The real question is will we have less losses than Roy has timeouts left per game?

Update for me:
12-6 or 11-7
11-7 is a stretch, but 12-6 could happen, IMO, based on the D.Ha no not at all. Didn't expect this but we were gunna lose even though I was hoping not to. Prob 3 loses we'll learn real quick

I'm going bold: 18-0
When you start 4 kids (NO MATTER HOW GREAT THEY ARE), straight off the AAU courts this is the risk you run.Poor decisions, poor defense. This is EXACTLY WHY I was saying its good for a DUKE VICTIM like Florida to WIN to help Duke's body of work as much as possible. The boys are going to lose a few.. I said 14-4, and they'll be hard pressed to achieve that record.
OFC
14-4 is a strong bet as well. This team doesn't defend well, regardless if the opponent shoots 55% from 3 land. Miami will shred Duke up, as could UNC, and I see a tough L at VT and Pitt. Good news is it's early so they can potentially turn it around.

Updated for me here. This would assume no improvement in D so that's a stretch. 14-4 may be more realistic; they just have a way to go defensively.
One loss doesn't make us overrated.
Yea I knew we would lose some games, but didn’t think it would be to damn BC!Ha no not at all. Didn't expect this but we were gunna lose even though I was hoping not to. Prob 3 loses we'll learn real quick
We are OVERRATED RIGHT NOW IMO....A 15 PT FAVE over BC, a 6-3 club w/no quality wins and w/o their BEST BIG. Although we beat Michigan State we've had to come from behind in far too many games.
I thought we struggled far too much against Portland State, and folks on this same board questioned how really big the Florida win was after their struggles of late.
BC showed a pretty good blueprint today of how to beat Duke. Make Duke play D, wear em down, backdoor em, and let Duval shoot. K also didnt help with his inadequate use of the bench. Bolden got 8 minutes, O'Connell 2, and Goldwire less than 1. There were some dead legs out there at the end...This team has to learn to play 40 minutes before I consider them a true no 1. Rant over-
OFC
As a discussion who do you think the top teams in the country are at this time
I still think we are ONE OF SEVERAL TOP TEAMS. However, I think we showed today we are not deserving of a UNANIMOUS NO.1 national ranking.Isnt that what we were this week?? We're not there right now.
We rely too much on OUTSCORING PEOPLE ON OFFENSE to win, and not playing enough TRUE DUKE DEFENSE. I think we're in a GROUP OF TEAMS capable of winning the natty, but far and away from the sure bet some here thought we were. OFC
That doesn't make you overrated. It means BC played out of their minds and a YOUNG team didn't bring it. They will just wait. This don't take away the wins we have geez
Pisgah I am not going to get in an argument with you man. I respect you and your opinions too much. However the Duke team that showed up today as a 15pt favorite was overrated in my opinion. OFC
Nova is definitely better right now. It’s not that Duke lost, it’s the defensive issues they are having. Villanova is just a more complete team right now. There isn’t many that can match Duke offensively but the defense allows teams to play with them. Let’s see how this team reacts with the schedule getting tougher. Teams like FSU, Miami, UNC, VT & ND would eat this defense up. They have to improve and quickly. Duke still has the best potential but it must start with the defense.
