    MBB: Duke vs. Kentucky (11/12, 9pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    Based on what I have seen of this year's team, and Pope's past BYU squads, I'd say they are scheme dependent and that it is an excellent scheme. We have to stay home on shooters, and sometimes that drives fans crazy because you wind up giving up easy shots near the rim. I am having flashbacks...

    Kyle Singler does not seem well

    I saw that Jose Fonseca from the basketball program reached out to him in the comments, as did Kevin Love. Hopefully someone with the program has a better way to get in touch, as I assume, at this point, everyone who needs to know has seen the video.

    MBB: Duke vs. Kentucky (11/12, 9pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    The Field of 68 preview that brevity linked above is a pretty classic example of how I feel Duke is being perceived. They reference Duke -5 and spend a lot of time talking about how that is a lot of points, how Kentucky is underrated, how they have "grown men", etc. But then they all think...

    MBB: Duke vs. Kentucky (11/12, 9pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    GAME DAY!!!!! Here's what I am interested in... -This is really the national college debut of Cooper Flagg. How will he perform? Because of the way our society operates, it feels like there is a pent up vault of hot takes waiting for him to be subpar. I understand that because the hype has...

    Kyle Singler does not seem well

    Kyle Singler posted this this IG and he clearly has something going on in his life. In case it’s gone by the time you see this, he’s standing shirtless in a room with no furniture, a bright light casting him in silhouette, saying that he’s not valued and his voice is being silenced, that “my...

    Heading into a game where, in year's past, the total McDonald's AA would almost outnumber non McDonald's AA, here's how many are on either team: Duke - 2 UK - 0

    I haven't watched them yet, I am hoping to do some scouting with the on-demand version of the Bucknell game, but your stats about their minutes distribution seem to suggest that their rotation is quite expansive and undifferentiated...which is a little problem that the 2015 UK team famously ran...

    Duke MBB to play AT ARMY next season

    Me too. I grew up, and still live, in Westchester county. My only trip to Christl Arena was in 1987, 2 years after it opened, to watch a closed circuit broadcast of the Sugar Ray Leonard v Marvin Hagler fight. Christl Arena holds 5,000. That is going to be a very, very tough/expensive...

    Kansas is still a work in progress in terms of their rotation and, currently, it feels like they may have the "too many players" problem. We also have this problem, but our 9-10 guys are freshmen. Self had the core of Harris, Adams and Dickinson and then, famously, brought in "the best group...

    MBB: This Week in the ACC (11/4-11/10)

    RE: UNC The biggest surprise for me was the play of their non-guards. Withers was stroking 3s, and Lubin looked way better than the project he is purported to be. The guards are, as expected, really tough. Hubert rode the 3 veteran guards in the second half, but I thought Jackson gave them...

    Listening to the “Field of 68” Saturday night program, someone reported that one of the Auburn players, when asked about the plane incident, said, “What do you expect when you get a bunch of dawgs on a plane?” Both Auburn and Houston are packed with dawgs. Here’s how Google search engine AI...

    This Man Man quote warms the heart: When asked what it’s like to be on a team with so much talent:“It feels great because the players not only are good players but they’re good people, too. They have great personalities andthat’s what makes it the best thing. They make my job easier and I enjoy...

    MBB: Duke 100, Army 58 Post Game Thread

    An obvious headline is, "Another dominant performance against an overmatched opponent." And, at the risk of drawing too much from nothing but overmatched opponents, I think it is safe to say this is the hardest I have seen a Duke team play in years. I point that out because effort is opponent...

    Thanks for finding and posting this, it is a real good summary of Self's appearance on K's Sirius radio show. They hit a ton of topics including the lack of leadership at the top of college basketball, what on-court and off-court rules they'd like to change, and how scheduling will change as...
