Who will you root for this season?
Will it be the top ranked Blue Devils from Durham, North Carolina? Or will it be their rivals, the Tar Heels from Chapel Hill?
It is rumored that Coach K could potentially have the best offensive team in his 37 years of coaching at Duke. It goes without saying that the whole country is excited to watch Grayson Allen light it up once again. The 6’4”, 195lb Guard had an average of 21.6 PPG, a 46.6 field goal percentage per game, and a 41.7 three-point field goal percentage.
And then there’s Kentucky…
The All-Star team from Lexington, Kentucky finished last season 27-9, 13-5 in SEC play, and won the SEC regular season championship. Although Kentucky lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year, they are not to be overlooked.
Head coach, John Calipari has recruited yet another outstanding freshmen class. The newly-added class includes three top-10 freshmen, and two top-10 forwards. Watch out Duke, Kentucky is coming for ya…
