College basketball season has officially begun. I mean, the season really began in early November, but now that the college football season is over, you can start paying attention to hoops.
For those who are easing into basketball season, Monday night offered two opportunities to see top men's title contenders come away with statement victories. Two of the best teams in the nation—Duke and Arizona—picked up impressive wins that showed why they should be considered threats to cut down the nets in Indianapolis in April.
No. 4 Duke demolished No. 20 Louisville in Durham, 83–52, behind another standout performance from freshman and potential No. 1 draft pick Cameron Boozer. He had 19 points and 10 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season and was one of four Blue Devils players to score in double figures.
Louisville coach Pat Kelsey said five times during his postgame press conference that "We got our butt kicked." It's tough to disagree with that assessment. The game marked the first time in three years that Louisville had lost a game by at least 30 points.
