Vegas still favors Duke over Kentucky

Why didn't the program make BCG? Tubby won a title but he had all of Pitino's players, the program made him the head coach of High Point.

Good thing the program was able to make Calipari and not the other way around RollLaugh

Here are the highest winning percentages in NCAA Tournament history. I would note that Loyola-Chicago is ahead of Kentucky.

Duke, 112-38, .747
North Carolina, 124-46, .729
Loyola Chicago, 13-5, .722
UCLA, 106-42, .716
Kentucky, 128-52, .711
Florida, 49-20, .710
Kansas, 107-46, .699
Get to 180 games then we'll talk. :D
 
Obviously those two are better scorers and play-makers than the Duke bigs, but the Duke guys defend and rebound better... I'd actually feel more confident if Washington and Travis are playing together.

Rebounds Per 40 Minutes:
DeLaurier- 12.4
Bolden- 11.0
Travis- 10.3
Washington- 8.3

Blocks Per 40 minutes:
Bolden- 3.0
DeLaurier- 1.8
Washington- 1.2
Travis- 0.1

Also, if those guys are getting lots of touches, I think Duke's chances are actually a little better. The 2 Kentucky bigs aren't shooting off the charts, not anywhere near 60%. And they can get to the foul line, but they're not great free throw shooters. Of Duke's top 8 players last year, 6 of them had a higher true shooting percentage than both Washington and Travis.

Lol.

Bro, you can’t extrapolate Bolden and DeLaurier’s stats over 40 and pretend that it’s an accurate measure.

Bolden/DeLaurier defend and rebound better than Travis and Washington, that's really my main point. That's what they're primarily asked to do. Obviously they won't be playing as many minutes as the Kentucky duo. So while I think Kentucky still has an edge in the paint, I don't think it's as nearly one-sided as some might think it to be; Duke has efficient bigs and we have playmakers to compensate for the inside scoring, bro.
 
How many games does Duke finish behind UVA in the ACC this year? I’ll say 3.
 
He's saying that joke of a conference afforded you several more NCAA Tournament trips since you were the only team in the conference that gave a damn about basketball
Still had to win games in the tournament. It's not UK's fault other teams couldn't make it.

No need for excuse making. Winking
 
Yeah but we’re not a blue blood.

Having that opinion is fine - just as long as you know your original proof is nonsense.

Lmao, a LOAD of Uk fans are just absolutely dogging Jon Rothstein for an opinion. A preseason poll opinion. Who gives a crap? Then you have Matt Jones and Justin Rowland who rile it up by chiming in. The saints of the Uk fanbase. If they don't give their input, then it doesn't get worse. Just like to stir the pot.






And people still wonder why Uk has the worse fanbase and that they live "rent free" in everyone's head. No. I've never seen 2 huge insiders and people that play major roles in fans opinions do what those 2 did. It's a preseason poll.

Just like this is thread is based around a betting website. ONE BETTING WEBSITE.
