Blue Devils Could Be For Real

[PhillyFlyers]

Took out #3 Kentucky and then took out #2 Louisville to win the Battle 4 Atlantis crown.

Good leadership group with Mason Plumlee, Kelly, Cook, and Curry. Rasheed Sulaimon looks like he's at least in the top 2 or 3 freshmen in the whole country.

Played the whole season so far without Marshall Plumlee, brother of Mason, and a 7 footer.

Solid depth and, of course, backed by the greatest coach ever in Coach K.

Wouldn't shock me if this turned out to be their year.

[PhillyFlyers]

Damn, so nobody has watched Duke beat two top 5 teams in 11 days and win a tournament?

No college basketball fans here?

Duck fuke

[PhillyFlyers]

Duck fuke

[You mad bro]

Love duke .. If they had 1 more bench player they would have a shot .. God forbid plum and kelly gets in foul trouble and w me have no size at all ..

They do have that freshman who is 6'8 and athletic tho

[uncynd]

This lady sums it up pretty well for me...

[rm18]

both wins were flukes Duke is not a top 10 team

[ExposingLines247]

so duke could actually be for real this year in college hoops? that would be a shock, hahaha

[Ralphie1412]

Duke is always for real. They have the best coaching staff in college basketball. They will always be competitive.

[Wilfred]

Can't wait for the game Vs Ohio State

Very insightful. Whats your opinion on the sun coming up tomorrow?

Sun going down might be a harder thing to explain

[PhillyFlyers]

Duke moved up to #2 in the rankings.

Fukkin bullshit. They should be ranked #1.

Two top 5 teams in 11 days plus a tournament championship.

Easily the toughest schedule in the country played so far.

Whoever is doing the voting for the rankings is on crack.

[nvrlose37]

Duke might be good but let's be honest, UK is not top 5 quality with no returning starters. And Lville is not #2 quality either.

They could probably take the ACC. UNC is not as good and NCst, although I like them, is not up to the caliber and were ranked too high preseason.

Regardless of your opinion on the quality of the teams, Kentucky was ranked #3 when they played Duke and Louisville was ranked #2.

Duke should be ranked #1 easily. Also, taking into account the toughest schedule in the whole country by far.

[Wilfred]

Calm down. Who even cares about rankings, especially this early? This isn't the BCS.

It just bothers me. I hate to see injustice. Look, Notre Dame is #1 and I'll admit they earned that. They deserve it. Duke deserves to be #1.

[Big Bear]

we found out tomorrow.

if they beat ohio state, crown them.

[isotopes]

Duke is better this year than they have been for a long time. They are the only proven legit top 5 team in the country right now. We will see what Michigan and Indiana are made of tonight. Both teams look good so far but this is a good week to watch before the three weeks of cupcake opponents start.

[dnguyen258]

People say Seth curry has the potential to be better than his brother, the way he's leading duke this year that statement isn't to unbelievable

[ChalkyDog]

As much as it pains me to say it, Duke is a legit top 10 team. Will be all season long too. Class of the ACC, which is sad because I was pulling for NC St. to finally get above the Devils and Tarheels.

No....

[uncynd]

duke is terrible...

[PhillyFlyers]

duke is terrible...

[You mad bro]

Duke might have trouble with osu tomorrow

i hope not but they might

[TPowell]

you realize Duke beat UK and UL without their 2 most important players right?

[You mad bro]

Yah so? A win is a win

[TPowell]

Yah so? A win is a win

you're an idiot, no offense but that is the worst logic I've ever heard.

[You mad bro]

you're an idiot, no offense but that is the worst logic I've ever heard.

Bad logic? Teams in bball can win without their best players all the time .. Duke had kyrie irving for only 12 games and had a good year .. Good players get hurt all the time ... Look at the nba when a player gets hurt how sometimes the team steps up .. Rose went down and the bulls kept pace

Your a fckn idiot and like i said idc a win is a win

The NBA is your example? This is college basketball, teams aren't as loaded you idiot. So how about you explain why Cincy was so awful without Kenyon Martin when he was hurt? Duke without Irving was much worse than with him, but of course all people remember is Irving later in the year being rusty

Irving came back and he was barely rusty .. One step off his game .. Do u even watch college basketball? All these top 25 teams are loaded now a days just look at kentucky.. Yah everyones a freshman but they all have talent ..

How about college football how many times do u see a first string qb go down and watch a 2nd string step up .. Cmon bro learn something about sports before u call other people idiots

yeah Louisville looked great when Bridgewater left games and Stein stepped in. Don't forget Driskel for Florida getting hurt and some Briskett kid coming in and being awful.

Do I watch college basketball? Yeah I do, I've forgot more than you'll ever learn kid

and you answer your own question. Its a team sport, so you think teams can plug a guy into the lineup and have things running as efficient as before?
