Ugly half, but I’m not surprised. Little bit of fools gold vs Kentucky. Army shot the lights out. Things will level off quick. Disappointed in Barrett’s effort all around, I expect he will come out ready to kill
I just want to see him play within himself. Everything from him looks forced. If an NBA gm does not take Zion first in the draft they should be drug tested on the spot

This is the RJ I thought I’d see in the UK game. Always like his talent but he usually a ultra score first second and third guy. Said it three years ago and will continue to say I’d take Zion 1st over all. I think he’s that Lebron, Shaq, Duncan type special who can have a impact without having plays run for him. Passing, scoring, rebounding and motor.

Can’t wait until he loses about 15 point pounds during the predeaft process (that’s when players get in the best shape of their lives) and becomes even faster, stronger, more athletic.....yep scary thought

RJ should be taking the most shots. He’s just taken settled shots. I’m fine with him taking these shots. Zion still has 21 points and Cam has had plenty of opportunities as well. He too just hasn’t been efficient. Meh.

We’ll win this game and we’ll learn about ourselves. Oh well. This game was always going to be a hangover special. Doesn’t say anything about this team other than they are young...Which they are.

Relax guys. This is good for our boys. Tuesday was one of those nights where most of what we did worked, and most of what Kentucky did didn’t.
It’s easy to smile when everyone is scoring. This first half is what the team and this board needed. Let’s see what we do in the next half.

By the way, I love Zion. His motor is non stop.

What?! I would still take RJ #1. His arsenal of moves is much more diverse and that's required in he NBA.

If Zion didn't take that three, he'd be shooting 90% in college so far.

If Army would tighten up, we'd be down right now.

Best thing that could happen to Duke this half. Teams are not going to just lay down due to the coverage and I like the fact they are in a good tight game. Just what they need for game 2 after a glorified practice on national tv. I'm loving this right now. Lets see how they react now.
Barrett will be fine. He is and always will be a high volume shooter, so get use to that as well. If you watched him over his years in high school, that's what he does.

Spot on Mac!!!! I'm loving this and just what the doctor ordered. Lets see how they adjust. I think they will get back to normal and start imposing their will. We will see shortly.
