Big Kentucky fan here. Duke/UK game is really hard to cap this early for me. Kentucky has an entirely new coach and roster. Mark Pope has assembled a roster that fits what he wants to do offensively very well. They have looked good so far, but haven't played anyone.
Duke is the most talented team in the country this year without a doubt. They have a lot of firepower and depth. They haven't been tested (neither has Kentucky), but they did HAMMER an Arizona St team who was very competitve @ Gonzaga a few days ago and AZ St did beat a solid Santa Clara team.
This game largely depends on the 3 point line and rebounding. Kentucky will need to shoot fairly well and rebound to have a chance.
I personally think Duke is a legit top 3 team already and their ceiling is higher than anyone in the country... I lean Duke tonight, but it's a no play for me.
