To quote Popeye...well blow me down! Who the hell saw that coming?
Duke was great, but Kentucky cannot possibly be that far behind the Blue Devils. Everything we heard from the summer trip to the islands suggested that this Kentucky team could be monstrously good and they still might be.
Duke blew their doors off and Wednesday morning, the college basketball world is going to be buzzing about what happened in Indy Tuesday night.
Let’s give this a bit of perspective by looking at Duke’s five exhibition games since August:
- Duke 86 Ryerson 67 (33)
- Duke 96 Toronto 60 (36)
- Duke 103 McGill 58 (45)
- Duke 106 Virginia Union 64 (42)
- Duke 132 Ferris State 48 (84)
Ryerson gave Duke a closer game than Kentucky did.
