How perfect would that be for a first big win?
Fair thought. My counter argument would be, we are only going to have practices and scrimmages before we play Duke. A couple exhibition games as well.My concern is this team peaking too early because of how old it is. We usually see younger teams like Duke take their lumps early. But then round into form come March. With an older team it could be the opposite.
And Duke doesn't really follow the Calipari OnD model. New team every year. They retain fringe guys for the most part.

It more so has to do with potential. With the younger teams the younger players get better and better. Usually, as the season goes on. Older players are what you see is what you get.Fair thought.

I would be very surprised if a team full of new players, even older ones, are playing better together at the beginning of the seasons instead of 30 games into it.
You rent that cherry picker or own it? 12-11 all time.Would improve the record to 3-9 against Duke since 1979.
Hes supposed to be the next generational talent, better than zion. Drawing comparisons to KD.Duke will be favored but I like our portal guys more than theirs. We have a more balanced roster too. I think Cooper Flagg is good, but is he the best freshman since Zion like some are saying?
What’s the overall? Wins/natties?Would improve the record to 3-9 against Duke since 1979.

I do think we beat Duke. Simply because we will be so damn old and experienced.
But I don't like how a rematch would go in March or Feb.
"So damn old".
What a dumb take. But considering the source, no surprise. IF Duke beats us, you'll be one the the first to post negativty like always.
When did I say we are too old? I said so damn old in a good way. As it relates to taking on Duke’s freshmen. Get some reading comprehension, baller."We're too young"
"Were too old"
"We should have hired Oats because I said so!"
"What's Barnhart's phone number??! How dare he hire Pope!!"
Runnin' Clown show
Better watch it they will accuse you of living in the past…. That’s all these fans of these other schools do… That’s what makes us who we are is the whole body of work!!!!You rent that cherry picker or own it? 12-11 all time.
It's a common tactic with Duke fans. Claim dominance over an arbitrary ''era''. Uconn fans do it too.
To Duke fans basketball started when Coach K was hired. To Uconn fans it started when Calhoun was hired.
Freshman loaded teams have sank as of late in the tournament too!Duke will be stacked with young talent, but in game 1 our grown men team could very much beat them on experience alone. Weve seen frosh loaded teams sink early for a long time now.
LmfaoThere's about a 96% chance we won't win a title every single year. 4% that we'll win one.
Imagine being so pathetic as to just take the 96% and permantly complain. What a wimpy way to go.
Is this accurate? So, the Skal team and the Shot heard round the Bluegrass are the only wins?Would improve the record to 3-9 against Duke since 1979.
Mainly if Cal is coaching.We usually see younger teams shit their pants during March, usually.
Yup. Only Tubby and Cal have beaten Duke since Hall did in 1978.Is this accurate? So, the Skal team and the Shot heard round the Bluegrass are the only wins?
I will, but will be lowering expectations mightily.How about the opposite. What if Duke kills us? Will everyone stay on board? I will.
Based on 1 game? That’s weak. It’s a long season and I still don’t get why it’s a make or break game. 🤷♂️I will, but will be lowering expectations mightily.
If they would have kept Roach and Mark Mitchell I would say yeah but only retaining 2 players they have a lot to adjust too as well, that transfer they got last will help them immensely but I think we have a good chance.My concern is this team peaking too early because of how old it is.

There’s at least one clown in this thread that will have more fun here if Duke wins. He does after every UK loss. #WeaselHow about the opposite. What if Duke kills us? Will everyone stay on board? I will.

With the experience on the floor, we shouldn't get steamrolled. I'm talking by 18+Based on 1 game? That’s weak. It’s a long season and I still don’t get why it’s a make or break game. 🤷♂️
