Both Duke and Kentucky had tough years during the Covid season, although Duke was rounding into form when the virus ended its season in the ACC Tournament. Kentucky’s situation was much worse, as the Wildcats finished at 9-16. Duke finished at 13-11, not tons better, but at least over .500.
As we’ve said though, everyone should get a pass on this past season. It was just bizarre in every way.
Well both teams have sorted out most of their problems, have major talent upgrades and are on a collision course to meet in the State Farm Champions Classic on November 9th.
