What have they done at the college level to prove that they are the best players on the team . That haven't played anybody until obviously lastnight. Say what you want about GW but they are a good ball team, just ask Bobby Knight. That's the problem with fans like you, you think UK's poop don't stink and that the basketball gods aren't suppose to let UK lose like this. Get over it, it happens, to EVERYONE. I can accept this loss. I have dealt with playin under a new coach and system before, I know how hard it is to make the changes especially when you aren't use to em. This team will be alright once they ALL buy in to this system and style of play, and if they don't buy in, they don't play, simple as that.

Good post, man, I agree with every word. I will say that UK shouldn't lose to teams like GW, but that's what happens when you have a new coach and a new system, with old players who just won't get with the program. Add to that a ridiculously early start to the season where the new coach has had very little time to teach the players the system, and you get the perfect storm.

If Puke had an arena the size of Rupp, they would fill every seat.

I must disagree with you here, though. There is no way Duke could fill up an arena the size of Rupp. They simply do not have the statewide support of a UK, or a large metro area like Louisville to draw from. Down in North Carolina, the Tar Heels rule the roost except around Durham and other local college towns. UNC can and does fill a 20,000+ seat arena easily, but Duke would be lucky to draw anywhere near that much.
