When SFA was down by 4 I tried to bet my neighbor $100 that Duke would win by 20. He wouldn't do it. That pussy could have been $100 richer. Lol
Duke giving Austin all they can handle.

who's the second reliable scorer?
I'll take the blame, had to be up at 3 am this morning so I turned the game off when Duke was up like 11 in the first half. First game I haven't watched in like 10 years, my bad.
In the few minutes I watched it looked like Wendell Moore was shaving points, believe he turned the ball over like 3 possessions in a row. Oh well, the fact that this team was ranked #1 was a joke to begin with so hopefully this humbles the team a bit.
O'Connell and yes he and DeLaurier have been bad. Like really bad. Delaurier looks like a cat on speed playing with a ball of yarn.
Okay, so it looks like we're going to be 39-1. I can live with that.
In all seriousness, I'm surprised more "upsets" like this aren't happening - the "top" college programs lack continuity with all the player shuffling and though talent is always tipped experience and chemistry is not.
Me not even remembering his name is the best analysis of his play you'll ever read.
Not gonna lie. Made me feel way less shitty about UKs loss. It’s still early though, Duke will rebound.
Not sure which one you were assuming I meant, so I'd say our two are Tre and Vernon.
Coming into the year, I viewed Duke as a borderline top 10 team. Nothing I’ve seen has changed that opinion.
Kansas could really add to the buzz if Dayton upsets them today. They looked really good last night.
I'm honestly as excited for this as I was the potential MSU KU game. Dayton looks great.
Pretty much. Although losing to SFA makes me question the legitimacy of being top 10. They started the season ranked 4th simply for ratings. They made it to number 1 by default. They have lots of room to improve, but right now this is a sweet 16 team on a good day.
Check out Goodman's new top 25.
4- Virginia
8- Kansas
13- Duke
17- Kentucky
Unranked- Michigan State
I like Virginia, but I would be surprised as ever if they finish the year in the top 5. And MSU out of the top 25? That's cray-cray.

I sure as shit hope they cool off after last night. They would have been very tough to beat last night against any opponent. We will need to put up some points
I understand the reservations about UVA but this is a historically good defense so far. Fewest points given up through 6 games in the shot clock era. We've given up 256 points in 6 games. That's insane. And we've played 3 top 80 Kenpom teams so it's not complete cupcake city either.
Like he's storing nuts in his mouth all the time. This week it seems to be Dana Altman's.
Defense is super impressive. And still capable of beating anyone. Just not sure if there are enough offensive weapons in the backcourt - especially if UVA is forced to hit a lot of shots from the perimeter. Morsell at least showed promise in the ASU game. Still a good team, but yes, I definitely have reservations about them.
I hope. I have no confidence in UNC. They have looked pretty pedestrian and have the worst offensive start in the Roy Williams era here.
That's the spirit. I said after our loss that this board was the best part about losing and something about gapping assholes is proper etiquette.
I like this angle better.
It is easier to just role with it after a lose. Come here and make fun of yourself and it's better.
We won against ASU and we gave up a 19-0 run LOL. How is that even possible?
3 point shooting is definitely a concern but I also believe that we'll improve. We won't be anywhere near what we were last year but I also don't think we have to be. We have the best 3 point shooter in NCAA history as our coach. Guys will improve from the perimeter. None of the guards have broken shots. Couple that with what's looking to be a down year across the country and UVA could be a 2nd weekend team in March. Could easily see us flaming out in the 1st round though.
This is a house money gap year. Next year we should be REALLY good.
Shock jock type of rankings, but MSU definitely going through some things right meow
I feel like every statement I've made so far this season has been wrong. Nothing goes according to plan. So I'm probably wrong here, too.
I do believe it is a down year in college basketball. So going top 5/10 probably isn't far-fetched. And yes, next year with the incoming class and Sam Hauser, UVA could have something special. ACC in general in going to be loaded next year. Of the top 50 recruits, 40 have committed, and 15 are ACC bound.
IDK if the KU win was luck. It looked to.me like Duke played harder and was better prepared.
When this duke team is clicking, they can beat anyone, but just like UK, KU and MSU, if not, anyone can heat them.
It truly is a down year this year.
and they still lost. I remember a game where Duke shot 28 FT's to Iowa's 4, with 2 of those FT's being Technical foul shots,
Duke always gets the calls, nothing surprises me when it comes to Duke,
Why do UK fans keep harping on the FT shooting disparity? If we'd made 75% of them, we would've comfortably won.
Are they saying we lost despite the refs trying to help us win? I'm really confused why this keeps getting brought up...we're a much more talented team with bigger athletes, of course we're going to be fouled more.

They say that every game, you shouldn't be confused.
You guys just need a better game plan. Before each game, our staff has a nice conversation with the officiating crew.
