ESPN will give this game a narrative either way. If Duke wins it’s because they’re so good they did it without Zion. If they lose it’s because they didn’t have their star. Might as well hope for UNC to blow them out.

A North Carolina win would move them that much closer to passing us up on the seed list. I don't want Duke to win but I don't want Carolina to pass us up either.

Luke Maye is playing like Frank Kaminsky out there. UK will beat Duke if they play in March or April.

As good as Barrett and Reddish are, Duke really appears to have been a one-man show all year based on how disjointed they look without Zion.

If he’s out for year, I wonder if they can re-group? They’ll have to have a 180-degree change of philosophy, strategy, & tactics. Won’t be easy even for a HofF coach.

Zion or no Zion, I really want to see UNC win.

I hope and pray that Travis’ knee heals quickly and the young man is able to get back out there. UK will need him in both tournaments.

I hate both teams but they are playing at Duke and it would be sweet to see them blown out at home

I don’t think they would be all that good without him. They’d be top 25, probably but more like a four or five seed quality team. He is their best player by far on offense and defense. He is their best rebounder. He drags their otherwise pedestrian 2 point shooting percentage several points higher.

I have had 2 pairs of Nike's do that. Probably had more wear and tear on mine but still should not happen.

LeBron is in a corner somewhere in Cameron Indoor crying his little eyes out. His Lakers suck, AD ain't going to LA, and his Daddy, Coach K, is getting his *** handed to him tonight.

In an unprecedented move. The NCAA will cancel all remaining games and award Duke the National Championship. They were clearly a once in a lifetime team. Jay Bilas said so.

I cannot pull for UNC*** under any circumstances. They wrote the book on organized, institutionalized cheating. And got away with it. They should burn that school to the ground, piss on the ashes, and salt the earth.

It's that quality overseas stitching lol. Two pairs of my running shoes have holes in the mesh. The basketball ones I've had held up good but the mesh kind wear out fairly fast. Wouldnt expect a brand new pair to do that though.
