Anybody watching Duke vs Texas?
-
@BShark Grayson and Bagley having foul trouble helps too
-
Yeah there is a big drop-off with Duke if they don’t have tripper out there.
-
@BShark Tripper is a good nickname for Grayson.
-
Duke is as thin as we are which the media conveniently overlooks. Foul trouble will be troublesome for them like it is now.
-
They are moving the ball really well.
-
@BShark can we pick this up on Slack?

Super thin at guard. Only 3 worth a piss basically.
-
@BShark Like I said elsewhere Texas is no dog - -we going to have matchup problems on the inside - they taking it to Bagly and Carter. - -Doke takes one but who takes the other? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Bamba is really good. Their other post players are jags and do not worry me. Hell they are looking to process James Banks at the end of the year.
-
Man look at the shorthorns!
-
Duke 12-21 at the line. Unfortunately for K and the devils, the officials cannot also shoot the free throws.
-
Duke does not play D

I wouldn’t necessarily call Sims and soesikowski or whatever how you spell he crazy name as warn dog doo -So- - -so is built like a brick shi- -house with out a brick missing.
I’m not sure I want a # 1 ranking given to us, We maybe but we are just so thin - These holiday preseason tourneys -are killers.
Purdue loses Twice - -Arizona loses twice - - -Oregon Loses - - Duke in Trouble. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 jag = just a guy so like they are okay but they are the level of post player that you expect at P5 program.
Bamba is special.
-
@BShark OH - - ok - - my bad , - - Osetkowski is solid - -just wonder how can we match up with him and Bamba? - -De-Sousa has to get here and soon lol. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Texas is missing dunks now.

You can see the pee running down their leg. And it’s not like they can look to their coach for help, he’s probably dazed and confused.
-
Unbelievable shit show from these refs.
-
Yep Texas can’t get stops and gave Duke momentum with missed layups.
-
Refs making sure Duke stays close. That was a blatant foul by Carter.

Yeah…hacked him completely across the arm. This is what I was bitching about earlier.

Same old short horns. No PG, no shooters.
-
Texas could still pull this off

And this is why I’m not that worried about Texas - Shaks Smarts coaching.
-
Coach K at the end of regulation is like “I wrote you that check for a win, not a tie.”

Exactly. I will keep beating this drum too.
Also, like I said no PG and no shooters.
-
Poor coach, poor shooting and no point guard = ku win
-
Sims is a stupid freshman. O-kowski isnt bad.
-
The foul disparity is garbage.

And expected.
-
@approxinfinity Texas made several stupid plays. After this season, Self will be 6-0 against Shaka coached Texas.
-
Me thinks Florida could take down Puke.
-
Still shocked they gave this one away. Dukes interior D was awful. Texas jacking up useless threes. I just don’t understand.
-
Horrible late game execution. Missed dunks. Duke officiating. Texas can blame themselves for horrible shot selection in the last 5 minutes of regulation, though. Just terrible.
-
Are we really going to assume sweeping Texas after they’re taking Duke to OT and leading most of the game?
UT is the 2nd most talented team in the Big 12 and Mo Bamba is the real deal on defense. Those won’t be easy games for Kansas.

Feel free to think a Shaka team will ever win anything. I see the same old problems here. Grayson missed a ton of time with foul trouble. Then when Duke wanted to, they turned the screws.
-
When Duke started attacking, Texas showed they have a tendency to foul. Duke picked up the defensive intensity and Texas had a hard time scoring, plus they have no shooters. If we pack the paint, rebound and attack them, we will win.
-
Grayson didn’t matter. If Texas didnt give the game away I would be in complete agreement with @Texas-Hawk-10
-
Grayson is their best guard and the drop-off from their 3rd to 4th guard is huge.
-
Headed over to slack.
-
Texas doesn’t suck, but they showed several easily exploitable weaknesses that we can capitalize on.
-
Exactly. They could beat KU in a single game of course, too many factors to say otherwise. And they are not a terrible team but they have a lot of issues.
-
@BShark I didn’t say 2nd best, I said 2nd most talented. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if KU won the league by 4 or 5 games this year. After KU, there is a huge drop off to the 2nd tier of teams and I would put UT in that 2nd tier along with WVU, TCU, and Baylor. 2nd place in the Big 12 could very easily could easily be a 2 or 3 way tie at 11-7 and I wouldn’t be shocked if UT is in that group.
-
I don’t know if I’d be that cocky about our Big 12 chances. What we saw from UT today is a team that could win the Big 12. Given the fact that KU is two fouls away from Mitch Lightfoot guarding in the post, nothing is a given, and nothing should be even assumed. Now, if we add a functional DeSousa? We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. But it’s unrealistic in my mind to see this team as a winning the league by such a margin.
I will be shocked if we win by 4 or 5 games.
Remember the folks we are too good to play down I-35? Sure wish somehow they were in our league.
-
@HighEliteMajor This team has a killer instinct that we haven’t seen in years from a Kansas team. These last 2 games have been against teams projected to win their leagues and KU has put a foot on their throat from tip off and never gave them a chance to believe they could win
West Virginia is supposed to be the 2nd best team, yet they get blown away by an undermanned Texas A&M, TCU struggles against New Mexico. Baylor looks like the 2nd best team right now so what you’re saying @HighEliteMajor is that you think Scott Drew or Shaka Smart are good enough coaches to win more games than Kansas this year.
There’s not a definite bad team in the Big 12 which is why computers always love the Big 12, but there’s nobody in KU’s class this year and I’ve watched of the teams play already expect for OSU and KSU this year.
KU might drop a couple of games here and there, but there’s not a lot of talented bigs in the Big 12 this year so I’m not overly concerned if KU has to go with Lightfoot a few games because of foul trouble. Our backcourt is more than good enough to make up for that. KU wins at least 14 league games this year and I don’t see them losing before conference play starts either.

And I could’ve sworn I saw Smart say “I’m sorry.” Seriously.
