I just don’t buy it. I always take it as announcers looking for something to talk about because it sounds good. These kids play 9-10 gms a weekend in aau ball. I never played college b-ball so I’m not saying I’m right. Look at the Johnny Flynn Cuse and Kemba uconn teams in the old big east Tourny’s. Playing their 3rd games in 3 days and beating teams playing in their first handly.


Yeah, but they're probably hung over from drinking last night

This Maui tourney has some really good competition, but it's nothing like playing two true road games in a venue like Wofford or Elon to open up a season.

UNC is about to play in a 4 team tournament that also features kenpom's #12, #26 and #38 ranked teams.

I'll be glad when ACC conference play begins . . . . . or maybe I won't be so glad.

At least I won't have to stay up too late to watch Duke remain perfect in Maui.

I would’ve let Reddish try a game winning three.

Nice W for Gonzaga. Start to finish. Wow

How many times did Barrett have to go to the rim and miss to do something different at the end

Barrett sucks. he would not give up the ball on 4 straight possessions. he hogged it and couldn't even get a decent shot up. He's way over-rated.

Congrats to the Zags. They were the better team today.

Learn from it and move on. This was never going to be an unblemished season, with this many freshmen.

I hope we see this matchup again in April.

Exactly... Tillie is 6'10" and can shoot the 3 very well... I believe he made 11 straight 3's at one point last year... He's a very tough match up...

Gonzaga is good! This is a great education that you cannot get winning, and the Zags deserve the credit. They made Duke a half court team for most of the game, made the Freshmen look like Freshmen, and Barrett became a ball stopper. If Zion doesn't miss a dunk, if Barrett hits his FT's, and so on and so on. But if Duke was going to lose then Gonzaga in Maui was the best spot for it! And I don't remember any team losing an NCAA Title in November. Congrats to Mark Few and I hope we get another match up in April.
