[UCLJ0211]

Drops 42 against ND. Dislike that he ultimately chose the Evil Empire, but this guy is legit!

If he’s hitting 3s, he’s impossible to guard. Their three frosh accounted for 74 of their 86 points.

The amazing part was that he did it in like 14 shots or so. Uber efficient.

they’re not a great defensive team and being so reliant on youth can be an issue when the freshman wall often hits, but no doubt they have a talented class who can get them to the second weekend.

 

[TroyHall98]

For the Duke board.

 

[jibsey]

I have no problem discussing non UConn talent here. Duke has a high rated defense too? Flagg is an exceptional passer on top of everything. They are going to be very tough to beat in March and April but stranger things can happen.

They beat Auburn, which means they can beat anyone, which means they can win the championship.

Honestly, their D is pretty tough. Might make them Scheyer-proof. They are big at every position with a 7-2 guy in the back. That’s a formula we know works.

Offensively they run middle school stuff, but they have shot makers so simple stuff can work. Wasn’t like we ran the “picket fence” with Kemba. If their freshmen have a bad day on the big stage, they can be upset, but they’ll be a tough out. I don’t think their imported veterans (Gillis, James, Brown) are going to be guys they want making offensive plays in tight games.

Shows just how weak the ACC is...............

 

[husky99]

He is no joke.... a cuse coworker (might call a friend but hard) says melo was better as a player his one year if college. Not sure i agree

 

[TheHorde]

Ngongba played only 5 minutes yesterday, huh?

 

[Scoe]

Just think Duke won by 8 at home against ND, with Flagg going off. Reminds me a bit of the Zion Williams year.

He visited UConn as a recruit and ultimately chose Duke over UConn. Thus, we keep tabs on their milestones so that when we beat them we have boxes to check off.

He had already chosen Duke let's be real, however maybe it helped us land McNeeley.

They have the number 2 Kenpom D rating in the country. They’re a very good defensive team.

I love all my fellow BYers, even though some probably don't like me
But I agree with 100% of your posts it seems. So I'll just let you speak for me so I can rest my thumbs.
I was thinking the same thing: the fact that we hate Duke doesn't mean they're anathema or not the best team in D1.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The football board is mostly Notre Dame fans, so why not make the basketball board into a shadow board for Duke?

Understand some want to follow players we missed on however, one would need to live under a rock to have not heard about it. The all Duke network, ESPN has run it incessantly.

At my age, when it comes to exposure to ESPN, I try my hardest to live under a rock.

I guess the question is if one of our players had those numbers in a league game would the hype be the same?

If that player was a freshman who had just turned 18 than yes.

If a UConn player did this, it would be a buried headline at best. ESPN (and to a large extent CBS and NCAA media affiliates) only hype events that resonate with major ratings markets (Trad blue blood and Top Football schools).

Ok we can agree to disagree and after all the bs posts and the fact that he pretended to be interested in UConn only coming to visit while his chosen colleges football team was in town to beat down our team, to me I really don’t care what Flagg does. But if some of you think he should glamorized about and complimented on this board then enjoy.


Personally, I would prefer Dook is never successful and more so this year. And I will never be a fan of Cooper Flagg. Call it whatever u want.
