Why not.

Indiana not offering much resistance thus far.

I tried to watch but it’s just Bilas talking about his love for K & how Barrett will get more efficient later this year. Had to turn it off. May try again later.

Duke is gonna destroy every team that allows them constant straight line drives to the basket. If you can’t stay in front of your man, and if you don’t have a rim protector, get prepared to get blown the hell out.

Yep. Duke is freaking crazy good. If you throw up junk and let them get out in transition, just give up.

I expected IU to at least compete. They’re beating themselves though. Turnovers and can’t rebound. I don’t think Duke wins the tournament though. A disciplined team that gets hot late in the season will take them down.

Wouldn't be RR without the daily Duke thread

Only reason I’m watching this garbage is that I’m working out of town and I’m using my supper money on BW3’s. This place has TV’s out the ying yang. Each booth has a TV. Like, right beside me is a 32 inch.

There’s probably only 3-4 teams that even have the possibility of beating Duke. Indiana isn’t one of them.

Meant Jack White

Anybody that can shoot should thrive on this Duke team. You’ve got the 2 best drive and finishing slashers in college basketball on the same team. Nobody cares about Jack White. Just do your job, and hit open 3’s.

I find it comical that ESPN prohibits their football game day crew from picking the winner of a game they are calling due to the fact of potential for perceived bias but Bilas is basically allowed to drone on and on about K and Zion and there is no issue in ESPN’s eyes. What a POS network and announcer.

You can’t spell Bilas without bias.

Lol @ only 3-4 teams having the possibility of beating Duke. 50+ teams beat Duke 1 in 10 times. Probably 30+ 2 of 10 and 15+ 3 of ten. Now probably only 3-4 teams who beat them 4-6 times out of 10. I can agree with that. To say only 3-4 teams can beat them is just asinine.

Stretch it out to 100 game sample and probably 200 or more teams could beat Duke in any one given game out of 100.

Too early to tell. People forget it’s November.

IU giving them a much better effort than we did. Still getting their *** kicked.

Name the team. Don’t just throw the someone somewhere stuff out there. Don’t say who won’t win it. Call your shot.

Tried watching too but I just can’t stand watching a game at Cameron. All the cheers and chants make it seem like a gloried High school game. Hell you never see anyone in the crowd over 18-20 years old, do they even let adults in?

I know some like that atmosphere but for college I think it’s nauseating. I’d hate playing there!!!

With kids just returning today from injuries. Two games ago IU was down 7 players. A month from now when IU is back to full strength I believe Duke would still win, but it would be a struggle. I think as Kentucky matures a Duke rematch would be much different.

I would say Duke has more room to mature and get better than most teams including Kentucky.

He’s not going to improve his 25 percent three-point shooting percentage very quickly without more good shots.
My biggest issue with him. Even in HS: Shot selection. I go it in HS. But really felt he'd get away from that at the college level. He's a decent shooter. Elite getting to the rim. EVer gets them going at the same time----Good luck defending him.

We were awful in the 1st half. And not just with the turnovers. Just slow to everything. Played scared. Duke sped us up, and we obliged.

Bad mistake. Felt when we got it down to 11(40-29), with the ball, a score there, and who knows. But nope. Tunrover. Duke ends half on 13-0 run. Gane over. But hey, just getting guys back from injuries. Last week , we only had 7 guys available. So there is that. Even then---Duke is much, much better than we are.

Duke blew their wad when they played us. They played a near perfect game. They haven’t even been close to 118 points against lesser D1 opponents.
