Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 12, 2024, 07:33:02 PMI certainly have doubts about Kansas but battling with Michigan State doesn't worry me in the least.

Not like they're battling with CMU

Caveats and all, they're projected to be like 23-8 and 13-7 per KenPom.  If that's the record, is it a good season for a team currently 8th in KenPom?

Some would see that as disappointing

Quote from: MuggsyB on November 12, 2024, 07:15:06 PMWhat is Kansas' payroll?

Put it this way; Dickenson will be taking a pay cut next year.

Flagg is the real deal and Duke is loaded.

I thought when I checked the score and box score Duke would be up 20 and Flagg would have a 30 point double double. Duke's up 4 and Flagg has 12/5/0 on 40% from the field and 0% from 3.

Both Houston and Auburn look way better than any of the 4 teams playing tonight.

Flagg was 4/7 at half and Duke was up 9, also dominated the half after UK started 5/5 from 3.

Duke is really good. Kentucky is pretty impressive as well. But have to figure out a way to even it out a bit in the paint. Dukes guards take great care of the ball

Ig you've watched the last few mins you can see how good this kid is.

If you've watched the last few mins, you can see how good this kid is on both ends of the floor.  Has a complete game at 17 yrs old.  And he's totally under control. 

Knuepel likes to shoot.

Duke looking like us from deep right now

Getting anything they want but cant bury the open triples to pull away

Pope is a good coach. Duke's youth is showing.  Flagg not getting much help. 

I'm not sold on Scheyer. 

Heck of a finish by UK.

Pope has a system thats fun ball and loads of veterans to execute

Still very impressed with Duke long term. Got any shot they wanted most all game. Couldnt make the outside shots all game. Missed bunnies in the final 10 minutes like a young team.

But they will be very very good through the year.

Flagg tried to do hero ball late and had two brutal TOs in the final 30 seconds. Still had 26/12 in his first high major game.

Kneuppel was brutal at 5/19.

Vets beat the freshmen. Great game. Both teams are legit. Duke with higher upside.

Markus was, and still is, 17..duh. I'm pretty sure that Flagg won't pass Howard's Big East scoring record.

They were two bad turns from Flagg but are you sold on Scheyer? 

Funny that Flagg had 2 out-of-control turnovers shortly after Muggs said he was "totally under control."

Obviously a stud though (Flagg, not Muggs). It's easy to see why everyone loves his game.

As for Kon ... chucker?

So, really good teams can go cold from 3.  Even though they are the shots the coach wants them to shoot.  Good to know.

Duke's length is what impresses/scares me most. It would be helpful if Parham and Owens were healthy and playing well by the time MU plays Duke in the tourney.

For that game Kon was definitely chucking. Not a good game for him at all especially that 2nd half.

The one Duke guy not taking shots in the flow most of time.

Freshmen.
