If Duke keeps this up could they beat Kentucky?

I know it's not likely at all, but Duke has the talent to upset them if Kentucky doesn't have their "A" game like they didn't against Cincy. Okafor can match WCS and the guard play right now is what makes Duke scary.

Besides Arizona, they are the team that would give Kentucky the most trouble.
However, they could lose at any time. Utah next week, for example.

I feel like K has been extra intense this tournament in anticipation of running into them. Long way to go though.

Lots of teams can beat Kentucky. Kentucky could have easily lost to LSU, A&M, and Ole Miss.
They aren't unbeatable.

Dukes depth would be an issue for sure. They would need an extra hot shooting performance

Anything is possible

Agree, not unbeatable. But let's be honest, on a neutral court and these guys so close to history and a title there are only 3-4 teams left in the field with a chance to do it

Of course they could. What a dumb question
Posted on 3/22/15 at 3:53 pm to Minden tiger
Doubt it. Kentucky can't throw 3 7 footers at Okafor, 2 of which are elite defenders. They can afford foul trouble while Duke can't. Duke plays a style that Kentucky thrives in.
Arizona and Wisconsin are much bigger threats imo. You need a big that forces one of WCS or Towns out of paint. You need to grind possessions.

I wouldn't go that far.

But I would go this far. And I sure hope it happens. Sorry to all you Cat fans but Cal still makes my skin crawl whenever he does his schtick.

Lester you say that like it wouldn't be a surprise if someone beat the team with 9 NBA draft picks. No one appreciates your pointless comment. You literally contribute nothing to the thread.

Duke/Kentucky would be awesome, and I dislike both teams. I think I underestimated Duke. They good.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 4:00 pm to Minden tiger
yes they are playing their best basketball at the perfect time

Duke has won many games this year due to perimeter shooting.
UK is better, and would obviously be favored. But when Duke gets hot from 3 they are nearly unbeatable.

Again I just think it is a terrible match up for Duke. They are my favorite to win if someone else knocks out UK.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 4:09 pm to Minden tiger
Nah. Wichita is gonna beat UK first
Posted on 3/22/15 at 4:10 pm to Minden tiger
I still feel like Zona and Wisconsin have the best chance to beat Kentucky.
But if Okafor goes off and they get hot from behind the 3 point line...then yeah sure. They have a puncher's chance

I generally pull for upsets, but a Duke/Kentucky final could be on the best in years. It'd be fun to watch either way

That's wishful thinking, but it would be college basketball's ultimate payback.
