Duke Basketball 2017-2018

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Yeah this is one of those arguments you have to be a homer about because the other side is just so stupid about it.

Duke isn't going to schedule games in some mediocre opponent's home arena like Long Beach State, UNC Greensboro or St. John's when they can sell out the United Center, MSG, Barclays and Greensboro Coliseum. What incentive is there to change this?

There is all the financial, recruiting, NCAA seeding, NCAA Tournament experience and general incentive in the world to play at MSG rather than some small arena on someone else's campus. Duke isn't going to choose to hurt its own program. It's going to make more money, recruit better players with more exposure, get a better seed in the Tournament, and get better experience playing in a large, marquee, neutral arena before the Tournament when it can easily choose to do so.

Meanwhile, Calipari essentially admits he was too cowardly to play in the PK Invitational because his team is young.

Duke has won 5 of 7 challenge games on B1G campus sites. Are other people around the country really looking for summa dat?

Some of the other schedules of top teams are absolute trash. For example, Kansas played Kentucky in the Champion's Classic and is drawing Texas A&M in the Big 12-SEC challenge. Good teams, sure, but not scheduled by choice. Outside of that, zero teams in the top 50 Kenpom. They play Arizona St. and Syracuse, neither of which was projected to be all that good, on neutral courts.

On this date one year ago, Tatum and Bolden finally debuted against Maine and we thought the world would be our oyster.

Isn't this what it's called when you're in remission from diabetus?
