I feel you UK & Duke this year sure ain't what we thought it'd be :( at least Duke still seems title capable. KU & UK if the guys return that should itll be KU, UK & Duke back to normal next year.
 
UK is going to the NIT, no way they win more than two games the rest of the way.

Duke is still final four capable, they have the best coach and a guy that doesn’t make excuses like Calipari. Kansas I think is a second weekend team.
 
Duke's issue is effort right now, it's piss poor. Don't know enough about the other 2 to critique them.
 
Duke has the best chance because of Bagley and their offense, but they'll have to score 90+ points to win later round games because their defense is turrible.

Doesn't help when you can make a case all 5 starters for Duke are net negative defenders.

Kentucky just sucks. It's what happens when you have a team full of freshman with no elite one.
 
Every game for Kansas is 50/50. Better teams seem to be our forte—-so look for some pissant nobody to knock us off before we play anybody with a pukse

I can't even bring myself to put "team" and "Kentucky" in the same sentence. Nothing but a bunch of selfish, undisciplined individuals. Meh, I'm just gonna drive this to the bucket and pick up another charge instead of dishing it to that wide open dude... or maybe I'll try a put back when there are 4 defenders around the rim and get that shit jammed down my throat.

Yeah they are but imo that's effort related. There is a pattern in almost every Duke game... Piss poor defense, turnovers, get down big then decide to play hard on both ends of the floor the last 10 minutes. That tells me the ability is there defensively, they just don't do it for anywhere close to 40 minutes.

K has had frosh playing major roles before, but now that he is playing nearly entirely frosh he's learning it's not easy to get them to play defense. It's going to be the same way next year, no matter how ridiculously talented that bunch coming in is. Montgomery should be a big piece because I doubt K wants to rely only on Bolden and DeLaurier inside.

Yeah this team's ceiling is higher than next year's imo. Recruiting titles are neat and everything but need some people to stick around, develop, and lead.

Kentucky has no floor leader and crap shooters.

Duke doesn’t stop dribble penetration at all.

Kansas frontcourt sucks.

They’re all inherently flawed.
 
Duke is capable of losing 1st round or winning it all. All depends on defense and which Grayson Allen shows up.

KU capable of making the elite 8 (can't get past the E8 under Self) but far more likely to lose 1st or 2nd round because KU won't take early rounds seriously their opponent will play with 100x more effort.

UK is a 2nd round or Sweet 16 team. If they past the Sweet 16 it's because Kevin Knox went off. Their defense will get them past weaker teams in the 1st and maybe even 2nd round. Don't see them getting past Sweet 16 though.
 
itll be KU, UK & Duke back to normal next year.
F*ck that! I want it NOW!
