All right- we all know that Duke is basketball’s shining city on the hill while Kentucky stands for everything that is wrong with college basketball. Or at least that is what I thought until we learned that Louisville was providing hookers to recruits and their fathers. So maybe Kentucky is number 2 in the Evil Empire.
Now we have the first marquee college BB game of the season. (Sorry, St. Croix – UCLA v. Division Four Monmouth doesn’t count… and stop crying. It’s not like that it was a home game for UCLA – oh wait, it was…shame).
The experts have Kentucky and I admit I have been thinking Kentucky all fall. The problem I foresee is Duke getting nothing from the “5” position while Kentucky’s 6’11” star freshman might get 16 to 18.
But Duke’s 6’9” star freshman Brandon Ingram is a truly unique player. He has the longest arms I have ever seen with mobility of a guard. If he would just drive every time he gets the ball instead of shooting 3’s, I think he would rack up the points and get Kentucky in foul trouble. And Grayson’s Allen attack game has been magnificent- he is unguardable one on one.
If we can get just a little from Plumlee, I say Duke will win. What about it, 1 Rob?
have a pretty good squad and I'll be hoping for a Devil victory-Certainly, we can expect only a little from the last Plumlee, but hopefully it will be enough to topple the 'Vilecats' smile
I"m still pissed at the officiating squad that called the heinous Duke-Miami debacle-these worthless zebras should be given over to ISIS- later, Buddy
And it was not close - a clear victory for the Canes. At the time, I thought they must be better than i thought - but then they lose all the time after that game and did not make the NCAA.

I loathe the Calipari-led, one-and-done, Kentucky Wildcats...Ashley Judd be damned. Despite my feelings, I expect Kentucky to win this regular season contest, but if they meet in March, I fully expect Coach K's kids to prevail.
the Wildcat fans here as their Calipari (more scandals than Hillary Clinton) led squad kicked our beloved Devils in a great display of defense, transition scoring and alley oops-Marshall Plumlee-is he on PED"s? -played like a man possessed for us but there was little else to smile about-Allen was stuffed more than a Vermont Teddy Bear- Thankfully, it's early and the squad hasn't gelled yet with it's new parts- and ''Its not where you start that matters, but where you finish that counts.'' To paraphrase the Terminator ''We'll be back!!!'' smile
I truly wish all of you guys would quit pissing and moaning about Cal until he's personally held accountable for something that happens on his watch. Rose cheated on the ACT and Camby signed with an agent, get over it. I'm not a Coach K hater like most of my fellow Kentuckians. Duke's got a long way to go this year but he'll have them ready come Tourney time. Allen will bounce back from last weeks debacle but I will say that I find it hard to believe that Ingram was the number 3 recruit in the country last year. I wasn't impressed at all and he looked lost and timid out there. Should be an interesting year.
