No, this is just stupid.
I'm not saying Duke isn't really good, but let's not overreact.
Teams had no scout on each other because it was the first game. Duke played overseas games together, so they've had more exhibitions and practice time. UK's ranking is based on where they expect them to finish, not where they are today which is largely a team of players who are unfamiliar with one another.
This is a perfect blend for really talented players to shine because the organized defense against them isn't available yet.
If they still do this in conference against UNC, UVA and Syracuse, then I'll get concerned. There is absolutely NO college team that would beat an NBA team. The only team I ever saw that would come close was UNLV and even they wouldn't have done it. Losing at epic clips to other NBA teams is NOT a barometer for how a really good college team would fair.
