@kjayhawks He’s stepping up but wish Storr got more run 2nd half
Bill must have seen something he didn’t like
Pretty easy to see what he didn’t like. Every time he got in a situation where he was guarding flag or the other dude (kneuple??) he went for a steal and was left way out of position and it led to points for Duke.
Yes Storr was better in the first and Griffen in the second, that’s why we have both lol

@benshawks08 exposed those poor handles we saw in late game situations we saw with UK

Future KU opponent Furman playing right now on the same floor on ESPNU
-
Don’t care what anyone says - -KJ was a Man tonight. Eight points, big buckets in clutch time, after Hunter is ejected-- but Eight points , Three Blocks , Three Steals, and Three assists an incredible job on Flagg when he was defending him
-
@SlimShaddy54 the stat line doesn’t come close to his energy and moxy tonight. He was an absolute force.
-
@approxinfinity haha nah - 75% of the board won’t see it! I’ll let another poster do it
Bill >>kuballin10 - I know hard to believe
Defensively turned up
Storr started was great
Juan was INCREDIBLE
KJ’s D won us this game
-
@kuballin10 It’s like watching the Grinch’s heart grow two sizes in real time. Figuratively of course. Cardiomegaly is real bad
-
Tonight’s game brought back a lot of old memories for me about Duke.
I have tried. I have tried, over the years, to soften my view of the world and that includes Duke.
F - PUKE!
They go out and play dirty then whine for every little call. Scheyer is a p*ssy! They can buy the best recruits. They can own the refs. But they remain the team America hates.
Hunter’s foot tap was wrong. He didn’t deserve to be ejected. And what about the guy who undercut him? Talk about a REAL RISK OF INJURY!
F - PUKE!
-
And I’m glad ratface was in attendance to see them lose again!

@StLJhawk said in KU vs Duke Game Thread:
Refs talking to duke players, “c’mon we’re trying to give you the game, help us out”
This is the reason I came here, and this is literally the first comment I scroll to… BS… ESPN put the word out: Duke wins this game.
-
@drgnslayr fffff emmm!!! We are more tied in with Unc via Roy ect
I’ll never cheer for them
-
@kuballin10 Are you feeling OK??
Glad you were able to see D2 give a D1 performance.
-
Gotta love that the officials were also clueless that, ya’know, once ejected you have to leave the court (not the building Fran you big meanie).
-
I am shocked the refs booted HD. F2s/ejections are reserved for egregious behavior and should be used responsibly. What is the point of F1s? No to mention, HD was getting mauled for 10 straight minutes before that, with no love from the zebras. So he got frustrated, and lashed out. F1 and move on. Let the best players decide the game.
-
@drgnslayr Was Bobby Hurley at the game? Or is Bobby just rat face jr. I know you meant Coach K.
-
@patoh3 Tonight I saw the Juan Bill sees……controlled the pace of the game from the jump
ATTACKED
Shot a clutch 3
Had an And1
Shut the other teams guards down defensively
I’m talking all American stuff tonight - efff best game he’s potentially played
KJ was the same - A STUD DEFENSIVELY
Flory got huge minutes/experience
HOW ABOUT EVERYONES FREE THROWS???
“We are tough and we got guards” - Goat Bill
Zeke needs to pull the trigger quicker but effects the game in other ways
-
@P-H-C I really couldn’t say it better. I’ve never seen such a ridiculous F2. The officials lost control.
-
Even if Duke had won, their true fans would have wanted HD to be in there. No one wants to be handed a game like that w/out earning it outright.

