Wow, if Arkansas sucks, what does that say about UK

Very few teams beat Auburn on their court.
Baylor has 9 losses and that was a neutral court game.
UK's best 4 wins are easily better than duke's.
Who has duke beaten this calendar year?
Baylor only has 8 losses and that's with playing in the best conference in the country, The Big 12.

I'm not disputing that UK has better wins than Duke. We're 11-6 in Quad 1 and Quad 2 games while UK is only 7-7 which is why Duke is a seed line higher.

Duke does have solid wins this year vs Wake Forest, Clemson, @Pitt and @VT.

Honestly UK should be a 5 seed and not a 4 seed based on the resume and metrics. You're getting a slight bump due to your impressive H2H wins vs UNC, @Auburn and @Florida.

Not sure what any of that has to do with how duke matches up against physical teams. Arkansas is very physical and duke has always struggled with that.
@ExitFlagger you hear that? Arkansas is so physical which is why they're a 14-15 team this year since all those teams can't handle their amazing physicality.

Duke would outrebound the Hogs and get them into serious foul trouble. They're careless with the ball too so we'd like get a bunch of transition points and then there would be a massive edge in 3 point shooting.

For once, Duke doesn't just allow speedy guards to blow by us and score with our strong D at the point of attack so Arkansas would struggle to score vs us.
 
Duke's shots didn't fall in the 1st half but the ball movement throughout the game was good, they didn't turn the ball over, rebounded extremely well and then scored on like 2/3rds of their possessions in the 2nd half.

So it's okay for you to make excuses for Duke looking average, but I'm just out of my mind for sticking up for UK? Got it.
I'm now starting to think you're just a troll. NCST's perimeter defense is suspect so it was a game for our guards. There's other games where we have Flip and Young score in the post more.
I'm the troll??? Read the thread title and check who started it. You have been trying to pile on and you want me to ignore Duke's bruises. I'm a troll because I'm not just agreeing with you.
That pork chop DJ Burns has great post moves for his size and he was on fire but Duke made him take tough shots and then he ran out of energy in the 2nd half.
The Pork chop would have gotten stuffed by UK's bigs over and over. Duke doesn’t have rim protection like UK has, they might have better.post play (didn't see much of that last night), but they don't have shot blockers like UK has. Auburn has a much better center (Broome) and UK stymied him. The pork chop should never.have owned duke the way he fid.last night.
You need to stop focusing on UK and start looking at your own squad. Duke has issues and their ceiling is about 3 floors lower than UK's. At least UK can outscore good teams, duke doesn’t have that tool in their bag
DJ Horne, NCST's most dangerous lead guard, was locked down by Proctor most of the night and had only 8 points that game. He had scored in double digits the last 10 games and had 20+ in 8/10 games.
Am I supposed to be impressed? NC State isn't athletic, they're not deep, they don't have anyone that can take good degenders off the bounce, they can't rebound and they can't hit feee throws. How duke didn’t win by 30, boggles my mind.
A lot of credit goes to Arkansas, a 14-15 team, for playing with maximum effort but a Final 4 contender withstands an early blow and then destroys a terrible team like that in the 2nd half. You let the Hogs go on a massive run and go up by 9 with less than 10 minutes to go.
Is this your first year watching college basketball?
Are you saying this about Arizona when they lost to Stanford by 15, or lost to Oregon State?
Are you like this with Purdue when they lost to Nebraska?
Are you like this with KU when they lose to West Virginia? Everybody is losing. UK actually won the game by 9. UK swept Arkansas, duke lost to Arkansas. You have zero argument here.
Finally offensive talent prevailed and the Hogs came crashing down to earth but UK loses that game to any team that's actually in the tournament field.
Oh really? How did UK have Alabama down by 37 and win by 22? UK won at Auburn, @ Florida, @ Mississippi state and beat uNC, all those teams are better. UK won the game by 9 against an athletic team that played great. Duke lost at home to Pitt and.los
t to Wake, two teams UK wouldn't lose to, but here you are trying to shot on a team that won a game by 9.
Look at what UConn did to Seton Hall on Sunday. Look at what Duke did to UVA and NC State the last few days. Look at what Arizona did to the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. That's what elite teams do in March.
Matchups matter.
Look what duke didn’t do to Arkansas.
Lookhow badly UConn got beat at Creighton
Look what Arizona didn't do at Oregon State and Stanford. It’s funny how you focus on everyone else's positives, but only focus on a bad game UK played. Yet, I'm the troll?
They don't let terrible teams like Arkansas hang around for most of the game.
But they did. Stanford and Oregon State are awful teams and tjis is still hilarious to me, duke lost to Arkansas, yeah, they took care of UVA and NCST, but they lost to the team UK beat by 9 and you're shitting on UK. I can't believe this conversation is still happening.
We still talking about a loss in November? Or a game in January where Duke was missing 2 of its best players and before McCain emerged?
We still talking about a 9 point win for UK that you guys are making dound like a 50 point loss?
Pitt is #44 in NET and #43 on KenPom. They're not even a bad team. Putting them in the same sentence as Arkansas is such an insult to Pitt.
But they are a bad team and duke shouldn’t have lost to them. They do nothing well.
Pitt is as good as South Carolina. Since you're a massive SEC homer, I bet if Duke lost to South Carolina at home you would never criticize that loss.
You are out of your mind. South Carolina has a defense that would lock Pitt and/or duke right down. You hetter hope duke doesn’t draw south carolina. I'm just telling you. Duke won't win that game.

