Waters and Mays are so much better than Dukes 1/2. The only mismatch is Zion. I say just let emitt play bully ball with him

You don’t think RJ Barrett the #2 pick is a mismatch? Some of you people need to stop for a second and think about how good Duke really is. We absolutely could beat them, but some people are acting like they can’t even play with LSU.

Lol, their 1-4 are all projected first round picks this year. Their 2-4 are projected lottery picks.

I think we can beat them, but waters and Mays are not better than Jones and Barrett.

I’m pretty sure he meant better than their PG and SG. If that’s what he meant he is completely right.

I know we can beat Duke. We will have to play like we did against Kentucky. No mental mistakes.

Tre Jones is their PG and RJ Barrett is their SG. Tre Jones is a boarderline R1 draft pick this year and Barrett is a concensus lottery pick.

Look, I love Waters and Mays, but they aren’t better than Jones and Barrett.

Waters is absolutely a better college player than Tre Jones.

Didn’t realize Barrett played SG figures he was their SF. Either way I think Waters is better than Jones. Barrett is better than Mays. I would say it’s a push.

You think Barrett and Mays is a push? I love Mays but Barrrett is the #2 pick in the draft and Mays wouldn’t be drafted. Cam Reddish and Barret switch between the 2 and 3, and even Reddish is a top 10 pick.

It’s not a push though.

Waters is better than Jones but not by a ton.

Barret is the #2 pick in a couple months. Mays isn’t close to Barret. That’s not a push.

Duke is overrated as frick. They blitzed people before people realized how they played, and they can still blitz you in one of two ways.

1)You don’t have multiple shot creators and they smother you with aggressive defense leading to fast breaks and easy buckets. We have three elite(for college) level shot creators in mays/smart/Waters.

2)You have short and/or unathletic interior men and you let Zion and Barrett bully you. We have Reid and KBW. Zion and Barrett will get theirs, but they won’t overrun us.

Villanova last year was light years better as a college team.

Read what I posted again and then reply. If Waters is better than Jones. Barrett is better than Mays that 1-1. Which in 2019 is a push.

On paper sure, and maybe it would play out that way. If anyone could force him to take bad shots it's Marlon Taylor though.

So typical of posters on this board...too far ahead of themselves. MSU scares me. Let's worry about this one FIRST can we?

LSU does have a bitch of a schedule in this tournament. MSU, Duke, and probably UNC, it was never going to be easy for them.

Duke had 3 guys go 40 minutes another 32. They are 7 deep. Could help playing them on Sunday. Michigan state seems to rotate better.

Beating MSU a tall order.

I think we match up better vs Duke as crazy as that sounds.
