We got a 5* big that can protect the rim sitting on the bench

We got alot of work to do. Wish we still had Elon to play before Illinois!!! We could use an extra game to get things going the right direction.

I feel the same way. I’m not even mad that they lost because it doesn’t feel like college hoops. It feels like kids trying to impress scouts more than anything. Like watching a grown up AAU game. No fans absolutely suck. I haven’t watched any sports until tonight and it will probably be the last for a while.I just watched parts of the game. Probably my last until the COVID bs is over. It’s hard to get excited watching scrimmage games.
Agreed the game with Illinois could be a ugly game as well for Duke.Caught a coaches round table & they stated Iso offense is what draws recruits. Pin down screens and post play is out. Duke has followed suit.
Illinois runs spread with screens galore & handoffs which confuses the hell out of weak defenses especially when the ball is reversed.
I'll tell y'all what though, if we had the Zion Crew this year we'd go undefeated. There is not one team in the country they wouldn't throttle by 25.

It’s like watching a scrimmage where after it’s over the coaches thank each other for giving their team a different lookI feel the same way.

I disagree. Their team that year was better than this version. The competition is just weak nationally. Kansas clearly isn't as good as advertised, they could barely handle a UK team that Richmond throttled at Rupp.Zags are a team I don't think we throttle with Zion and company.
They definitely could, that I can assure you. That team blasted teams much better than this Zags squad. Gonzaga looks great because everyone else looks bad.That team wouldn't beat this year's Gonzaga team by 25, I can assure you.
No team identity yet for this group. This is why you need exhibition games, games against lesser talented teams, etc. Not happy, but what can you do?
Ok, we failed our first early season test. No shame in losing to a Michigan State team, that we were blowing out and had chances to come back at the end. I’m encouraged by the fight. Clean up some mistakes and we’ll be alright. Just didn’t understand why any of the bigs didn’t play as much. I like Hurt at the 5–in spurts—not for the majority of the game. We don’t have a set starting 5. I was disappointed with Wendell Moore. He has to play better than that. I was VERY encouraged with the fight from Brakefield.
Not the end of the world. All depends on how we’re playing come March. This is the risk we take recruiting OADs every year. Izzo is great coach with an experienced team. We just doesn’t have the talent as teams in the past nor are we very experienced. Hopefully we can find some spark through out the year.
This really isn't an accurate, or fair comment. It's early, and only 2 games, but Baker is way too hyper, and Moore doesn't resemble anything close to a pro talent. Goldwire is at his ceiling. He is what he is. What we will see is if K still has it. If we improve, he will get credit, as he should. If we don't, how much does he own? None of us recruited these kids. We are merely fans.I mean, as of today, Johnson *should* be the only OAD from this team. We actually got the make up of a team a lot of fans have claimed they’ve been wanting (returning McDonald’s All-Americans in Hurt and Moore), experience (Goldwire, Baker and even a Grad transfer). Why the complaints?

Agreed on the lack of "team identity." This team appears to have NO TRUE LEADER yet, although there are several who potentially can take the reigns. Do we have that one guy who despises losing like a Tre or Tyus, a Zion, Grayson or Battier?? The player who will pull the team together and "refuse to lose???!!!" Only time will tell.
