Best team in the country right now

[TPowell]

Is VERY easily Duke. I'm amazed how good Okafor and Jones are. Sualaimon (SP?) is back to the form he had early in his career, Quinn Cook is a great player playing off the ball. The Winslow kid is very athletic and active, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist like. Matt Jones is the typical Duke shooter, but can put it on the floor. Wow, I'm sold. Coach K may not be able to screw this one up.

Louisville fan first, UK fan 2nd's it. I'd have to agree right now. Cal teams usually take until late January to fully click though. I just don't think we have enough offense for certain types of game plans. It'll still take one helluva outside shooting night to knock the Cats off

Kentucky is the best until someone proves otherwise.
They have 5 guys on the bench that could start for any other team, maybe even duke.

[KRIT]

Either Duke or Kentucky. There are only 5 teams that I can see winning it all: Duke, Kentucky, Wisky, Gonzaga and Louisville. I'm normally really high on Louisville, but their struggles from the perimeter worry me a bit, just don't see who knocks down the long shots with Hancock and Russ Smith gone.

Don't sleep on Zags, that team is loaded.

duke or kentucky should win it all. teams are both completely stacked, who would want to bet on cal against coach k in a tournament game? i think wisconsin shot their wad a bit last year, duke, kentucky, gonzaga, etc are only going to get better, this team was the same team they had last year for the most part

[chalk46]

Don't dismiss Wisconsin just yet. They got beat at home by a very good team. They'll still be a force come March as a top 8 seed

I think your train of thought is right. Just hard to count out such a veteran team. But these non athletic whites stand almost no chance against the freak athletes of duke, Kentucky etc.

part of me says that duke shot 65%, but it wasnt good defense either. I only see teams like Duke and Kentucky getting better, Wisconsin wont be any better by March, this is a veteran team that what you see is what you get. They looked slow and unathletic, I dont see how that could change.

Wisconsin is still a good team. One game anything can happen, but if they go up against Kentucky or Duke again it sure as hell wont be a coin flip game like the semifinal last season. This team feels more like a sweet 16 maybe elite 8 at most type team to me.

if you think Wisconsin isn't a near elite defensive team, I don't know what to tell you. Duke just ripped apart a top 15-20 defense at least last night ON THE ROAD in DECEMBER with FRESHMEN

Its way too early to declare anyone the best team.

[curtrambus]

Badgers haven't been playing well and Dekker is obviously hurt they need to shut him down a couple weeks and let that ankle heal.

[In The Money]

UK is the best!

Lets rule out ANY of them starting over Jones, Winslow, or Okafor. I doubt they'd start over Cook either. Maybe at PF one could start

No doubt Kentucky. They may not lose a game this year and go 10 deep.

I went to the game last night and Duke was lights out and made very few mistakes. The atmosphere was standing room only and electric. I was surprised the badgers kept it that close because they missed a lot of bunny layups. Badgers just weren't athletic enough. You are also never going to beat a team that shoots 66% from the field. Very frustrating to watch since I am a badger fan though. Even when Tyus Jones was guarding Kaminsky they didn't get him the ball in the post. Ridiculous

[Baller35]

Texas for sure

[gloriesam]

kentucky
arkansas
duke
gonzaga (if they can shoot freethrows at a better margin they could be 2nd or 3rd)
wichita
louisville

Pump the brakes dude. They beat Wisconsin. Relax

Good luck banking on them shooting 60% from the floor consistently.

Wisconsin is at worst a top 5 team....... in one of the toughest places to play in college basketball

Dont give a shit. It was one game and Duke shot 65%. That wont happen again the rest of the year. Your a fool to think otherwise. Duke shoots even 50% they would of lost the game and thats crazy.
