Cool. Go cheer for Duke then.

Duke is very good, no question, but I honestly think UK is GREAT, and if we meet in the title game it will be a war. Still, UK has far too much depth, and simply plays great defense. If we meet: UK 81 Duke 64.

Just remember they have to guard UK's players too. They have nobody like Lyles. Somebody will have to guard either Towns or WCS. UK guards are much bigger.

The refs are my concern. The flopping will be at an all time with that bunch.

Didn't watch, but how did Duke only shoot 2 FTs? Did SDSU not play any defense whatsoever?

I saw a few minutes here and there and I saw NO defense.

Umm, I mean who said they weren't really good to begin with?

They're a number one seed with the best player in the nation for crying out loud.

That being said, it's one thing to play ONE really good game, but it's quite another thing to go UNDEFEATED and find ways to win EVERY game you play.

Duke is really good, but no where near as consistent as Kentucky. They were playing San Diego State. A decent team, but my goodness. Take a deep breath.

Duke is a good team. SDSU ranks 105th in adj. offensive efficiency, so that made the game more lopsided than it would have been if they'd had even a reasonable offense.

I won't deny that Duke is a good team. I expect their lack of defense to be a problem for them at some point, though.

Duke is a very good team, especially when they play against a team with no offence and Okafor is allowed to lower his shoulder and just bang smaller players out of the way. SDSU is just not tough enough and aggressive enough to deal with Okafor's offensive banging on the other Duke calls.

Duke looks good when they get open shots and when the run enough to minimize their defensive liabilities. The key is to not make a lot of stupid turnovers, to play super tough defensive on them (including banging Okafor), and taking (and hitting) easy shots.
