Gonzaga is never going to win a title. Thank you.
This makes the third straight year Duke is the preseason favorite...we'll see
Duke has the top 3 NBA prospects and Tre Jones is damn good.
I think Kentucky fans should be approaching this game with a little more caution.
I've seen predictions of double digit win for the Cats.
Zion Williamson is really, really good.
I'm sure if dook is the preseason favorite three years in a row and fails to make the Final Four each year, the press will eat K alive.
You're right...both teams will be good this year.
My prediction: Cats by 10+ on November 6th
Lol, they are only top 3 in one metric, which is known to have major Duke Bilas. Woops, I meant bias.
We have 4 guards that are all better than Tre Jones, plus a 5th not far off that we can keep running at him. No one in America is concerned with Duke's backcourt. It's garbage and has no depth.
Zion is good, as well as Reddish and Barrett, but many teams have other really good players, and several of them have really good players with experience and the ability to play defense. Duke has none of this. Duke has no depth, 1 decent shooter and 3 good players who play the same position. I don't think you all will suck, but I don't think the rest of the country is really as fearful of Duke as Duke and ESPN want them to be. You have nice players, but a nice team you do not have.

Zion is a freak athlete. Which basketball skills is he elite at? Rebounding, ball handling, mid range jump shot, defense, shot blocking, help side defense, boxing out, penetrating, passing, three point shooting? Just curious to hear your answer.
The OP can’t shut up about Duke. He thinks preseason Vegas numbers mean something. The teams with the best recruiting classes are the odds on favorite just about every single year. It doesn’t mean squat.
I don’t disagree that against teams who don’t have great athletes he will score in bunches. His defense is a big? As well as how he will rebound against top level bigs. He will have a good stat line average I’m sure but he is a very undersized power forward with elite level athleticism. Doesn’t scare me a bit. I’m not saying he isn’t a freak of nature because he is.
The press will never eat K dead or alive, as stupid as they are, I don't think they will eat a rat.
Vegas also knows who gets the easiest path to the title every year. Go play in traffic, Dukie.
I prefer to approach it with no respect for Duke, it's coach or it's fans like I always do.
Williamson’s father had his hand out, according to FBI investigators...why is he still in college? What did dUKe have to pay out in order to sign him?
A very troubling situation when you have evidence pointing to clear recruiting violations and no one is willing to enforce the policies.

Tre Jones is a better point guard than anyone Kentucky has.
Check out his EYBL efficiency numbers. They are some of the best in history.
Rebounding is plus.
Ball handling for a big guy is plus.
Mid range is good.
Shot blocking is good not great but the ones he does get are emphatic
Penetration, he is unstoppable.
2nd best passer on Duke right now
We will see about defense and 3 point shooting.
NBA scout at recent Duke scrimmage said playing against Zion "wasnt even fair"
Boy, you're outta your damn mind...gtfo here.
Are you kidding ? He hasn't even won an acc championship n like 8 years and the press still loves him. The press will worship him no matter how many of his so called greatest teams in history get beat early in the ncaa tournament.
You're here as a pUKe fan trying to convince Kentucky they should be worried about pUKe but nobody's biting. Looks like you're basically talking to yourself.
Show me proof that his driving is unstoppable against decent competition. All I saw are a bunch of videos against shitty competition. Don’t get me wrong, he is a train, but without helps from the refs, he will have a hard time getting around quicker defenders with good foot work.
As far as Tre being a better point than anyone we have, that is laughable. He wouldn’t start on UK.
Who was defending Zion in this scrimmage?
He did it in AAU. He was unstoppable. That is the best in his class in the nation. He was also MVP at the top 100 camp.
He is very quick and his handles are very good for a guy his size.
And have you seen Tre Jones' efficiency stats in EYBL? I don't think you have.
When was the last time a team lost all five starters from the year before and cut down the nets?
I can't think of one.
Odds are against Duke doing it this season.

I love when people who are new to basketball come here trying to tell us what's really what. Boy, you on some good crack if you truly beleive that. Ashton, Quade, Herro, Quickly, Johnson are about to be facing assault charges for the damage they are going to inflict on that poor kid

Have you seen the Grayson video of Dukes BBM rip-off where all the Dukies unite into one big douche bitch fest? Were you clapping as hard as you could?
They won't eat him alive, but they would still blow him if he was dead.
Zero chance Duke makes the final four this year. ZERO. I called it the last two years and I’m calling it again this year.
As pretty much a lifelong westerner I find it interesting that Gonzaga and Nevada are in a lot of people’s top 5. Of all the schools out here Nevada has never been my list of likely’s for that. Gonzaga sure for a while now, but I’m fairly certain I’d never heard of it in 1977. As long as they don’t stand in our way I’m a Wolfpack fan this year. Oh wait they will “play” CSU. To be kind.
