You lost a ton of key pieces and Kyler Edwards isn't good. if you think the way they played last night will be who they are the whole season then i dont know what to say. dont feel like going back and forth trying to explain.

I'm a Duke fan, a program that has a brand new team every season, I understand that teams don't peak in November and tend to improve as the year goes on. But that's something you naturally would have more optimism about with a young team incorporating a bunch of new pieces like Memphis or Duke this season. Teams that have elite, NBA level talent but need time to adjust playing together in a college system against college competition. Houston brought back 3 starters who have played a ton for your program and two 5th year grad transfers that have played a ton of college basketball so I don't think the ceiling is nearly as high.

Who? Duke smacked #10 Kentucky in MSG and has the best player in college basketball. We weren't struggling against Hofstra at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve made two NITs and were in the NCAA field in 19-20 when it was called off. They have a top 25 win and other wins over schools like UCLA, Dayton, Florida State, and St. Bonaventure.

I'm sure we've lost a lot of games over the past few seasons and you remember them, because we're Duke. We will beat the absolute breaks off you guys if we play this season.

Justin Gorham didnt break out on this team until his last season and you are delusional if you think Taze Moore and Edwards were average players at their last schools.
