Analysis: Duke's win over Kentucky showed that the Blue Devils are officially back After missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995, the Blue Devils made a statement by beating Kentucky.

Wendell Moore - Pours double-digit points Moore recorded 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over Kentucky.

Impact Duke came away with the win in what was a tough season opener, and while Trevor Keels and Paolo Banchero combined for more than half of the Blue Devils' scoring haul, Moore recorded a well-rounded stat line while also being the only other Duke player who scored in double digits. Moore might very well work as the team's third-best scoring option during most of the season as long as both Banchero and Keels remain healthy.

Paolo Banchero - Flashes pro potential Banchero had 22 points (7-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 79-71 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Banchero heads into this season with incredibly lofty expectations and has so far looked the part. He likely might have seen an even better final stat line had he not had to leave the game due to what appeared to be cramping on multiple occasions. While teammate Trevor Keels arguably stole the show with a game-high 25 points, Banchero should be able to keep pace with that scoring while offering more rebounding upside at 6-10, giving him the makings of both a real-life and fantasy superstar. A person of his stature simply shouldn't be able to move like he does, and those that do typically find their way to the NBA in short order.

Trevor Keels - Propels Duke with 25 Keels had a game-high 25 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three steals and two assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 79-71 victory over Kentucky.

Impact With much of the spotlight on teammate Paolo Banchero -- who also chipped in 22 -- Keels arguably stole the show. He has a large, linebacker-like frame for a shooting guard that helps him score around the rim, and he even occasionally takes the ball up the court. On the defensive end, he held a five-star prospect in Tyty Washington in check. It's only one game, but the freshman's stock is already skyrocketing.
