    AP drops Kentucky 4 places

    Seems like Duke's ranking is valid. Quad 1 games are HUGE come seeding time.

    Official game day thread- Duke vs VT

    Long time lurker here who likes to poke fun on Rupp Rafters. That was an impressive win. The 2 biggest plays of the game I thought were the Roach 3 at the end of the first half. Also midway in the 2nd half, it was a 4 point game and we were reeling a bit: Mitchell made a huge steal which led...

    Edgecombe Top 3…

    The last few years Kentucky has had better classes because Duke has been returning 5-stars. This years Duke team for example: starts 3 sophomores, all of which were 5-star freshman who could have been drafted late but came back. Also, if you look at the numbers, when Kentucky has a better...

    Edgecombe Top 3…

    Duke definitely doesn't duck and run when it comes to recruiting High School 5 stars. Duke however, does cast a smaller net, usually because they land anyone they recruit. Whereas Kentucky and Kansas cast a much larger net which means more misses. But make no mistake about it, Duke has...

    VJ Edgecombe playing at 5:30 ET on ESPNU

    Duke. Done deal. Scheyer is still the man on the recruiting trail. And after last night, is figuring out how to win on the road.

    Dukes schedule

    When traditional strong teams like Virginia, Syracuse, Louisville, and Notre Dame are all down, it's tough to be the strongest league in the country like the ACC was for a large part of the 2010's. Duke and UNC are title contenders, Clemson and Miami are maybe second weekend teams....and that's...

    Bracketology today we’ve moved up to a 4 seed

    Duke played at Arkansas, one of the toughest environments in the country. Duke also played at GT. UK's 1 true road game so far? Louisville. Road games matter. Duke has 2 quad 1 wins, UK has 1. The numbers speak for themselves. Duke has played a tougher schedule. 2 road games that were both...

    If we get Edgecombe in the next few weeks, it changes everything going forward.

    Does a Final Four equate to doing no better on the court during that time? That doesn't make any sense. Starting to falter? Duke landed Cooper Flagg less than 2 months ago lmao. If UK gets VJ, thats a step in the right direction, but IMO it will take more than 1 recruit to sway the recruiting...

    Why isn't Michigan State frosh big Xavier Booker playing?

    Are you actively rooting for Duke players to get injured? Yikes. You can do better than that. Most Duke fans don't care about Kentucky and their players. Like, I really hope you all can destroy UNC, same with Tennessee. I'm a big Bam fan, and always have liked Monk too. I would never root...

    Why isn't Michigan State frosh big Xavier Booker playing?

    Michigan State has made the Final Four twice since the CC began. In 2015, which they played Duke in Nov 2014. And in 2019, which they played Kansas in Nov 2018. Overall in the CC. Duke & Kansas are 8-5. UK & MSU are 5-8. Duke has had just as many inexperienced teams as UK during that span.

    Norlander on Zona-Dook game tomorrow night

    Scheyer excepts to have a home and home series with a big time program every year, I love this. The line has already moved from Duke -4 to Duke -5.5. I think Duke gets this one and also beats MSU next week. At Arkansas in a couple weeks could be a different story.
