Duke is getting ANNIHILATED

[HooperScooper]

I agree with you, but the majority of national media sentiment of college basketball is generally very Johnny come lately. Gonzaga and Nova probably wouldn’t have made that list 5 years ago. Announcers/analysts in college ball suffer from a lot of recency bias, and the rhetoric around it is cyclical - that’s moreso my comment, I don’t put much stock in what they say because it changes so frequently

I'd agree about the recency bias. UConn hasn't been very good the last few years and that takes away some of the luster of the years before it. It was only 6 years ago when Bilas said, "The question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites. But over the past 20 years whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConn." So if UConn gets back to being elite they'll be in that conversation again.

“Unquestioned capital of college basketball”. Love hearing that.

I feel pretty good about UConn's three point shooting after watching MSU-Duke and Kansas-Kentucky.

MSU: 5-20, 25%
Duke: 5-23, 21.7%

Updated for full game:
Kansas: 5-21, 23.8%
Kentucky: 3-21, 14.3%

Woof.

I feel pretty good about UConn's three point shooting after watching MSU-Duke and Kansas-Kentucky.

MSU: 5-20, 25%
Duke: 5-23, 21.7%

7:48 left in the game:
Kansas: 2-15, 13.3%
Kentucky: 1-14, 7.1%

Woof.

I feel as though Kentucky never shoots well from 3. The only year I think they did was when they had Booker. Every other year they rely on athleticism

Jay Bilas is cooked. He was very good until ESPN made him the man, gave him a bigger contract now he’s a puppet. Hardly questions calls like he did when he first arrived, kisses the same program butts that ESPN always does, he’s now just another mouthpiece I’m afraid. Too bad liked him!

Totally agree. He’s almost become a mini Vitale in the way he shills for ESPN
