#858 - Preseason awards and rankings love Duke

Duke Men’s Basketball is favored to do well in the ACC and nationally. We discuss all the preseason accolades on Episode 858! The ACC preseason polls and awards are out, and Duke is expected to be #1 in the conference. On top of that, several players earned nods for All-ACC teams and awards. Donald and Jason discuss how Duke stacks up against the rest of the ACC and who the writers think are the players that will stand out this season. We then get into the computer rankings as Ken Pomeroy, Bart Torvik, and Evan Miyakawa’s preseason computer rankings are all out. We start with KenPom, going through where Duke lands on the first rankings along with the rest of the ACC. Then, we discuss the Torvik and EvanMiya rankings, where Duke is also predicted to be the best team in the country but has some wild expectations for some of the players.
