[2018-19] Kentucky (at Indianapolis), Army, Eastern Michigan

[physicsfactor]

Herro is a guy who would easily be the most vilified player in the country if he played for Duke. He's one mouthy, cocky SOB, and he's white.

So he's you but has game?

This hurt deep. I'm not sure I allow your daughter to marry my son now - either of them.

My son is available to marry one of your sons.

The Supreme Court will be overturning that soon.

Kentucky is now favored by 2-2.5 everywhere. It seems the general betting population has caught on to the fact that Duke will play atrocious defense and take terrible shots tonight.

In other words, the general betting population agrees that K has lost his fastball. If Duke fielded a team this talented just a couple of years ago, I don't think there would be many skeptics.

As physicsfactor alluded to, it's also pretty crazy for Duke to ever be an underdog in game one of the season, given K's (former) reputation for preparing his teams better than anyone right off the bat. Obviously, part of this is due to how young Duke is this season and the past few seasons, and a bigger part of it is due to Kentucky being not-your-usual-game-one-opponent, but Kentucky isn't old or experienced, either. The legends of younger K, like always having his team ready to start a season, never getting blown out, etc., are likely dead to the public. He is most likely viewed by others as we viewed Dean Smith in his final years.

Think about it this way: if Calipari got Barrett, Zion, Reddish, and Tre, would there be any doubt who the preseason favorite was?

when was the last time duke lost a season opener? JWill's freshman year?

 

[ZackM]

Good debut.

Congrats to the up-and-coming program Cal has developed. They played us tough, but in the end our talent overwhelmed them.

[rome8180]

Can't hate the man who gave us Zion.

And it was a road game. Kentucky fans would not shut the fuck up about calls down 30.

 

[torontoduke]

LOL - fuck UK fans. Matt Jones (Kentucky) can console them with his conspiracy podcasts.

[torontoduke]

Sweatier than Gary Williams

Devils held UK to 44% shooting and outrebounded them - not a bad start to the year. MIx of man and zone depending on personnel.
