That is a crazy list of NBA players with so little tournament success to show for it. Is Swain the only player on there to make it to the second weekend? I'm pretty sure he is.

Yes he is!

Surprised that Jayson Kent is sticking around the fringes of the league. His jumper was so janky.

Deron Rippey is going to be hard to keep off the court

Duke is scary

If the Duke University Blue Devils Men’s College Basketball Team does not go 41-0, I will be disappointed.

I'd wait for them to play someone that can challenge them before crowning them. Tennessee lost their other exhibition game and didn't look good at all doing it. Barnes has a lot of work to do with this group.

Yeah, I'm kidding.  Even Duke will drop two or three games in the regular season.  They'll probably win the ACC regular season championship outright and the ACC tournament championship again like they have the past two seasons though.  Just gotta break through that National Semifinal hump.  If everything goes right, would love to see Duke vs Texas in Detroit and Texas get their first win ever over Duke in hoops, but the NCAA Tournament is wild.

Terrence Hill also got injured for Tennessee

Does anyone know which bench we have for the game against Baylor in San Antonio?  There’s some nice affordable seats near the floor but I’m not keen on sitting around their fans.

They will also lose in the tournament before their seeding dictates. Scheyer will never be Coach K. There are two teams that I will only believe it when I see it, though Arizona finally broke through to the FF last season, but their coach is a horrible tournament coach as is Scheyer.

It’s isolating that school more and more.

Scheyer acknowledged how banged up Tennessee was but his squad is loaded. Regardless of who starts next to Blackwell when you look at the box score Rippey will be averaging starter minutes for Duke. He’s too good to keep off the court in any game that’s tight.
