so is TN basketball really better than Duke basketball?


Feb 10, 2019, 9:06 AM

I watched both of those games yesterday....and they both are great teams. But do you all think TN is better than Duke.

I would be interested in seeing these 2 match up.

They are both really good, but I feel like Duke is starting to separate themselves from the pack. I think Duke wins it all if they make generally their FT's in the tournament.

I think TN is the only team that could beat Duke...


Feb 10, 2019, 10:55 AM

3 out of 10 times...so anything is possible.

i don’t know which team is better .... BUT

I do know that Coach Barnes will never back down to the big K! That is a matchup that likely will happen if both teams stay healthy. It will be interesting to see how they are placed in the tourney.

Talent wise Duke is better than anybody and it isn't really close. That said a couple bad foul calls and some balls not going in I could see Duke getting frustrated. I don't think they are a lock to make it to the final but they sure are better than any other team I have watch play this year and it isn't really close.

thanks for the replies!

They look like a great matchup.....but then there is the Zion factor. Need a big man to interrupt his game.

Barnes is a great program revitalizer, as Purnell was.

It seems that he can work wonders on short order, but not get past a certain ceiling. This is not do discredit the great job he has done most everywhere he has been, including a nice run of NCAA Tournament appearances at Texas. But there is no denying that many of his teams underachieved in the postseason.

Even at Clemson, other than the one Sweet 16 team in 96-97, we did not win our first round game any other time under Barnes.

Rick has done an outstanding job at Tennessee but I don’t have any expectation that they are as good as Duke. They aren’t as talented as Duke, and Barnes isn’t as good a coach as Coach K - especially in the postseason.
