Official game day thread- Duke at Arizona

[christophero]

True but if we lose again last night do you really think that team is running the table?

not necessarily Chris, but we’ve seen teams have 5-6 losses in the regular season and Earn 1 seeds in the ncaa tournament.

Something more realistic, let’s say Duke goes 4-3 against the likes of Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas, Auburn, Unc, and Illinois, and they don’t have any bad losses throughout the regular season, I find it very hard to see a scenario where the committee does not give Duke a 1 seed in that scenario.

I’ve watched Kansas play twice . Two keys are , Don’t let Adams and Mayo get going and don’t let Harris control the game speed. IMO you live with Dickerson getting his stats and stop the rest . Big Pat will be needed imo this game because Kansas will want the frontcourt advantage and attempt to get both Brown and Mal into foul trouble . Michigan St almost beat them with their bench .

Kansas has that Flory big man we were recruiting at one point. He's the back up to Dickerson.

But he doesn’t worry me against Brown like Dickerson does . Flory can rebound so I’m sure that’s key these last couple of days and controlling turnovers . Kansas wants to run . Stopping them in transition is another key .
Harris doesn’t score much but is a defender . This is probably a game where Self tells his team to let Flag get his and protect the perimeter.

I think we match up well against Kansas and will win. That would be two top 15 wins in November. Beating a #1 team will be gold on selection Sunday.
