KU vs Duke Game Thread

@Zabudda
pretty sweet we get a chance to kick unc and dukes ass in the same season. Put a little smudge on “the greatest rivalry in all of sports” BS about those 2
-
I just don’t get a good feel about this game tonight. Maybe if it was later in the year, I just think watching play so far this year Duke has played better- - so talented- - -Hope I’m wrong but could see high single to low double digit loss
Sorry to feel this way and again hope I’m wrong -their deeeep and very talented , I think they will take advantage of Hunters liabilities on our defensive end again hope I’m wrong , the one thing we have in our favor is they are young, but these aren’t your typical Freshmen
I just think AJ & Rylan still haven’t really settled in yet , just doesn’t look like they still aren’t really comfortable , makes a big difference in a game like this
The key in this would to be let Flagg get his but make the others work to get theirs don’t let others have career days - -for sure hope I’m wrong
-
I have to laugh at ESPNs analytics predictor giving Dook at 70.4% chance of winning. Even their number are bias towards them. I think we have better than a 29.6% chance of winning every time we hit the court lol
-
You can at least bank on the ref part. Hopefully it won’t be a deciding factor though.
-
Control the boards and make shots. I know we have left a bunch of points off the board by missing good open looks so far but I guess that’s to be expected with so many new pieces.
This is a game we need both Griffen and Storr to be impactful and consistent. Not sure we have seen that yet from both at the same time but those are the two guys we need their athletic and playmaking ability to come through playing Duke
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m curious to see the minutes distribution.
First half Self will play 9 but second half he will really tighten it up if it is close….
-
No Shak until maybe Christmas so that’s a bummer
-
@FarmerJayhawk Great- -seems like every yr always something or someone that can effect the roster
-
Wow his impact for the season just took a nosedive
-
@FarmerJayhawk because?
-
@FarmerJayhawk ya not practicing or playing til after Christmas he may as well redshirt

Can’t do a traditional, would have to try for a medical.
-
Looking like close to a 50/50 split in the crowd from what I can tell. Hard to definitively say since both schools are blue.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 right which is silly because I believe he has played 11 minutes
-
Cooper Flagg is touted as a/the generational talent. A generation is about 30 years in the real world. It’s a tall task to live up to that in one season. who has been hyped like this? Zion? Greg Oden? Anthony Davis? Willie Mays Hayes?
-
@Zabudda wiggins (not embiid)
Oh yeah Jabari Parker. Lol
-
Coach just said Flory is fine , no limitations on him. Had wisdom teethe pulled but he is fine
-
Now that more of the crowd is here, it’s probably about a 65/35 pro Kansas crowd.

LeBron, Flagg is the highest rated recruit since LeBron.

well that helps some anyways possibly
-
Great we have Fran smh
-
Time to beat the excuses out of Scheyer
-
Storr starting over Griffen tonight.
-
Getting Fran this early is a classic troll job by ESPN
-
They played both schools intro videos, KU’s is far superior to Duke’s.
-
Is this the game thread??
-
I’ve never admitted this to a single human being, but I HATE Duke. I hate every Duke player (ever), every Duke coach (ever) and every Duke fan(ever). I hate their pets. I hate Cooper Flagg the most of all.
Rock Chalk!
-
Ok i renamed this thread
-
Slather these bitches, Mayo!
-
Great d so far
-
Dude so wide open
-
Big H from 3!
-
Long night for Cooper looking like…
-
@approxinfinity that would be so awesome
-
I like storr in he is a slasher
-
I’m surprised they didn’t play flaggs birth to start the game
-
As good of a start as you could ask!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 ya he got a ton of potential but he’s not LeBron or KD yet
-
Yea if he has a good game we’ll never hear the end of it
-
I’ll take that start
-
This is the game that KJ silences the naysayers. Make Cooper go 2-11 with 5 turnovers
-
No time to post!
-
Hurley is a generational dick.
-
@approxinfinity If he has a bad game they won’t attribute it to KU’s defense. They’ll say he’s hungover and has ebola and covid. Plus his stock portfolio is down.
-
My wife was born on Flag day, not Flagg day though.
-
Bird flu from us!
-
Dog ate his homework
-
Mayo is a baller
-
Good, coach k is there
-
Dunk time
