Oats said we gotta be better defensively against Duke
It looked pretty deep in the first half that they were still in it but the barrage didn’t stop.
To those of you who think that Alabama's going to go cold Saturday, I thoroughly disagree. This was a great shooting practice for Alabama. Now they can know they can light it up in this gym.
They won't be overconfident. They know they're playing the best team in the country on Saturday.
Duke hasn't seen a team like this all year. Alabama is going to give them a brutal wake up call.

The ticky-tack calls on Fla against Queen are criminal
Derik Queen travels every time he touches the basketball.
I do too, they sure don’t look like a team and have proven they don’t get lucky or something, I mean a team could theoretically defend them well enough to force enough misses to lose but it will take a 10/49 type game.
Does Queen travel every time he drives? Sure looks fishy. Maybe just looks like it because of the way he runs.
The SEC is officially the G League lite
They are still whooping their ***. The coach leaving obviously affected Maryland. I mean Florida is a better team, but you can see it in how they played a little.
You know how it goes. Alabama hits 26 threes and our fans are like, "they're going to make three on Saturday."
Alabama wins this game by 2 on a tip-in and the same fans are like, "if they play like that on Saturday and Duke will win by 50."
Protecting the emotions on every flank and at all costs with the ever shifting goal posts of narrative = BBN in a nutshell
This is proving how damn good the SEC was this year. Sick league. It will be remarkable if we can make the Elite 8 having to play a team we have played twice, luckily we matchup well.
SEC moving on. Would love to see Ole Miss win tomorrow
Nelson will be the best matchup flagg sees yet
I'm very happy BYU did not go farther than Pope this year.
Queen's going to finish with the most unimpressive 30 points in tourney history. He can't/won't rebound and just walks up the court after every Florida basket. Just stat-padding.
Hopefully Duke gets physically brutalized by Arizona tonight to soften them a bit for Alabama Saturday.
Yes he travels constantly ... and I find him extremely unlikeable .
I'm just cheering for Duke to have the hardest path possible. That means Florida and Alabama have to win.
The closest Duke has seen to bama….is a healthy UK…. And they couldn’t keep up with the scoring or pace
Not tonight, but a healthy Carr in Rupp, we beat Bama.
Duke has looked really good playing against JV teams in the acc. If they had been in the SEC they would have dropped at least three. That would have made them look more mortal in the eyes of the media.
So much of what we've heard about Duke is totally predicated on a media that continues to ignore the fact that they played in one of the weakest conferences in America.
I'll be honest with you, one of the best things about being a Kentucky fan is sharing in the collective hatred of other programs like Duke with literally hundreds of thousands of Kentucky fans.
It's a powerful, rather beautiful, thing when you think about it.

Video game stuff. Insane!I've been on the Bama bracket train since we got bounced in the SECT. In my one and only bracket, I have Bama beating Duke in the EE, and then us for a fourth time in the national semis. I have Florida beating Auburn on the other half of the bracket (semifinals) and then Bama beating UF for the Natty.
Would love for me to be wrong in UK's favor, but Bama is continuing to look good.
GBB!
Bro I keep forgetting there are more games tonight....
Remember that early SEC overrated Big Ten was best conference garbage. I spent 20 years in Big Ten Country so I need this.
Florida and Alabama both beat really good teams in routes tonight.
If I'm a Duke fan, I'm extremely concerned. Not only do they have to get through Arizona tonight, which is no given, but they have might have the hottest team in the country waiting for them in the Elite Eight. And then potentially Kentucky, Houston, or Tennessee in the Final Four. This is why it's critical that Auburn and Florida make the Final Four as well. We want to stack the deck as much as possible against Duke.
No easy roads for the Jon Scheyer era.
I won't be satisfied until I see Cooper Flagg weeping on the sidelines with a towel over his head as his team loses in the final seconds of a tournament game.

Idk.. we will see how well Bama can shoot over a much more athletic, lengthy and talented Duke team. It's not so much I think Alabama will go cold, but that Duke is going to contest their shots much better than Maryland did.
Also remember the officiating.