Georgia scored 96 in Rupp. St Joe scored 88. Marshall scored 82. Gonzaga 89. UNCW 80. You don't have to be a worldbeater to put up points on Kentucky, and Arkansas obviously isn't close to a worldbeater.

Obviously UK likes to play fast and most teams don't try to slow the game down against them, so it's no shocker they are involved in a lot of high scoring games. Yes, their defense sucks ass, but they could have the same shitty defense and play at a snail's pace and give up half the amount of points.

Duke couldn't handle it, so I don't see what's so funny.
 
Why just this calendar year and not the entire season.

Must be a reason you made that statement.
We can do that too, but I was simply illustrating the fact that duke hasn't played anyone with a pulse, besides unc, in 3 months.
 
Don’t believe you.

Why don't you go ahead and list those quad 1 games duke has played. You continue to hide behind the phrase "quad 1". Go ahead, list them.

I have news for you, playing Pitt at home is not the same as playing Auburn on the road, but the quads will group them that way.

Arkansas isn't any of those things either and is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NCAA.

NCST is #76 in KenPom and Arky is #116.
NCST is #79 on T-Rank and Arky is #119.

Duke beats the Wolfpack by 15 on the road while Kentucky struggles and only beats Arky by 9.

This was a supposed lookahead spot for Duke to on NC State's Senior Night before the big matchup vs UNC.

Those losses happened ages ago in December and January. Nebraska is a tournament team this year so again that's not a bad loss for Purdue.

Wake is undefeated at home and Duke is the only team to not lose by DD there yet Kentucky wouldn't lose to Wake?

You are out of your mind. South Carolina has a defense that would lock Pitt and/or duke right down. You hetter hope duke doesn’t draw south carolina. I'm just telling you. Duke won't win that game.

This isn't the Sindarius Thornwell USC from 2017, its just a solid USC squad that's nothing special.

Duke would beat @Rod Dangerfield and his Cocks by double digits in the tournament.

1. Baylor @ MSG

3. @Pitt
4. @VT
5. Clemson at home

Wake is #31 in the NET so if they beat GT this week they should move back into the top 30. Duke beat Wake at home.

Again, matchups matter. UK beat Arkansas by 9, but beat Alabama by 23.
UK lost at LSU on a tip in, but beat Auburn on their home court by 11 and never trailed.
UK lost to UNCW, but beat the Tar Heels and led by double digits for most of the game.
Welcome to real life college basketball.

That’s a joke. Pitt isn't even getting into the tournament and they're a quad 1 win???????

Virginia Tech is 16-13 and in 10th place in the acc. Another team not getting in the tournament.

Michigan State is going to have 13 losses going into the tournament… if they actually make it. They're only 2 good wins are Baylor and Illinois at home.

Baylor is the only legit win there that is impressive in the least and duke played Baylor before Baylor hit the stride they are on now.
Shit, Baylor lost to Michigan state by 24 points 4 days earlier. Michigan state sucks.

You said duke was 11-6 in quad 1, why didn't you list the others?

UK's quad 1 wins, without looking are miles better than that shit.
@Auburn
NC
Alabama
@Florida
@Mississippi State

I'll put those 5 up against duke's any day. All Q1 teams are not equal and you know it, which is why you keep trying to stand behind that quad 1 language.

Losing to Nebraska is still a bad loss, they're getting in the tournament because the BIG10 is weak. Zach Edey is a generational talent in his 3rd year with a veteran backcourt.
Arizona lost at Oregon state on 1/25 and lost to Stanford on 12/31, those are pretty damn recent. Hell, they won @ Duke in early November, but they're not good enough to win at Stanford? Yikes.
