Don’t mind the Louisiana over UT hype. There are always 4-5 popular upsets that everyone jumps on, but most never come to fruition. It’s the ones that nobody talks about that actually happen.
I feel #4 is too high but I guess it's hard to ignore an overall body of work from all of their big wins early on. Maybe they took into account that JJJ and (brainfart, the freshman) were out and now ZZ is out.
Louisiana is a good, athletic team. Our defense should be the key as long as we limit turnovers.
All bets are off beyond that. That bracket is brutal. Honestly, we shouldn’t even be thinking about this beyond one game at a time given our history. Hard to do though…
I think Duke is playing as well as anyone in the country, and they won’t be surprised by playing a great defense. It’s a bad matchup. One can only hope the pressure gets to them. Frankly Louisiana is a bad matchup for us too. They’re very athletic.
Idk anything about Louisiana. Duke is finally healthy and their big is athletic and difficult to defend. They’re athletic and quick so not sure we can defend. But anything can happen during any given day.
