Duke is not a better team than Ohio State, and we'll see that in March. They are a very good team, but they also beat a UK team that isn't anywhere as good as their ranking (yet), a Louisville team without Dieng, and OSU at home with Craft's worst offensive game.

Congrats to Duke, but they're not clearly better than OSU.

OSU played really good bball. I dont buy it that they dont have a bench. They played alot and played well. Craft isnt that good. Sure he can play some D but he is terrible on offense.

THis is a Duke team that has won 2-3 games this season that they would usually lose. There is almost no reason to of won last night. OSU just couldnt put it away. Plumlee is a stud.

Pundits are talking about Duke being #1 since they have played and beatin 3 top 5 teams in less then 2 weeks. After watching IU the other night....Duke isnt the best team.

Craft tried to be something he's not, a scorer.

K gave his squad the right talk at half. I don't know wtf Matta said, but it sure as hell wasn't right.

I dont think there is a person in the country that doesnt want to see these 2 teams play.

Not sure how OSU is clearly better - OSU may have underachieved, but Duke also played miserable for 60-70% of the game.

lhslep134;1333091 wrote:Another reading comprehension fail, but that's to be expected from you. I didn't say OSU was better, I said Duke wasn't better. If these teams played 10 times I'd say they'd split 5-5. That means I don't think either is better than the other.
