HIDE YO KIDZ! KU DUKE LIVE CHAT
-
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

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?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 and they were missing 2 or 3 of the best players in the country
-
@nuleafjhawk 3, can only play 5 anyway, just the way it works out. We beat Duke!!
-
@RockChalkinTexas Because UK will take the #1 spot by default…I can’t stand it.
But all that aside, KU played fairly well and beat a good team tonight. I was gasping at 75 all. But then Mason hit that silky jumper. He’s a special player.
-
That eight minute period in the second half was special. Josh playing angry is something to watch. Still wish we would put Carlton in more pick and pops. Did one in the first half and he scored.
-
@HawkChamp JJ is going to be a beast. His confidence is rising each game.
Love his attitude and he’s letting the game come to him. He’s not overplaying at all.
-
The way KU came out in the second half is how they need to play the whole game - intensity wise.
-
@BShark Sooo…you think next game you are going to predict we’ll win???
-
@Crimsonorblue22 She shoots…she scores!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I am in NO way watering down our victory. My original statement just said that if we don’t start hitting 3’s and ft’s - gonna be a long season.
-
@truehawk93**** “Super proud of him,” junior Devonte’ Graham said of Jackson. “He was frustrated all night with fouls that were called on him, but he came in and sparked us with I don’t know how many points in a row. He did a great job tonight.”
Added KU coach Bill Self: “I thought Josh was great. He was by far the best player in the game there to start the second half.”****

Honestly all the games leading up to the start of conference play should be Ws, but there will probably be a bad loss that shouldn’t have been in there.
-
@BShark Like maybe to Stanford? wink
Im kidding. I dont think Stanford will beat KU this season. I like Jerod Haase and all, Jayhawk for life, but its not happening.
-
Duke fans are mostly terrible. After many pleasant encounters online before and after the game with Indiana fans I must say it’s been the complete opposite with Duke fans. They are such pompous windbags. Befitting of their coach I suppose. Mini-rant over.
-
@BShark Most Duke fans never went to Duke and are TShirt fans. TShirt fans of any school are usually the worst fans because they have no real connection to the school.
I have encountered people who are actual Duke alums and the interactions I’ve had with them have been nothing but pleasant. The only 3 fanbases I’ve dealt with that involve tte alums also being delusional jackasses are Missouri, KState, and Kentucky fans.
Beyond those 3 groups, TShirt fans tend to be the cast majority of jackass fans out there, including KU’s fans.
-
Fair observation. I have no idea how many of them were actual Duke grads and I wasn’t going to ask. You are right though, any big time program is going to have lots of tshirt fans. Most Kentucky basketball fans are also Bama football fans after all.
KSU’s fanbase is mostly terrible, Missouri’s is all terrible imo.
-
@BShark Question:
Is a Missouri T-Shirt fan an oxymoron? Or just a moron?
-
Both…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I like the T-shirt fan explanation for the millions of (insufferable) Notre Dame fans inflicted on us nationally every year, enabled by NBC (becoming NDC during football season).

I’m really enjoying ND’s current football season.

@BShark Didn’t realize! I try to avoid all knowledge except to hope they beat Duke in bb…
