HIDE YO KIDZ! KU DUKE LIVE CHAT
-
@kjayhawks love it! He’ll kiss Morris butt forever
-
11:05 pm.
These late games are going to be great this year.
-
A shot of Tito’s vodka to celebrate and relax so I can wake up at 5am tomorrow morning.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 ewww
-
Obviously happy for the win tonight - but mark my words - we will get our asses handed to us on a regular basis if we don’t start hitting some 3 pointers, but especially if we don’t learn how to shoot free throws. Missing free throws is on the coach - i would guess he doesn’t have them shoot FT’s for 5 minutes during any given practice.
-
Sweet. I hosted a KU Buckets live game chat. Lots of fun. Duke got exposed. Kentucky looked long. Not good, but really fast and long.
-
Losing Josh really hurt. That said, his performance tonight was otherwise quite nice, hopefully he has turned a corner.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Fortunately tomorrow is career day at my school so I don’t have to do anything in the morning.
-
@nuleafjhawk ok Ned! We just beat #1 not playing our best
-
@nuleafjhawk Agreed Fts too
-
@nuleafjhawk Was a regression. we were 80%ish from ft last game.
-
@nuleafjhawk We shot them pretty well against Indy, but not tonight.
-
@DanR you terrible that was a redicalos analogy

Hopefully tired legs/long travel factor.
-
@approxinfinity and bad before that. They’ll be better.
-
Hell, we beat #1 duke and the refs. I’m not looking for problems from this game

@DanR any day we beat Duke is a fabulous day.
-
-
@BShark I think he did. He was very aggressive, made a few shots and looked to drive it to the hoop. Him playing like that takes us to another level. Played pretty good d too
-
@Crimsonorblue22 amen to that
-
2-16 from 3 and 9-19 from the line in addition to a lot of missed layups and silly mistakes. If they can clean that up then they are going to be really hard to beat.
Until then, thank the lord for Frank Mason.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich and great D
-
Need stats

I don’t care how it happens, but any win against Duke is sweet, even if they played with only 6 guys all night. Udunka gets a game ball as does JJ who is going to have to learn to keep his head focused. His stupid T led to him fouling out when we needed him. Frank of course though is the MVP. Two quick, ridiculous fouls and he’s on the bench, and comes back and well, you know.
-
Ku didn’t play their best and we played against 8, A win against Duke is a good win period
-
Your name feels familiar.
-
So who went w/Jesse and predicted a loss?
-
-
JJ is gonna stop getting in foul trouble, Frank and Devonte will stay home in half court d on 3pt shooters, Udoka will continue to get better stamina, Bragg’s swag is coming on, and we’ll start putting together some decimating 20-2 runs of some bad teams.
I love that we can be a lob team one game, a slashing team the next, turn on the on-ball pressure and create turnovers after halftime… we have so many faces this year. Bill likes planning ahead, it makes it less predictable when we can be so many things so well.
-
@BShark ahh, no words!
-
@BShark guessing a bunch of push-ups in order for forgiveness
-
@BShark Used this username on ESPN back in the day.
-
They’ve played their 2 toughest games until March. Time to fine tune now.
-
@BShark I did. I totally thought they would lose this game too but I figured it would be a very close game
-
Bragg looked more comfortable tonight. Hit a huge shot at the end of the shot clock. We will continue getting better.
-
Bill Self just out Small balled Coach K.
KU just out hustled Duke and beat them on the glass.
Udoka is easily better than Cliff and Diallo. Easily, and this is just his second game!
-
@BShark we probably need a team vote if u can come back!
-
-
For those who say we beat Duke minus 3 MCD’s AA, did they not still have 5 of them? We have 4 right?
-
Udoka is going to be on Wooden watch next year.
-
-
@Lulufulu Udoka is eventually going to be the starter. He is starting to get it and understand how to play. We will be very good in March
-
The only constant in our victories in the Champions Classic have been having Duke as the opponent and Frank Mason being an absolute star. This win tonight was so much more than just one win. It was a win in a tournament we have struggled in, a win against the #1 team in the country, a win against Duke and a fabulous bounce back game after a tough loss. Certainly the best November win in a long time even though the game itself was a war against the refs by both teams!
-
A win is a win… Frank is once again the man… and although I say this every year… sad face… why for the love of all that is holy is our late game offense 4 guys standing around waiting for Mason to make a play… I fail to understand this. There is no explanation. Why do we run offense the other 36 minutes of the game if that’s the best option? Now, ya may argue that it worked… tonight… Frank hit the shot. Won the game for us. But I disagree to a point. I believe if we run good offense the last 4 minutes instead of the everyone stand and watch Frank game. It isnt close enough to require a last second heroic from Mason to win the game.
-
Rock Chalk. Gritty down to the wire and thank God for Frank Mason. I can’t wait to listen to Coach K show on Sirius Thursday as I believe he will give us the credit we are due for fighting back in the second half with great D and being in the position to win it. Vick had a couple of great drives to the hoop and Bragg may be getting his role worked out in his own head. You gotta know everyone was beyond exhausted after that game and tired of hotels. Bet they can’t wait to get back home.
Did Larry Brown and Sasha Kaun bring the mojo we needed? Thought our fans showed up big time.
Got my tickets today for the UT game here on 2/25!!!
Night all.
-
@HawkChamp Agreed that Udoka will take over. Our rebounding problem went away with him in the game. Big AND quick.
@cragarhawk With our atrocious 3 point shooting, eventually teams might come off of Vick, for example, to triple team Frank. Might be possible with a quick team. In any case, I wonder what the strategy is there, if there is one. Could it be a strategy to do this at the end of the game? You do see a lot of this kind of thing in the NBA.
@Jayrawks1 Well, aren’t they 2/3 OAD’s, not just MCD’s? And they’re like all bigs.
-
No way UK is #1. None of these other teams have played anyone. The only teams that have played anyone is KU, Dook, and IU.
By default the stupid coaches and press will give UK the #1 spot, for now. It won’t be long and they will lose too.
Dook overrated. Good but overrated and it’s actually way too early for any team right now.
Oregon, UNC, Nova, and Virginia…really? This is too ridiculous right now. We all know KU doesn’t need the #1 spot either, but I’m always amazed at how the “experts” can rank teams.
Right now, based on the early season…
IU
KU
Dook
UK…I’m so sick of UK padding their W column with cake walk teams.
Nova
UNC
Oregon
It will likely be…
UK
Nova
Oregon
IU
KU
Dook
Rankings this early are kinda silly really.
-
@truehawk93 So why worry about them?
