Duke by 3
Even though UK is just a team mashed together from the portal, they got a nice mix and a lot of different pieces that a few Duke fans were tracking. Butler is an elite defender but struggles offensively. Brea elite shooter, poor defender. Kriisa excellent facilitator but struggled against pressure at UA and WVU and is flat-footed on D. Then you got the interior guys…Williams an excellent rebounder and defender but couldn’t see the floor for long periods of time at Drexel (conditioning? And now he’s in a high tempo offense?). Carr who can go long spurts but disappeared at times at Wake. It really is an odd team but they def can beat anybody on any given night.
To state the obvious, this is really going to be Cooper’s game. I could be wrong but I don’t see anyone over there giving him fits so he should have plenty of room to operate. Just hope he doesn’t force the issue.
