are useless after two games. Not enough data.
I think they are pretty much useless after 30 games too....don't mean a thing when you play say game #31
This is the worst Kentucky team I’ve seen in my lifetime, and I’m 41. I don’t know how the Duke fans are feeling about the 1 and done’s, but we’re about sick of it. Cal doesn’t even get the top players and they still leave because of the culture. Meanwhile, guys like Mark Few and Jay Wright are making the one and done guys look foolish.
Ironically we have a class of supposed non one and done's (other than Johnson and maybe Brakefield)) which is contributing to our struggles. But I'll take a down year if our guys come back better. I think both teams will get it figured out, but we might be lower seeds than usual.

Not necessarily, but he has gotten people's attention. I don't think any of our guys are ready thus far but that is not the world we live in.
UCLA beat Marquette and has won 5 straight. The Kentucky transfer had 9 points. If he develops into a double digit scorer they are dangerous. he sat out the first few games.
