It's hard to not overreact to the first week of Duke basketball-- and yet overreact we do. Never you fear, however: I am here to help you understand whether your small sample size reaction is justified or completely out of line. We talk Jaylen Blakes, Christian Reeves's redshirt, Flip's start to the season, the quality of Duke's defense, and more. I also discuss how weak the ACC is for the second straight year-- and I preview the Duke-Kansas game to the best of my ability given the small sample we have from both teams.

Per usual, please shoot any and all feedback to @DukeBetter, and I'll hope to improve with Episode 17. And if you haven't, please set your DVRs to record In Merry Measure, airing on Hallmark Channel this holiday season, written by yours truly. As always, #DDMF and #GTHC.
