April 7, 201511 yr Duke's freshmen carried Duke. Put them on their back and carried them. UK's freshmen were good but most of the time they neither did that nor were asked to do that.
April 7, 201511 yr The best freshman class in the country. Hard to say otherwise at this point... I don't like admitting it, but I don't know how you can argue otherwise. I will say their top three freshmen were the best trio in the country. Hard to toss Grayson Allen in there, only averaging four points on the season, but he sure stepped up tonight.
April 7, 201511 yr Basketball is ultimately a guard-driven game, and Duke's guards were superior. Congrats to Coach K and the Devils!
April 7, 201511 yr Okafor a slight edge over Towns Winslow significantly better than Lyles Jones better than Booker Ulis better than Allen I give the edge to Duke's freshmen. I'd think if you were going to compare the four on both teams, you'd have to compare Jones vs. Ulis and Booker vs. Allen.
April 7, 201511 yr I can't stand Duke, but you have to give it to them... they have now won 2 national titles during the Calipari at UK era. I'd say there is absolutely no doubt what state the college basketball center of gravity resides in, and it ain't the Bluegrass.
April 7, 201511 yr Author Grayson Allen looks a little like and definitely played like Jimmy Chitwood tonight!
April 7, 201511 yr Congrats to the Duke fans on this board. I can't imagine how awesome it is for you all. Hearing all the talk about UK all year but you all the ones who end up holding up the championship trophy. Congrats! Ugh this sucks!
April 7, 201511 yr I'd think if you were going to compare the four on both teams, you'd have to compare Jones vs. Ulis and Booker vs. Allen. I take Jones over Ulis. I love Ulis but Jones puts the ball in the basket more than Ulis probably ever will.
April 7, 201511 yr I love Ulis, but I can't get behind that statement. Great battle between the two on the EYBL circuit last summer but there's a reason Tyus was rated as the best point guard in the country. He'll now have a ring and MOP trophy to justify it as well.

I'd say there is absolutely no doubt what state the college basketball center of gravity resides in, and it ain't the Bluegrass. UConn also has 2 and have owned UK in the tourney.
April 7, 201511 yr Understand what everyone is saying, but UK has also been there at the end each time as well. Cal came in and had to build them basically from scratch given the disaster that was Gillispie. K and Calhoun were at their programs for quite some time. Will be interesting to see if Ollie is able to keep UConn up at the clip that Calhoun had when he left.
April 7, 201511 yr I want to say Congrats to the BGP Duke Fans on your team winning the National Championship. Your teams play in this one deserved the win.
