Bolden has shot two threes and made one. Form doesn’t even look bad and Coach K was ok with him shooting both. Pretty sure that’s not going to be in the game plan on a nightly bases but it is interesting. He’s axtually playing better than average and with a lot of confidence scoring 15pts with 11 min left with a couple blocks. Never thought I’d see him score that much even against this level of comp after watching him earlier this year.


Still doesn’t read things well on defense though but at least can do the basic things you expect from someone 5 inches taller than everyone else

PJ guarding Barrett will be interesting. Has a chance to give him issues but thought ge same when USA played Canada. Likely will take good team defense to slow him down

PJ is alot better now than what he was on that team, Kentucky is not gonna stop Barrett's dribble penetration. Best bet will be to funnel him into Kentucky's shot blockers and make him beat you off the dribble.. This will be one game that whoever hits key shots down the stretch will come out on top..

Well I’m done watching. Duke up 71 with 9min to go and Zion, Cam and RJ some for the day, only watched to see them pretty much. Nov 6 is going to be a showdown

Both are better than they were then but yeah I agree with the funnel idea. When RJ does struggle it’s never the first defender, it’s always that second help defender. Harder with Zion because he is a very good passer and will dish it off but RJ for the most part will try to score on both defenders

PJ is alot better now than what he was on that team, Kentucky is not gonna stop Barrett's dribble penetration. Best bet will be to funnel him into Kentucky's shot blockers and make him beat you off the dribble.. This will be one game that whoever hits key shots down the stretch will come out on top..

Has anyone seen the house Zion Williamson is living in while attending Duke? $4,830 per month rent estimate. House value $868,942. Do all Duke recruits get this kind of housing? Asking for a friend in the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions.
It’s no more illegal than getting $100K worth of jewelry or getting paid by a big time booster.

Undersized, rebounding issues and a couple other small things. From scouting I learned to look at other things besides the obvious, but your welcome to your opinion, not going to argue about that

I think Zion looks great in transition, but they have to rebound it to get into transition and I see that as a weakness for their team. Also, the first time that Reddish and Barrett go cold, Puke is going down.

Last game before the showdown. Pretty sure y’all have one more. Will definitely watch. We have to scout each other.
Because fans have some say in the game. You must be on the athlete scholarship rules instead of the regular students.

Barrett and Reddish aren’t going cold. Have you seen them play?

LOL. Are you serious? Everybody has bad games or even bad stretches.

Look dont get mad at me bc they outrecruited John this year. We are going to be fine but those two guys score bunnies inside at will - not really subject to “bad stretches” - wishful thinking. Watched JC throw everything at RJ in US v Canada and nothing worked. Hope we destroy them, don’t get me wrong but way more concerned than most on here

So much to make fun of, but the duke turds that sprint across the court at every halftime And end of every game crack me up.
Would love to hear splinter remind them in private how important their job is.
A week from Monday Indy bound.
Will love watching in person uk crush those turds.
My wife is giving me a hall pass so maybe I will crush an ugly puke cheerleader and make it a double whammy.

Seriously. And I do mean dead serious.

Who the EFF is Ferris St.? Seriously? Does Puke ever schedule an actual college basketball team for exhibitions?

Ferris as in Buehler??

They need validation before they lose the first game and the truth smacks them right on the forehead. Shoulda spread your money out better and bought a full team. 3 guys aren't getting it done come November 6th

And if the big three play every minute with our depth. They’re not making shots late!

Well, one thing is certain. This Duke team has had ZERO challenge in any game they've played. Nobody has punched them in the mouth at all and nobody has even put up a mild resistance. They have played NOBODY. That could be the question of the game for the Blue Devils. How will they respond when someone actually fights back, defends them, and answers the challenge?

UK has played some teams that had some actual talent and at least one with some grown men who intended to come out and punch the Cats in the mouth to see how they'd respond. They responded better than anyone expected. I guess we'll see.

So Duke is sooo sure of themselves, they feel the need to troll Rafters... Just screams insecurity. (snicker)

And the fact that there are multiple Duke threads ready and available for them to do so screams confidence? (Eats a snickers)
