That dudes been over smooching some cheeks on Thr. I peeked and saw some of his posts.What? The last two games were against pretty good offenses. VTech is right behind Duke in points per game.

20th by the end of the NCAAT. The numbers tend to jump up a lot too during tournaments, especially when you win.20th
An opposing fan cannot go over to thr and have a friendly conversation about basketball.....not happening.Not sure what you mean by smooching cheeks lol. Just having friendly conversation about basketball. I said the defense has improved.
Recently, as in last 5 or so games, Duke went through an easier stretch of their schedule imo.
St. Johns - pretty awful defense. 81 pts to Kenpom #119 offense.
@UNC - Defense was again not impressive - no need to explain much further as there was much discussion on here about it
@GT - offense is very poor (#201 kenpom). Held them to 69 which is average defense.
VT - defense was great. VT has a very good offense (#21.. Not sure how that's "right behind Duke's though lmao) but lives and dies by the three... They're great at home - I'll be interested to see Duke's defense at VT
Clemson - Good defense. Clemson without Grantham and Mitchell hurts them offensively, especially the trey ball. Figured it would be low scoring since Duke is without Bagley as well.
Overall, like I said, the defense has improved but that's also due to facing weaker offenses. UNC and VT have good offenses but not impressed by what Clemson, St. Johns, or GT do. Defensive efficiency typically increases against those teams. Duke also tends to play better at home and 3 home games seems to have helped.
37th by the start of the tournament. Saw that in an article today on ESPN.What do we need to get it to?
Sorry but i just did...An opposing fan cannot go over to thr and have a friendly conversation about basketball.....not happening.
They obviously don’t know you’re a Duke fan........or are you??Sorry but i just did...
He’s a Duke student, or a master troll, you decideThey obviously don’t know you’re a Duke fan........or are you??
I think I’ve already decidedHe’s a Duke student, or a master troll, you decide
20th
Combination of improvement and also the schedule getting easier facing pretty average to trash offenses.
Do you mean by the start of the tourney? I thought that I read that no team has every won the title that wasn't in top 10 defense?

Now----a top 20 offense or defense doesn't guarantee a national championship, but your odds certainly increase if you do have both a top 20 offense and defense.
IIRC, Purdue and Michigan State are the only two teams with a top 20 offense and defense. Only one can win it all. Get it.
Gonzaga is also in the top 20 in both metrics. I like the Zags, but I can't see them going any further than the Elite 8 this year.
I think there's only 6 legitimate contenders in my mind: Villanova, Michigan State, Purdue, Arizona, Virginia, Duke... I probably won't be picking Arizona, though, because their defense has been a bit shaky, too. But their roster is certainly full of talent.
96th in defensive efficiency. You can probably just remove them from your list.
Yeah since I commented like 5x on their board I must be a UNC fan you're right lmaoSeems fairly clear lol
So funny that RPI has Gonzaga 45th.Edit: Gonzaga is also top 20 in both offense and defense.
Yeah since I commented like 5x on their board I must be a UNC fan you're right lmao
For me it was easier to like UNC fans when you're a current Duke student, because I was over in Chapel Hill all the time enjoying the fruits of their campus and town. Now that I'm just a guy living in NC, it's a bit harder to fraternize with the yokels.Yeah since I commented like 5x on their board I must be a UNC fan you're right lmao
Gotta be....lol lmao@IPSYCHOSIS is that you??
I'm just messing idk whatbhe evem put on thr
