What did y'all think of my boys? Duke played tough suffocating D, they were hittin 3s, and the athleticism and toughness of this team is better than any in recent years. I really believe this is the best Duke TEAM since my frosh year when J-Will, Boozer, and DUnleavy were juniors and lost to Indiana in the Sweet 16. While there is no true "superstar" on this team, Henderson, Nelson, Singler, Scheyer, Paulus, and even at times Smith, Thomas, and King play superbly and help this team win. They play so smart as well, and as with every Duke team, they can shoot the lights out. Going into the season I really thougth they would be a team in the 10-20 range, but after seeing how convincingly they have beaten teams, and with the win over UNC at Chapel Hill, even without Lawson, I think they are a legit top 3 team in the country and national title contender.
I am not ready to say they are definitely better than UNC with Lawson - we'll get a better sense of that in a month at Cameron Indoor, but RIGHT NOW, I think it's them and Memphis and then everyone else.
