Paging Selleck.

WTH happened to them. Will they get into the dance if they lose to Virginia?

I hope to hell I jinxed this thread and they come back to win, UK needs another quality win for a better seeding.

Nothing really. They were never gonna be that good this year plus amile Jefferson has been out forever which kills them.

I'm surprised he hasn't faked a back injury like he did in 95 when they were bad.

Good...good. Seems my plan has worked. They are on a run.

Honestly, I need Duke to keep winning.

They're obviously in the tournament right now. It would have to be a terrible collapse not to get in.

They are playing with a 6 man rotation. Amile was one of the top 3 players on the team and hasn't played since early December. There is one guy in the rotation over 200 pounds.

The only bad loss has been Syracuse at home, imo.

Duke has had a Plumlee on their squad every year since '98

As Kentucky as seen themselves, sometimes the highly touted freshman arent ready to step in right away. Chase Jeter has been absolutely terrible, and isnt even close to being ready to contribute. Derrick Thornton is in the rotation, but thats mostly out of necessity. He's been pretty mediocre for the most part. It also hurts that transfer Sean Obi has been a non-factor down low.

Duke went from a pretty good team with Amile Jefferson, to a team with absolutely no depth, and one big man.

They are easily in the tournament. Wins against Louisville, Indiana, and VCU, and no real bad losses.

Thornton has played well today. That split was just nasty, it's a shame he couldn't finish it.

So, coaching "one and done's" is not so easy?

Maybe they can go to the NIT and face Robert Morris.

Funny, because those who win the natty, the next yer seem to tank.

But, I'll take a shitty loss to Robert Morris with a non existent PG with the run we have had lately (4 Final 4's in 6 years).
