More absurd...Duke ahead of UConn or Ohio State at #4?

[UConnCat]

Neither Duke or Uconn are the same as last year. Duke had 2 of it's best players out for the Uconn game. You can always make the point that Uconn's freshman haven't done anything yet, so you give Duke a slight nod. They are loaded.

Which two players? Wells? Henson? Henson was a freshman last year and has yet to play a minute of college ball. Why would she have made a difference last year yet UConn's freshmen won't this year? I don't think Henson would've changed the outcome of last year's game; same with Wells. Duke lost because Stokes replaced Dolson (limited to 13 mins w/ fouls) and outplayed Williams, and Duke as a team shot 25% for the game. Duke had a great opportunity to knock off UConn -- UConn didn't play all that great offensively (too many TOs) and the crowd at Cameron was great -- yet it still couldn't pull off the win. Duke still has much to prove when it comes to winning big games. The talent is there.

Beat the LVs, but get your own referees and timekeeper!

Yeah, scared since it's going to be in Knoxville.

Handles and I have talked about Agee since she was skinny and raw and I did not understand why we did not hound her being in our backyard, I feel she will make quite a splash as a freshman.
