I really am looking forward to watching this team. Unfortunately, the last couple seasons have made me a little nervous about being too bold with a prediction. I'll say we lose 6 games going into the acc tournament.
Not trying to be a downer, but Duke should look good beating a Div 2 team. Plus, we honestly don't know how we will react to getting punched in the mouth. We will face some really good teams this season. The kids better be ready for each game, cause we know every team they play will be fired up for us.

I was at the Elon game last year, and we beat them like a rented drum, and we know how watching that team was after that.

So, as much as I want to have high expectations now, I will just try to enjoy this season, and hope I'm wrong that we don't lose 6. But, I'll take 6 losses if it means we're peaking a week before the acc tournament. It would be so sweet to beat the Holes on senior day, and ride that momentum to Monday night in April.

The only rebuttal I have is that this team is so totally new, placing any past failures on them seems a little unfair. I get it, just seems unfair.

I’m not trying to place what has been done in the past on them, it’s more to do with my expectations each year.
Like I stated earlier, I’m going to try and enjoy this team for what they are, and that’s a very young, but ultra talented bunch.

I had what I thought was a good theory last year, that K and Allen, coming off the disappointing 16-17 season, would lead Duke to another title. We never quite were what I wanted, or expected. That’s on me, not anyone else.

Personally, I think this team could be really good, and K has said so. But, I’m not going to get too high on them, or low, because the season doesn’t really start til January.

Even the 15 title team took a couple beat downs in route to the title.

Elite eight finish. Just hard to have high expectations with these OAD teams. It’s too hard for most of them to learn K’s defense and I’m not sure we have the leadership the 2015 team had. Quinn was the MVP of that squad. Obviously the potential is there for a national title though. I hope they prove my predictions dead wrong.
