Basically Max Abmas (who is excellent) and then a bunch of guys who wouldn’t start for a P6 program.

Getting some Lehigh vibes.

In addition to Abmas they got a 7' 5" dude...could give us problems like the last time we played a guy that big in the tournament.

He is 7’3”, not 7’5”. And he couldn’t crack 18 mpg for Cal or Arkansas before heading to ORU this year. Very unathletic.

But Abmas is a stud.

Tough out.

They have the longest winning streak in the country right now.

True, but they are just 1-4 against teams in the top half of D1.

[Bluedog]

Kempom has them as 23rd ranked offense and 107th defense. And they faced the 260th hardest schedule. I prefer stronger offensive teams really as I like our D...assuming we handle Abmas which we think we will.

[arnie]

Admas took 310 3-pointers. A huge number and made about 37%. I think we will reduce that part of their O with Proctor or Mitchell.

Listed at 7' 5" all over the internets. Either way, he could impact our typical rebounding margins.

Early line is just 7....gonna be a tough game.

That’s Del Taco Fall.

Harlan/Bonner/Van gundy with the call. Love it. Very happy that we didn't get early game time.

He is not a great rebounder, and ORU is a bad rebounding team.

They want Duke to lead their Thursday evening games - on their main channel, CBS

[arnie]

Only 7-pt favorite. Vitale has us losing to Bama in Final 4.

[Ggallagher]

Kenpom has us as a three point favorite to win this game???

Am I missing something?

[arnie]

Alphonso, Jay, Rece and Seth Greenberg also all have Duke in final 4. Jay has UConn beating Duke in Natty.

We have no chance.

It’s taken me a while to believe in the results, but with several days to prepare, I think Scheyer and his staff will have this team prepared and ready to play right out of the gates on Thursday.
