If UK could edge their way into a 2 seed and have Duke as the 3, that would be terrific. Probably wouldnāt even end up playing them, they donāt look like a 2nd weekend team. They arenāt bad, they just donāt have much depth and they play too much through Filipowski. They have a point guard who is in love with his 3 point shot. Proctor is a good shooter, but heās not the shooter he thinks he is. No shock that when Proctor plays well and his shot is falling, Duke tends to win. But I think Proctor gets a bunch of opportunities in the ACC and at home to play comfortably. Heās just not that hard to make uncomfortable though, especially now that he has to play away from the friendly confines.
Now that the regular season is over and the tournament is about to start, we have the luxury to sit here and say ok whatās your 3rd best win? Clemson? Syracuse? Wake Forest? They beat Michigan St. So that makes their resume Baylor and 4 bubble teams (3 at home, 1 neutral). Best road win is what? @Pitt? @NC State? Whatās Kentuckyās 3rd best win? Gotta be @Auburn. Then thereās road wins over Miss St. and Florida, and a home run out win against Alabama. I donāt think Kentucky has a ton of great wins, but their resume still blows Dukeās out of the water.
