Duke Basketball this year.


Feb 16, 2019, 7:15 PM

We all know they are talented, but I think I have come to the conclusion that they are a lock to win it all. They are just too good. It's rare watching a team this good. I wish the players in college basketball stayed for 3 years, because we would have witnessed some amazing stuff.

I heard that all fall about a team also.***

And we all know how that turned out in the end...

I feel the same Carlsbad . They'll have a strong season ending run and win it . Coach K's experience with that talent ? Almost a done deal IMO .

It’s hard to believe they’ve lost 2 games.

I know they have issues at the FT line and 3pt shooting isn't quite as strong as it has been in the past I think. If they had a JJ Reddick in that mix that team would be an all time great.

if they don't shoot well from 3, they are beatable

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Incorrect. They're the worst 3 Point shooting team in ACC


Feb 17, 2019, 3:30 AM

they missed 13 of their 16 attempts against NC State, and won by 16. I don't think it matters

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Best Is The Standard


didn't say they will lose every time


Feb 17, 2019, 9:48 AM

they don't shoot well.. said they were beatable


they have been behind at the half to some odd teams... like BC.. when they shot poorly

Where was Alex O'Connell yesterday? He only got a few minutes and he hasn't been playing much lately. That dude can hit 3's, but he hasn't played much for a bit.

Kentucky is looking like they can challenge Duke.

I am looking forward to this March Madness.

Remember November

And there's the revenge factor with Kentucky after Duke beat the brakes off of them early on 118-84 .

They are the best team but not by much.

Virginia, Gonzaga and Kentucky can all beat them.

If they face UVA again I think it's unlikely the beat a great team 3 times in 1 season. They would have lost last matchup but Duke shot lights out from 3. Don't think that would happen again.

Duke is a slight favorite but they can definitely lose.

Despite UVA's tremendous regular season accomplishments


Feb 18, 2019, 9:00 AM

they've yet to really play well in an NCAAT under Bennett. Perhaps it's just a matter of time and they will break through soon, but i think their style of play hurts them when they get to the tournament.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They are one of the better teams i have watched but


Feb 18, 2019, 8:59 AM

if there's anything I've learned in my years of watching the NCAAT it's that absolutely nobody is a lock. 1999 Duke, 1991 UNLV, and 2015 Kentucky are probably the three best teams of my lifetime and none of them won the tournament.

This Duke team is also extremely young - even by today's standards.

Feb 18, 2019, 9:12 AM

Three in today’s game ? You can lose to almost anyone.

That said this Duke team looks special. Can you imagine this group with some senior PG leadership, an infusion of additional freshman studs and 3 years of chemistry ? Another reminder that they’ve made a mess of men’s college basketball.
