I don’t get why we should fear Duke. Are they ridiculously talented? Yes. But so are we. I’ll gladly put what we have against what they have. Zion is a beast. So is Brissett. They have Reddish and Barrett. We have Battle and Howard and Hughes and Carey. We have experience. They don’t. And we will make them shoot over a very long zone and not drive the lane for dunks and layups. As far as I’m concerned bring Duke on. They have ridiculous talent. We have a ridiculous TEAM.
I actually think they'll have some trouble against the zone defense. Young, incredibly talented players but the zone is something that can minimize their offensive dominance. Not claiming we will beat them, but I think they'll have a tough fight on their hands.
If the Duke rhetoric is like this all season, I'm going to lose my mind. They have incredible young talent and a great coach. They're good. Cool.
Kentucky typically struggles early in the season. Duke looks impressive but far from unbeatable. Experienced teams with size will give Duke a fight.
Doubt any one of dukes freshmen have ever seen anything like this zone. First time we play them I think we win. The second time will be a toss upI actually think they'll have some trouble against the zone defense.

My biggest take away was how bad UK looked. Duke is good but I think we match up pretty well with them. They will struggle shooting the ball from the outside against us. The 3's they made last night were standing in a spot waiting to catch the ball 3's because the defense was collapsing. I think we will do much better in that regard. My biggest concern is their rebounding but I think it will be a good game. UK played terrible defense and for much of the game ran no offense. I mean they would come down set a screen and dump it so someone who who go one on one and end up shooting a contested shot over two guys. Then there would be a run out and secondary break high percentage shot from Duke. This literally happened half the time.We may all be playing for second place. Yikes

I agree that perhaps the only thing that is going to defeat them this year is a defense like the one we play. I definitely have hope that we will be able to pull it off---with our key players playing 'lights out' on offense and our defense frustrating them for the first time this season.Doubt any one of dukes freshmen have ever seen anything like this zone. First time we play them I think we win. The second time will be a toss up
Not worried, first night for two incredibly young inexperienced teams.
Duke wouldnt have rolled nova or gonzaga like that
All the superlatives still fall short.
I mean, daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I felt watching Zion for the first time like I felt when I saw a young Carmelo play in a McDs game. One of those rare kids that are clearly a markedly better player than everyone around him that helps make everyone around him a markedly better player.
Then I realized Duke's got three of those guys.
Hate all we want, it'll take a miracle for them to lose. Undefeated champs is like an 8:5 play. Please bump if they lose.
8:5 ??!! Overreaction Wednesday is in full effect. It’s more like 50:1 for them to go undefeated.All the superlatives still fall short.
