If VCU should beat Duke is it too early for

I'd be curious to see what percentage of Duke's last 10 years of games, down to the minute, where they had less fouls or FTAs than the other team.. Has to be sickening.

Duke's not looking all that great, has to make you wonder about our win over them.

UK will be fine this year but I wasn't impressed at all with Duke Tuesday. I think they really struggle this year. UK did some really nice things even against what might be a subpar Duke team. They still have a couple pros on that squad.

I know one that that joke of a team down the road isn't beating duke anytime this year!
 
VCU just didn't believe, in their guts, that they could win the game. Ergo . . . they didn't.
 
Allen should get an Oscar for his Acting performance,Head snapping,Flopping,and such.Basketball Skills,not so much,feasting on mid-majors doesn't impress me a bit.
 
On ball defenders too. We didn't let him get easy buckets.

This. VCU didn't have that combination Kentucky does. But I don't think anybody does.

They certainly believed for 30 minutes or so. Then the shots stopped falling (combination of better Duke defense and good missed open looks) and that was that.
 
I don't want them to lose because it's going to devalue our win.
Yep, I must admit, I was hoping they'd win. I would hate for that win to mean so little.

By the way, Grayson Allen scored 30 tonight off the bench. He averaged 27 the first 2 games of the season. So I think we should feel pretty good about our defense when we're focused.
 
Mostly because this forum talks about basketball while the LSU forum I normally post on only talks anything but college basketball.

And to think Ben Simmons went to play ball at a foosball school to never be heard from again,thought you were a Duke Fan,a Bayou Bengal

K isn't as talented as Calipari at getting freshmen to be cohesive right off the bat,one and dones are not an easy game to play,Calipari makes it look easy,but it's tough

Can't argue with that. Allen won't have that bad a game the rest of the season and the credit goes to Kentucky for having the wings to be physical with him outside and then having the quality big guys to wall off his driving lanes once he got inside.

9/10 posts on that site aren't even about sports, that's what I like about it.

This is K's first year after a freshmen exodus (only 3 players), but he's doing pretty well so far.
