Sure, Duke vs. UNC is arguably the most appealing and marketable rivalry in college hoops, but UK and Duke are the two biggest brands in the sport. They're led by Hall of Fame coaches -- who are polarizing to plenty outside of their own fan bases, but still undeniably great -- and now operate similarly in how they compete for national titles.
Which is to say: Duke and Kentucky are lottery-pick factories. Both programs are highly represented on my list of the 20 must-see freshmen in 2018-19. On Tuesday night we'll get our first look at a lot of big names that promise to get even bigger almost immediately.
Pick: Kentucky -1
So very amped for this game. I trust Kentucky to be more cohesive and defensively capable immediately. Remember, Duke's downfall last season was its sieve-like issues on defense. I don't expect the Blue Devils to be in rare form right away. Kentucky's got more experience and, overall, has a bigger team. I think that plays a part. sound from the jump. Reid Travis goes for 16 and 12, Kentucky shoots decently enough from 3-point range to offset Duke's offense, and UK is never threatened in the second half. Wildcats win in a good one that won't be decided in the final minute.

My prediction is, if espn and Dickie Vitale have anything to do with it, we lose. Otherwise, we win by 8.

Good call, Norm. I'm so happy to have my SportSync radio for these games. ESPN and Dookie V are so biased for Puke it's impossible to listen to.

You have to Google "SportSync radio" and order directly from them. It's not in any stores that I know of or on Amazon.
