Grayson Allen Trippin' (to the bench)
-
And don’t believe the hype if anyone says Allen would have made a difference . We all know how well he plays against good teams.
-
Carolina also lost today. I wish Indiana would have shot as poorly as they have been the last few games against us. We should not have lost to those guys.
-
@ralster I was just thinking about this last night. Coach K had TWO chances prior to the latest tripping incident by Allen to do the right thing and discipline his player. He failed. I used to respect Coach K for being one of the all time greats. I dont any more. He may have the all time wins record but imo he’s lost all credibility with me. Cant wait to see him retire, cant come soon enough. I hope that Allen terd gets baited into tripping some one again and gets kicked off the team for it.

@BShark WOW
-
@Lulufulu maybe he whispered in his
And we missed it. No
On this time!

Imagine that post in a Verne Lundquist voice.
Give me a Kennard type player every day of the week. Tatum’s game is cancerous from what I’ve seen of him (he is very skilled though).
-
I would definitely like to have a Kennard type player. But… one of the issues at Duke is defense. Not sure where any of Duke’s players fit as quality defenders… but I know how to play devil’s advocate. And if (and when) Duke goes down in March, Duke fans will want to place blame. Their fan base is really stoked about having a big year. Dangerous… I sort of feel sorry for Kennard, because he could end up taking some blame when all he has done is step up and outperform all expectations!
-
It’s weird because Duke has the post bodies to be good defensively.
-
Agreed, I think Tatum is the issue for Duke right now. Skilled, will be a NBA player but I don’t see team player in him at all. Actually after watching their last 3 games I don’t see much “team” in them. Lots of chiefs, no indians
-
They just lack playing together for a long period of time to mesh as a team.
-
Coach K is emperor of basketball though, how can this be? :p
-
@BeddieKU23 Giles or bolden play today?
-
Barely. 13 (Giles) and 3 (Bolden) minutes. Such a killer with Bolden, because he’d be getting pt at KU.
-
@BShark was tripper w/the team?
-
DNP suspended
-
@ralster was watching the Duke- -Virginia Tech game today, Cory Alexander was commentating the game, and what he thought about the whole situation. He said it should of been taken out of Coach K’s hands and the ACC should of made a determination. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark I know, just wondered if he traveled.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He was in street clothes on the bench, looking all pouty and sad, enough to make his mommy cry, no doubt.
-
@mayjay did the crowd hassle him? Thx for info.
-
To be honest, I cannot wait til K retires, as well as Roy…just to see what happens…(same as watching what ksu does post-Snyder…)
But we know what will happen–> that same Duke $$$ that was trying to buy the Rules of Basketball, will then turn it’s devlish blue head to try to hire a coach to preserve their perceived greatness…They could make a run at anybody. Pay him $5-7mil/yr. Better destination job than an NBA gig, if a guy can cut it at the royalty level.
Ask Calipari, does he want to flounder in the breeze at NJ Nets, or be the talk-o-the town in Lexington, KY? I doubt Cal leaves for NBA. Also doubt he accepts any offer from Duke, as he’ll just show it to KY AD, to up his ante, just like Gregg Marshall worked WSU/Koch with the offers he got from GA (or was it AL?) and UCLA…now dear Gregg is a top10 coach in pay.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I find myself frequently wondering if Grayson Allen traveled. Badumtish!
In all seriousness, has he been stripped of his captainship so that he might be reinstated next game? Has Coach K found his loophole? Garbage! The lot of them!
-
-
@mayjay I heard they were yelling “we want Grayson”
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Well, like I said, I didn’t hear it. didn’t say I was paying a lot of attention. It was Duke, after all, and my stomach has its limitations…
Happy 2017! Only 15 minutes away, here. Soon, I can post a message from the future!
-
@mayjay eastern time. Same to you. Have to take my son to airport at 4:15 am.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Midnight EST! Happy New Year to the entire Midwest! My 2016 ended sooner than yours!!!
-
Coach K’s comments after the game were arrogant and patronizing but he never imagined the backlash that followed and he was force to backpedal. Basically he bluffed, his bluff was called and he folded like cheap suit; however, as much as he lost on this hand, he still has sizeable war chest to continue playing. Now that people are on to him he will need to be a lot more careful; a couple of more losing hands like this and his war chest disappears
