No one cares what he thinks. If we were talking about shit offensive teams then maybe we’d let him join the discussionPer @jhmossy via a PM it will be Duke.

I’ll have to respectfully disagree. Good defense or elite defense and subpar offense will get you far in March.Good offense beats good defense every time!! If Duke just has a marginal improvement of the defensive side of the ball they will start smashing even good opponents,
Honestly that would’ve been the most astute basketball take you’ve ever shared, so I definitely buy it’s made up.I can't even PM bruh. Dude is just making shit up. Biggest loser on this board.

Oh, please regale me with your triumphant fantasy football stories (again)Sweet burn bruh. Maybe you should wait until you're in the black on sports betting before you chime in.

Duke is a team that just needs to improve its d just a little, because they are so good at scoring. It's why teams like Virginia will never win it all. Have to be able to put the ball in the basket without it looking painful.I’ll have to respectfully disagree. Good defense or elite defense and subpar offense will get you far in March.
Oklahoma. They don’t play defense
There was a tweet, not too long ago, that showed the "good" offensive teams beat the "good" defensive teams 2-to-1 in college basketball on the avg.
Prob two seasons ago.. I'm sure there's a site that'd show whether that were (still) true or not ...
((This is where you guys step in))
That's interesting. If that "good" offensive team is elite inside and out, that would certainly make sense. I think of '15 Wisconsin who did it to '15 UK. Hell, Norte Dame nearly knocked off UK too. I remember Wisconsin and Norte Dame being the best offensive teams that season.
Defense is what won the game against ND down the stretch and would of help beat Wisconsin if the Harrison twin knew how to follow a shot clock...
I would say Duke, especially if Bagley were to get in serious foul trouble.
You guys took turns blasting on me when I called out K and Duke for playing that shitty zone.I have seen every Duke game. And not that many non Duke games. I will say Duke.

Can’t win a championship without being able to play tight man (I realize Syracuse won in ‘03, but let’s be honest...it shouldn’t even be legal to play 4 Big 12 teams in one tournament. That’s 3 automatic wins, with vs KU almost being an automatic win). Defense win championships, and zone is not defense.
You know Duke played zone in 2015 right? Can't remember what happened that year.
You guys had a real rough defense for most of that year too iirc. Don't think you have a defender on the level of Justice Winslow this year though.
Kansas adding de Souza and Preston will eliminate this notion that they are a terrible defensive team
I wasn't talking about his defense. I am talking about losing his 20 PPG and 10 RPG.Bagley is a mediocre defender. Carter getting in foul trouble is more of a problem as he's the best shot blocker on their team.
So two freshman are going to improve the defense that much? Doubtful. Takes a while to understand help defense and rotations. Most freshman really struggle. See Kentucky and Duke.
That’s funny. They played MSU in the Final Four in 2015 and I don’t think I saw them play any zone.You know Duke played zone in 2015 right? Can't remember what happened that year.
