Duke, UK, and TN All Have Brutal 6-8 Game Stretches Coming Up

[DezyVol]

Will be very interesting to see how they do with these stretches. Very tournament-esque. UK’s isn’t quite as tough as Duke and UT’s, as the have a couple gimmies in there, but still tough.

We’ll know a lot more about these three before tournament time.

Predictions for each team in the following stretches:

Duke (2/9 - 2/26): (Prediction 4-2)
@ UVA
@ Louisville
NC St
UNC
@ Syracuse
@ VT

Tennessee (2/16 - 3/9): (Prediction 4-3)
@ UK
Vandy (easy)
@ LSU
@ Ole Miss
UK
Miss St
@ Auburn

Kentucky (2/9 - 3/5): (Prediction 6-2)
@ Miss St
LSU
TN
@ Mizzou (easy)
Auburn
Arkansas (easy)
@ TN
@ Ole Miss

Duke has a rough stretch, Kentucky and Tennessee have to play each other... That's about it.

Duke’stoughest game at UVA. TN’s toughest game at UK. WASH

Duke’s 2nd toughest at Louisville. TN’s 2nd toughest at LSU. Pretty close. Louisville maybe a smidge tougher (though Vols already beat them).

Duke’s 3rd toughest UNC at home. TN’s 3rd toughest UK at home. Vols game rougher.

Duke’s 4th toughest at VT. TN’s 4th toughest at Auburn. WASH.

Duke’s 5th toughest at Syracuse. TN’s 5th toughest Miss St at home. Syracuse maybe slightly tougher.

Duke’s 6th toughest NC St at home. TN’s 6th toughest at Ole Miss. WASH.

Looks pretty close to me.

LSU looks to be a very good team and we play in Baton Rouge.

According to team rankings, Duke has #1 SOS, UK has #9. Didnt see UT anywhere in that Top 10. Cry elsewhere Vols.

It’s natural. We can’t play ourselves, so our SOS is naturally going to suffer. #1problems

Even if we say at UVA is a wash with at UK (which I don’t think it is), NCSU is definitely a notch higher than Ole Miss. Ole Miss isn’t even top 40 on KenPom.

I don’t disagree that NC State is better than Ole Miss, but Duke gets them at home. I’m saying playing NC State at home is similar to playing a road game at Ole amiss.

I also think UVA is slightly better than U.K., but Rupp is far tougher than UVA’s venue.

Good point about getting NCSU at home. That definitely changes things, I read that one wrong.

As for Rupp being far tougher of a venue...I’m agree to disagree on that one. Tougher? Maybe. Far tougher? No.

I think UVa has 6 games against top 15 with 3 on the road coming up.

Only a fan of a mid major would agree with you on the two schedules that aren’t ACC, the other two look like cupcake schedules.

4 of our next 6 are against top 15 with 3 of them on the road

Oh, you root for the university of "we".

That is pretty weak sauce Bert. It wasn't nearly as good as Batman knocking the hell out of Robin.

Lol.... No.

Duke’s 2nd toughest at Louisville. TN’s 2nd toughest at LSU. Pretty close. Louisville maybe a smidge tougher (though Vols already beat them).

UNC will be a much tougher game than Louisville. Also LSU blows.

Not reading the rest, 2 bad takes are enough.
