Wow, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to sleep because of a loss to Duke and the zebras. Now I can’t go to sleep because of this awesome finish.
Anyone know how long our winning streak is?
I believe it’s at 14 right now.
-
@Kcmatt7 and the bigs figure it out
Kj shut me up - Huge and 1 - dude is vital from Baylor
-
plus…Tucky chokes out a win and we gain 1 game in overall!
-
Any day Duke and Kentucky lose and KU wins is a happy trifecta
-
@BShark try being in EST!
-
@DanR on espn
-
too hepped up to sleep now. i LOVE IT…DOOK GOES DOWN IN FLAMES
-
This team has a real chance to repeat if they stay healthy.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 im feeling it
-
-
Come at the kings you best not miss
-
If I’m a Duke fan I’m kind of mad at Roach right now. He wasn’t very good
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 huge load on Gradey MJ and Bobby to give us scoring we lost. The defense is there already
-
@Crimsonorblue22 True. They’re trying to show all the UK highlights right now. I’m sure it’ll be a Duke highlight fest until the show the final score where KU won.

Harris may have had a little to do with that.

No doubt but Roach did too

Post game is on espn+

Gotta tell you guys - - Pretty dam proud of these guys , NO QUIT in them , Had Dick show up late came up big - - whole team stayed with it.
Positive things if we can win a game like this shooting like 2-19 from the three and like 15 turnovers and still manage a way to win - -that’s a huge PLUS… Duke length showed in the 2nd hal but Jalen was just a MAN 25 & 11 - -got to love it

And that defense is only going to get better
-
Who told gradey to get with it?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 probably his mom was there

I know one thing this defense is just crazy , give them a little more ya buddy
-
No double block highlight on ESPN Sportscenter. even though that was really the highlight of the game.
-
@DanR was thinking the same thing

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Dook Game Thread:
Beat Duke in football and basketball.
Suck it, Duke
I hope we play them in baseball.
-
You know what give em a little time I think KJ - - Udeh - -& Zuby all gonna be key – they all played a little bit in this - - KJ some critical scores - - -Zuby just energy some big rebounds - -and dam as a team can you beleive this block party, it’s like we gonna challenge everything
-
Kj’s last bucket was pretty tough!
-
@approxinfinity Bill needs to define some roles with this tape.
Bobby gotta hit floaters and threes - always be in attack mode
Gradey - Shoot as much as Jalen
MJ - Be a dog - attack and dunk on people (he’d have a lob had he played tonight)
These guys are taking to Self’s play quick and thank Juan and the other experienced guys (even bench guys) for that
-
@jayballer67 Zuby is a rebounding machine - did it in high school and circuit against legit bigs
Bill should be forcing minutes his way
When game slows down for him he’s gonna be nasty T rob jr
-
@Jethro - must be ugly on the KY boards. And, they fall back another game in all-time wins!
-
-
@wissox Ha! Dook blaming the refs for the loss??
-
Scheyer not gonna get K calls. Not gonna control the locker room egos. Long season. Popcorn pls.
-
@StLJhawk Unbelievable. I mean when your team has 3 fouls with a minute left in the 2nd half and you’ve shot way more FT’s than your opponent it really just demonstrates how much people get blinded by their affection for a certain team.
-
@wissox all you can do is not feed the trolls
-
@approxinfinity Yeah, it’s kind of a sport of mine!
-
UNC won by 6 at home against Gardner Webb, empty seats all over the place. Maybe we’d have trouble filling a huge arena like that too but it’s kind of surprising.
-
Harris more assists than the other team combined.
-
Dukes trees combined for 2 blocks. 4 of our players had 2 or more blocks.
-
Since I didn’t see the game, will someone describe the Duke technical foul please?
-
@Gorilla72 Flop. But it was questionable. The guy landed on Udeh’s feet and fell over. Looked like a flop, but it was just because he landed wrong after shooting.
-
Watched the game at midnight. Holy cow don’t know where to start.
We have guys who really know the game and can flat out ball. McCullers was so valuable. KJ what can you say other than he is one tough ass playerand put the ball in the hole. Udeh and Zuby made their mark in a big way. We have depth!!
DuJuan was better than any Duke guard on both ends, great game! Grady is a freak!! Highlight reel plays and Jay Bilas will realize that he is a terror on defense too. This was J Will’s best game I think. All American stuff. What can ya say? The whole team was focused and poised. So Impressive.
Duke played like punks and the refs made them pay. You could see the plan was to rough our guys up and beat us down with their length and depth. That last foul on J Will made my blood boil. But who was tougher? Yeah eff you Dook.
-
Exactly!
-
Summed up well my friend!

That guy was really struggling last night. Said some really vile things to a friend of mine (then deleted them).

13 blocks against Duke I think we got more athletic. Really got after them on D despite being short handed I loved it.

Not looking good for Zach I’ll say that.

KU player fouled Duke guy on a three. He didn’t get the call. Landed on KU players foot, then after a slight delay flailed around on the way to the floor. - missed call (hand slap on three) followed by a flop - would’ve gone Dukes way in the past.
-
Only two guys that really couldn’t stay on the floor in stretches were Udeh and joe. And they both still did things defensively that kept the game close.
Not sure that it is fair that for joe to play he really needs to score. But with Juan doing Juan things and Bobby being Bobby that kinda the only role available for him. I still think he will get a look most nights to see if his shot is falling. Love that we can trust him to play tough d no matter what anytime he steps on the floor.
Udeh had his first moments where the game looked a bit too fast for him. He had some bad moments where he looked lost or failed to convert on plays we really need him to convert on but still again plays hard. Effort never in doubt. Made some huge blocks. He will be fine.
Bobby didn’t do anything great but also didn’t make any big blunders. There was a time early where I wondered if he’d be able to handle roach when Harris sat. He struggled at first but then settled in and was able to contain him. Even in the second half, Bobby stayed on roach when Harris got the assignment of shutting down that freshman who found his stroke in the second half. (I don’t remember his name but probably because it didn’t get called after Harris switched onto him)
Overall very impressed with where this team is defensively. I guess it shouldn’t be too surprising when you start 3 guys that you wouldn’t be shocked if they showed up in defensive player of the year lists (Juan, Kevin, and kj). This team not only plays hard on defense but does things from a team perspective that we usually don’t see until later in the year. The rotations are super crisp most of the time. The athleticism is there to challenge at the rim (clearly if we can challenge that Duke team at the rim we can do it to anyone). The hands and anticipation of those three defensive studs will continue to give the other team fits all year.
