Great Article on The Next written by Em Adler.
The idea of a Knife Kid is simple: it’s a kid running around with a knife, dangerous and unpredictable. Entertaining at first glance, until you fully register that it’s a kid with a knife, liable to hurt themselves if left unattended and likely to hurt you when you try to intervene.
A Knife Kid team is just the same: entertaining, as long as you’re not the one that has to play them because that can end very badly! They’re the kind of team that runs a high NET without actually earning an at-large bid in March, as their highest highs are offset by bewildering lows. And the past couple of weeks have seen a lot of Knife Kid teams swinging wildly and hitting everything in sight. Try to make sense of them, I dare you.
Knife Kid Teams include Duke, Princeton, Columbia, Arkansas, and VIllanova.
His description of Duke is perfect. I can honestly seeing us missing the tournament altogether, or playing the second weekend of the NCAA tourney.