@approxinfinity PHOF
-
@kuballin10 this times 100. Did we just become best friends? Want to do karate in the garage?
-
The insane number of posts. Holy smokes. Wow Jayhawks.
-
@Zabudda sorry
I’ll go back to lurking and dreaming of a PHOF…
-
KJ Adams is the G-D man tonight. Owned Flagg tonight on defense. Dejuan owned Flagg on offense. Flagg couldn’t do anything to stop Dejaun getting to the rim and causing chaos all night.
-
This is also the best KU game I’ve been to in person. The only other contender is the 2020 Baylor game in Waco when Baylor was #1 and KU was #3.
-
To paraphrase LSU, SUCK THAT JAYHAWK D*** DOOK
-
@FarmerJayhawk there you are. You were quiet tonight!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 you weren’t at the last mizzou v ku game in the phog? My condolences.
-
@PharmacyHawk yep! Out with friends and I try to stay off my phone
-
@FarmerJayhawk fair enough. All my “friends” are too busy being adults with their wives/families. Gross, right?
Edit: kidding of course all
Happy Thanksgiving Jayhawks.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m glad you experienced that game in person!
-
Cooper is a baller. No doubt. But he’s 17 and he’s already choked twice now! He will no doubt choke in March, too, because he’s a friggin’ kid.
He’s “fool’s gold” for Duke. Everything rides on him. I prefer our team full of experienced players and a 5-year PG who already has a ring.
Scheyer is Calipari2. Speaking of Calipari… I’ve heard the first “buyer’s remorse” is going down in Hogtown! I’m shocked! lol
-
Bucketeer of the day award to @Texas-Hawk-10 for cheering them on to victory!!
-
Just read something funny. For the Champions classic ESPN’s matchup predictor gave Duke a 70% chance to beat Kentucky. Tonight it was a 69% chance for them to beat us.
Ya’ll know how those two games worked out for duke?
-
@wissox One win away from evening up the all time series.
Edit: off topic but Auburn looks good. Hyper athletic.
-
Lost my mind on that flagrant call on Hunter. Miraculous win and probably one that was not appreciated by all those who thought they had paid enough $$$ to the refs.
How do refs spend 5 minutes to make the wrong call? I mean, on that play alone, the more dangerous and intentional foul was the Duke player undercutting HD when he was going up for the rebound. When a 7’ 2" guy comes down ass over tea kettle, it’s not that surprising that arms and legs come down awkwardly.
Fran et al. idiots @ espn thought it “seemed” like it was intentional. That’s not the rule. Flagrant 2 is for punches and kicks. Not a foot coming down on another player who cut his legs out from under him. And the nonsense about “reputation” has got to get vetted. Are the refs there to punish players? Are they there to teach someone a lesson —looking for an opportunity to make a point?

@bskeet Hunt was hacked all night. I do think he started to force the issue, and the “kick” may have been out of frustration, but egregious and worthy of ejection? No shot. The aftermath where the officials tried to reestablish control where they actually started calling fouls pissed me off more to be honest. I hate when you call a game differently half way through.
It may have worked out in our favor in the end though. Flory got some great big time minutes and the team responded. It may end up being some of that identity and resilience a team searches for.
-
@PharmacyHawk Silver linings… Perhaps.
-
@MoonwalkMafia good to hear from you!
-
@wissox he’s a lucky guy!
-
@FarmerJayhawk thoughts on flagrant 2 call?
-
@drgnslayr I’d like to see a replay of him and the Mrs rat face riding off in the sunset in the back of the cart after his last loss! 🥲
-
@Crimsonorblue22 absolutely absurd. Never seen anything like it. Take 5 minutes at the monitor to toss a guy for at most an flagrant 1
-
@FarmerJayhawk just like the out of bounds review that took forever. Please put a time limit on reviews, if it’s not clear in a couple minutes. It can not be considered conclusive IMO
-
Interesting I was looking at KenPom this morning to see if we moved up at all with DooK being ahead of us before last nights game…We did not and according to them Dook is one of the unluckiest teams this year. I’d love to hear an explanation of that one of our starters is toss after a weak call with 10 minutes to go but they aren’t lucky lmao
-
I agree Hunter should of ben called for a flagrant - -but a flagrant 2 ? come on now , let’s be real. First of all the kid from Duke like they said was a clear undercut , which could of caused injury to Hunter - -Hunter reacted , I had just said one of these times Hunter is going to get us in trouble and it’s going to cost us BUT to be ejected think extreme flagrant 2— think that’s a little much.
Who knows though in the over all grand scheme of things might of ben really beneficial for us, seeing how the team pulled together even more. Some big plays by KU players after that stretch KJ hit like three big buckets, and really strong defense, Zeke hitting a big bucket when it seemed the ball bounced on the rim and finally in forever , Rylan hitting two huge buckets and making those two free throws late –
These guys showed up , some real toughness in a bad spot by losing Hunter -they showed me some toughness for sure last night. For me KJ’s defense on Flagg last night was really good, and yet he did so many other things Juan stating KJ can guard 1-5 and yet 8 points ( ya I know )- -it was 8 points but at key time of game late 3 steals , 3 blocks , and 3 assists - - – looks fine to me and yet we gonna have ( Haters gonna hate )
I will say this checking the box score , KU had 10 offensive rebounds this game – dam when is the last time we have done that – good job. – KU out rebounded Duke against that taller line up another Good job-- now on to our next game -
Dam wish we could get Sauq healthy we need more back up for Juan. - -36 minutes last night
-
Duke got 9 fouls out of their bench. Hack city.
-
@approxinfinity It was interesting after the ejection that the zebras started making up and we got the preponderance of the whistles after that.
-
By the way, Grayson Allen was never ejected from a game.
-
During this early round match between Dickinson and #5 Duke with world #1 Dickinson up 2 love and serving, (announcer) Oh my: a foot fault, (Fran McEnroe) That was called a flagrant 2 foot fault, (announcer) I’ve never heard of that, (Fran) That’s okay I make shit up all the time.
