So it isn't just a eye test thing. Duke has jumped to #27 in Kenpom adjusted defense. Think they were in the low 80s/high 70s, so a jump of about 50-/+ spots. Duke's #27 defense is better than Villanova's #36 ranked defense. lol they're winning it all aren't they

The only Dookie who catches a mystery injury when the going gets rough is Coach K.

They obviously have a bone to pick with the media from the bogus Lacrosse rape scandal story.

Duke is winning the 'ship. Since going to the zone they've improved defensively, they're now #10 in Kenpom defense, paired with that top 3 offense.

It's all lining for them again, every top seed losing which leaves Duke. They're going to play Kentucky, Michigan, Gonzaga for a ' ship and win. BTW their defense is at #8. Offense #3.

Still not sure I trust those freshmen to come up big as the stakes get higher. Michigan, Zaga, and Nova have more experienced players. Kansas too. The last time Duke won they had some key upperclassmen. And they were better than Grayson.

Who knows? They look good, but the tourney is still the tourney. Personally, I like Nova a lot, so they'll probably lose in the Sweet 16.

"The NCAA has apparently never looked into the Nike-Bagley relationship, but six experts on NCAA compliance told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the parent-coaches paid to run their kids' club basketball teams could be a breach of amateurism rules.

The NCAA would not comment on any specific cases. "A prospect or student-athlete cannot receive preferential treatment or extra benefits based on their athletics ability," said NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn. "This would include money from any source."

Seth Davis has a story or twitter tweet a few weeks ago about the NCAA knowing all about this.

The players families are already getting paid and the players benefit from that and will get paid once they go pro. It's the agents that want to be paid.

Even if True, Mr. K will blame all this onto Capel - Which is why he recommended him for the job. That way Pitt will be looking for another coach again next month.

One of the hardest things in life to deal with as a parent are the moments when you just have to be real with your children. Last night, midway through the first half, my 7 year old daughter looked up at me with tears in her eyes and asked, "Daddy, is Duke going to lose this season?" It broke my heart, but I had to look her right in her eyes and tell her, "No honey, it's a wrap."

Reminds of the old John Wooden days with Sam Gilbert and no scholarship limits.

People are gonna be slobbering over Duke all season long, but I'd still question how those young guys are going to handle the bright lights and expectations in March. A more experienced, well coached, physical team could beat these guys. I'm sure Wright and Izzo would love a shot.

One and done in March. The 2014-15 Kentucky team was an undefeated juggernaut. They lost to the same buttholes that beat us.

In a way it would be sweeter if Duke dominated until a massive tourney upset.

They're not going one and done

But we all know the tourney is a mutha. Small schools are not intimidated. Duke is only going to reach the FF if they turn out to be an unusually mature team. That talent is undeniable, but like you said, Spiff, UK has had multiple teams like this, only to fall way short of the goal.

It shouldn't. GIlbert wasn't a peripheral figure around UCLA until after Alcindor was already on campus, which was what I assumed is what brought the comparison of freshmen beating a varsity squad?

I loved the continual tirade of the announcer calling it straight... ...saying that Duke basically protected him and allowed him to get away with this crap while in college.

Big knock on Coach Krezzekidsish (just typed a bunch of keys without thinking - got the "K" though)… … you know who I mean.

His leg was way up in the air when he was falling on his ass. I thought it was funny that that's how the video ended, of him air tripping no one.
