January 26, 201115 yr I think Ohio St is better than Duke with or without Irving. No way, no how. Duke would have 3 of the top 10 players in the country in the starting line up.
January 26, 201115 yr OK a few less "enters". Point is the are clearly the best team right now. They are the best team just because they've escaped defeat for now and remain undefeated. If you check their previous games then there is no way you can say they are far and away the best team right now. As of now (a Irvingless Duke team), I don't think there will be a clearcut favorite. I think there is about 3,4 maybe 5 teams that are all legitimately right there and could claim they are the best team.
January 26, 201115 yr No way, no how. Duke would have 3 of the top 10 players in the country in the starting line up. Irving I'll give you, but who are the other two? I think it's a stretch to put Singler and Smith in there (assuming that's who you're talking about).
January 26, 201115 yr No way, no how. Duke would have 3 of the top 10 players in the country in the starting line up. Kyrie Irving, Duke Jared Sullinger, Ohio State Kemba Walker, Connecticut Jordan Hamilton, Texas Jimmer Fredette, BYU JaJuan Johnson, Purdue LaceDarius Dunn, Baylor Jacob Pullen, Kansas State Perry Jones, Baylor Josh Selby, Kansas Derrick Williams, Arizona That's 11 right off the top of my head, and I left some guys (Hummel, Singleton, Leonard, Jones, etc.), off that I could easily put as on par if not beter than Smith and Singler.

Lol this list is not even close to being acceptable. Smith AND Singler belong over all of those guys except Sullinger, Walker, Jimmer, and MAYBE JaJuan Johnson.

Come on now.
January 26, 201115 yr Must not watch much Big 12 ball...:ohbrother: :lol: You must not of watched the NCAA tournament last year. They even beat both Purdue and Baylor (practically a home game for them).
January 26, 201115 yr I would say right now its clearly OSU. Pitt, Nova,BYU, and San Diego State are also in the mix. IF Duke, Kentucky, Texas and Washington keep a hot streak going, they may also have a chance.
January 26, 201115 yr You must not of watched the NCAA tournament last year. They even beat both Purdue and Baylor (practically a home game for them). So because Duke as a team is better than Purdue or Baylor, that means the individual players on Duke are all individually better than those on Purdue or Baylor? Interesting...Perry Jones wasn't on Baylor last year FYI.
January 26, 201115 yr So because Duke as a team is better than Purdue or Baylor, that means the individual players on Duke are all individually better than those on Purdue or Baylor? Interesting...Perry Jones wasn't on Baylor last year FYI. I don't know what you're really talking about, but I would give you the benefit of the doubt if this were about future NBA prospects. All the guys you mentioned might have better pro careers than Smith or Singler, but those two are definitely the better college players.
January 26, 201115 yr Derrick Williams: 29 MPG, 19.7 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.1 APG, 0.8 BPG, .623 FG%, .704 3PT%, .758 FT% Kyle Singler: 33.7 MPG, 18.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.6 APG, 0.4 BPG, .444 FG%, .387 3PT%, .803 FT% Jordan Hamilton: 30.8 MPG, 19.5 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 2.3 APG, 0.6 BPG, .410 FG%, .365 3PT%, .750 FT% Yeah, Singler is just clearly better than the guys I listed...
January 26, 201115 yr Also, you honestly think Josh Selby is a better play than Nolan Smith...? Yes. 2 years from now we'll be hearing about Selby as an impact guy at the next level. Same won't be said about Smith.

The numbers don't really back that up (especially in Singler's case), but you're entitled to your own opinion. :thumb: He said that they beat Purdue and Baylor in the tournament last year, like that somehow means Smith and Singler are better than anyone on Baylor's or Purdue's team.
