-
Didn’t look like many at the nova game
-
There’s $100k man
-
FSU taking it to UF…

Wow. Imagine how shit Missouri would be if they didn’t get Mark Smith immediately eligible?
-
Can they both lose?
-
Hard to root for Duke, but would love to see us gain 1 on UK

After interacting with fans of both, I’m cheering my ass off for UK.
-
Holy crap.
Would’ve been a hell of a deal. Can you imagine what Williamson would have done if we had tried to give him a Ferrari? He may have had 40 or 50 points… Lol
-
Called the starters.
-
Texas is shit. Baylor is SUPER shit.
-
Duke finally went a minute of play without a 3 pointer
-
They are gonna be a problem
-
Yeah, Duke is insane.
-
I’m not sure they are gonna lose…
A game…
At all

Ehhhhh
-
ACC play is a meat grinder, they will pick up some Ls there. Maybe only 2-3 but still. UNC, Virginia etc…
-
They are better than the UK team that nearly went undefeated I think. But you’re right. Tougher league to play in. They may see some challenges

Too early to tell. They look really good but just one game, and 5-7 from three right now.
-
Cal in the ear of the ref… “Wtf man, I’m supposed to get the stack of the top 3 guys and another in the top 20”…
-
LOL yep. Cal isn’t used to being out athleted. If Cal can figure some things out, and get Duke into more of a half court game, this game might get interesting.
-
He’s the Magician. He should be okay.
-
Wichita State got smoked at home by Louisiana Tech. Duke may have the most athletic team I’ve ever seen play at this level.
-
Gonzaga just hit 100 with about 8:00 to go. Hashimura having his way inside tonight.
-
@cragarhawk No, it was the rocket powered skate board!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Cal should talk to Bill at halftime and get some tips/pointers.
-
Well he sure needs to do something.

Pictured below, Cal’s playbook
-
@Kcmatt7 UCLA going to win by 25+, did you get that bet in?
Florida State DUMPSTERING Florida.
-
Both Duke and UK have crazy talent but Duke’s is a lot farther along. UK is not a good shooting team, Duke is but it’s short bench is probably its Achilles heel; however, with Duke owning the refs the net negative effect is considerbly less.
-
Zion and RJ look like the real deal. Duke looks very good.
-
Duke looks scary. Their weakness is definitely their depth. Zion staying out of foul trouble and surviving the season at his size are his challenges.
-
@BShark 3 point shooting is quite a strength for the Squid, isn’t it?
-

Kentucky running plays in the same way KU was running plays in the exhibition. LOL.
-
@BShark LOL. They’re saving their playbook because they know they have to play us later in the season…ha!
-
-
Duke appears to have as high a ceiling as we do. Going to enjoy ripping their hearts out wherever we meet them in the tournament.
-
Okay, based on an admittedly small sample size of 20 minutes, who has the bigger upside this season, Duke or UK?
Duke obviously has the raw talent, but Kentucky strikes me as more mature.
-
@nwhawkfan it definitely seems to me to be Duke.
-
uk sucks
-
@Kcmatt7 Ya you were right. I think it may be more that Duke is really good though.
-
I’ve got a lot of respect for Prohm as a person. As a coach remains to be seen but he does the right things.
-
I’m not listening to the game. Has Dick Vitale’s head exploded from excitement?

In games like this, depth is overrated. UK is less talented 1-6. Thats what matters.
But also, PJ sucks, NR sucks, and Green sucks. That’s why they are all sophomores at UK. Add in that Quickley sucks and Hagans sucks and you have a double digit loss team. Reid is their best player and he played on a bad team last season. UK can either suck at D or they can suck at O depending on the lineup. But they don’t have a group of 5 that can play on both ends.
-
I guess I didn’t expect them all to suck lol.

Luckily I’m here for you lol
-
I nailed the starting lineup though. Small victories.
-
I would bet that the analysts switch their UK NC opinion to Duke starting tomorrow. Only took an hour lol
-
ESPN has already been annoying with the Duke/ACC hype. They are going to be unbearable now.

Sucks by UK standards. I’d bet PJ and Nick would develop well at KU. PJ is decent, but he’s a 6’7’’ center, so that will hurt you in some games for sure.
I’m not big on Green or Quickley, but I thought Hagans might be a dude. Herro is um…he is completely outmatched in this game. Barrett sees a target cursor on Herro every time he has the ball. Herro won’t be overmatched like this every game I don’t think anyway. He’s not great overall though.

KU win buried on the back page.
