Need Grayson Allen to create a Team Turmoil.Kid is a monster. We can only hope K mishandles him like he has the past couple years.
I believe it is spelled Kfheisbfkabskgnsiwski.They were supposed to be the greatest team in ncaa history last year, and we saw how that turned out. Why would this year be any different. The only way they win ncaa this year is just like nc won it last year, the reffs not allowing them to loose. Refs pulled out Arkansas, Kentucky, and Gonzaga games. They were not allowed to beat nc. The only way duke wins this year is the same way. This is sick, espn force feeding me the acc, just like they did the big east for 30 years. I hated the big east and I hate the acc. Bilas has a lot to do with me hating the acc. Here's hoping there is a bunch of ego clashes on duke this year, and the biggest ego of them all their coach [ however you spell his name ] , can't handle it and goes riding off into the sunset for more surgery of some kind.
This year is, or could be, different because they don't have two substantial injuries, Allen will probably keep his act clean (as he did towards the end of the season) and Coach K probably won't take an 8-game leave.
Duke gets helped by the NCAA in numerous ways, we know this. That team last year, is talented enough to win it all. Duke is a 1 seed, a high 1 seed, if they avoid those above issues. That team walks to the F4 most likely, and get their usual help to the title.
We need to stop pretending that last seasons wasn't, in large part, an anomaly. Duke will not have near the roadblocks it had last year.
How was it an anomaly? They have advanced past the Sweet 16 3x in 13 years. Don't let the perception fool you.
Some of you act like they're just now recruiting well in Durham.
Yet, K is supposedly the GOAT. Great coach, no doubt. The GOAT?! I'm not so sure about that.UK & Duke have the top 2 classes every year. Good post!
Not only that...5 times past Sweet 16 since 2000. Perception is they are in title game every year
He will get cleared. It's the reason he chose them.He has to become cleared before he can help them. Not sure that is a sure thing
I've posted before I expected him to go to 'Zona or USC. What you say makes sense. He probably has the best shot of being declared eligible at Duke. Cal knew he'd never be cleared to play for UK.He will get cleared. It's the reason he chose them.
I don't think this team is anyone's 2 seed. I've got a real good feeling about usI hope we are their 2 seed
It would be hilarious of he didn't get cleared. 3 schools in 3 years, decides to reclassify this late, and to a school that's supposed to have high standards. Doesn't pass the smell test.I've posted before I expected him to go to 'Zona or USC. What you say makes sense. He probably has the best shot of being declared eligible at Duke.

Yes. Also, great post.What makes anyone think that the coaching staff at Duke can win with mostly Freshmen?
They have yet to prove themselves with a roster of OAD's.
How can we diminish with John Calipari does every year by assuming another program can have success with our formula? Duke was a better team last year. Would Cal have taken that roster past the first tournament weekend? Don't buy the hype that because they have recruited a team like ours that they have the ability to win a championship.
No other program takes Freshman and defends and plays team basketball like your Kentucky Wildcats. Duke will play AAU ball with everyone worried about minutes and NBA futures. UK will be a much better team if we meet in March.
You're probably right. I just want to play them in the tournament. Bad. Real bad.I don't think this team is anyone's 2 seed. I've got a real good feeling about us
lol. maybe we won't have as many injuries. maybe we actually have a true point guard. A lot of people are going to be in for a rude awakening comparing this team to last year.lol.They were supposed to be the greatest team in ncaa history last year, and we saw how that turned out.

didn't duke win a title in 2015 with our best players being freshman ?
I thought allen was your pre season all american point guard.lol. maybe we won't have as many injuries. maybe we actually have a true point guard. A lot of people are going to be in for a rude awakening comparing this team to last year.lol.
They also had quite a bit of help. Their road that year was.... Idgaf about the RPI numbers and all that BS. They played San Diego State, Utah and Gonzaga to reach the Final Four. Really?!That Duke team had some experience though. Senior Quinn cook, Junior Amile Jefferson, junior Plumlee in a back up role gave them important minutes at times. Sophomore Matt Jones probably had his best season for them as well. As far as performance/expectations.
It was a really impressive job by K with them only having like 8 scholarship players. The upper class men were important though.
Devil's advocate: the reason it may be different this year is you wouldn't expect the greatest or second greatest coach in college hoops history to have two teams fall apart in back to back years.They were supposed to be the greatest team in ncaa history last year, and we saw how that turned out. Why would this year be any different....
You may be right. I, for one, don't buy into the hype. Duval can't shoot, Gracie is a head case and Trent is way overrated. We pretty much know what Bolden brings. Carter and Bagley are legit, but Bagley isn't gonna be as good as AD. Are they a top 4 or 5 team? Sure they are. I just don't see a dominant team. Definitely don't see 40-0. I think MSU, Arizona and possibly UK and KU are just as good, if not better. JMO.I really hate to say this, but I think we should prepare ourselves for Duke to go 40-0 this year. The ACC is weak and their roster is insane. Bagley is probably going to have an Anthony Davis type season and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. We are gonna feel like the Kansas and UL fans felt in 2012. They had very very good teams that year, but Davis and UK were just on another level.
I don't think chemistry is going to be a problem with this team. Carter, Trent, Duval, and Bagley (man it makes me throw up just to type all of those names on the same roster) all know each other and I think Gracie Allen will be a grownup at last to pull it all together. Can't judge them by last year when they didn't have a true point guard.
And it's more than likely UK will be the #2 seed in their region, in Atlanta. This may be the one year I hope for UK to get the #1 seed in the West.
