Well, I'm hopeful the garbage from earlier this week is behind us. If our play Tuesday night against G-W is any indication, it's in the rear view mirror.
It can be, at times, tough to gauge where you're at as a team early in the season against low major division one teams. But Tuesday, at least for me, was the first game that we "passed the eye test" since the opener against Kentucky. Our one glaring inadequacy coming in was perimeter shooting, and hopefully the 10-22 night is an early indication of what's to come - although I'm sure we'll have some good and bad games along the way, as we build towards more consistency once conference play hits.
On paper, Lafayette appears to be our weakest opponent to date. Members of the Patriot League, the Leopards come into tonight's match-up 0-3 with losses to Syracuse in its opener and then a couple of Ivy League schools in Cornell and Penn.
At the time of this post, no spread is available but I'm going to guess this one will be up around 30. My official K-ville-o-meter (ya like that lol?) is -28.5. We'll see if I'm any good at this haha. Tonight's game is against slated for a 8pm est tip and will air on the ACCN.
Duke 94
Lafayette 60
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coach K Fact #5: Coach K has guided five Duke teams to a national championship, 12 to a final fours (tied with John Wooden for most all time) and has 97 wins in the NCAA tournament - by far the most all time. His closest competition is rival Roy Williams with 79.
