The Blue Devils are the superior team, but the Tigers are not the walk-overs that most big programs schedule for their openers.

Nah, 40 is about right as the starters only played half of the second half.

And as you know, you can't defend something that can't be taken away. Duke is pursuing the '10-'11 Championship along with everyone else.

Kyrie Irving is a super-star in the making. I can't tell you how impressed with him I am and when Seth Curry is on, he really is a Curry. The only problem/dissapointment I see is that Irving will probably be NBA bound after this year.

Agreed. They easily could have made in ineligible for the year.

Point A: True dat, but it still sounds like you're already making excuses.

Point B: Yeah, I'm curious to see Irving in action myself, just as I'm curious to see if Seth is half the shooter as his brother, or his daddy. And as for Irving being "one-and-done", I'll make you a deal: I'll do all I can to convince him to stay for a few years, if you do the same to persuade Harrison Barnes to stay in school.

Deal!

And yes, Seth is a deadly spot-up shooter.
