Not sure I've ever seen a team mesh so well together in game 1 than I did tonight either. Duke looked mid-season. Scary.

Real scary. I mean.....reaaaaaaaaaaaaal, scary. I cant recall the last time I was that impressed, in a season opener. Just damn.

Sometimes top talent is what wins. I’ve had enough moments where I may have been more experienced, older... and a young guy who was just more talented killed me.

Tre Jones is f’ing HUGE to this Duke team. Cool as the other side of the pillow.

Great shooting by Duke.

Folks impressed by Zion yet? Us Dukies have seen this since Canada. It’s way more than dunking. His (and RJs) ability to finish in crazy traffic and WITH contact is surreal. And a GREAT attitude.

Jack White, all day. 9 pts, 11 boards. Again, a lot of Dukies saw this Duke team as being deep enough in the right way, and K has spoken extensively about that.

Really unselfish.

UK better be thankful for Travis, that man fought.
 
I hope they stay hungry and unselfish all season. Only one game, but wow.
Duke has had the talent the last few seasons, but we weren’t a team.
Maybe this is the season where it comes together.

Zion is like a mix of Lebron and Anthony Mason.

Duke might win by 60
Yeah, like Purdue would have a better chance. Keep rooting for a team that hasn't sniffed a final 4 since Jimmy Carter was in the white house. Go back to you main board where people actually care what you have to say.

I thought that I saw you post as a Notre Dame fan? Are you ND football and Indiana basketball?
 
Don't forget K getting rolled by 30 against UNLV. Only to come back the next season with the same teams to beat UNLV. Cal is gonna have to coach up this team defensively big time or there will be issues all season.
 
Man, that play where Zion just snatched the ball from Richards (I think it was him?) as he went to shoot it... Christ. That was nasty.

There should be some great highlights coming out of that one.
 
Went over to Rafters to see how folks were talking it. There are some miserable motherfers mixed in over there... Morgousky, Cowtown Cat, Cawood... Jesus. All piss and vinegar and bashing every Duke fan for the last few months about how Cam Reddish is basically average and Zion is fat and slow and can’t shoot and will suck when faced with real players and Barrett is overrated and the only way Duke can keep it close is the refs and how UK is going to absolutely DESTROY Duke, even though there was no rational way to compare them and come up with that... just irrational Duke hate like I can’t imagine any adult having. Nobody does over-the-top bitter asshole fans like BBN;)

(Of course, there are plenty of good ones too. A few posted reasonable stuff here and at the Duke forum, even post game.)

To be fair everyone knows RR is a cess pool of delusional homeboard posters without the slightest ounce of rational.

With that being said if you read the game thread every poster was giddy and pounding their chest about what an ass beating it would be. About 4 minutes into the game they began turning in each other like it was the purge.

Yeah, I was really shocked by how overwhelmingly confident UK fans were. I actually picked UK to win, but it seemed like there were SO many UK fans predicting a complete blowout.
