Other Games Tonight
-
DUKE VS. TECH…GO RAIDERS!!!
-
@KUSTEVE Excited to watch this game. Really want to see what Tech has. Their best win is Nebraska so they really haven’t played anyone.
Vegas opened the line at Duke -8 and it is now at 10.5.
-
@Woodrow I think Tech wins a close one. Or…I should say…I HOPE they win.
-
Tech has a good defense. Duke has a very good defense too. It’s important for Tech to execute on offense and not turn the ball over. That way they keep Duke out of transition and make them score against their half-court defense.
I think Duke will win by 10. Hope I’m wrong. Do everyone in college basketball a favor, tortilla bois.
-
Should be a good test for both teams. Other than the pasting of UK in the first game of the season, the two other games Duke played agains ranked team were a 6 point win over Auburn and a loss to Gonzaga. It will be Tech. #1 ranked defense against Duke #2 ranked offense.
-
@JayHawkFanToo This could be HUGE for the conference if Tech can pull it off. I can’t wait to watch it…
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich i think Dook will be freaked out by the Tech defense, a little like we were the first time we played them last year. I’m going to call for an upset, as I have the Red Raiders winning by 2.

I just think in the end run it all comes down to Duke having more Athletes - -it’s just hard to go against Williamson & Barrett the other one that can just drain those three’s -think it’s just going to be to much. - -Now yes it’s on a neutral floor that will help some - -even Duke’s students on Christmas break so might not be to bad -yet I still could see this as up to a 15 point defeat. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Absolutely. It will tells us how much of an obstacle Tech will be in the Big 12 and also tell us if Duke will run over its ACC opponents or if teams like UNC and Virginia will also contend.
-
That’s the 4th offensive charge called on Duke. Duke is getting Duked by Tech and I love it.
Also, Coach K shouldn’t be allowed to complain about charge calls.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Tech looks REALLY good so far.
-
and then they cough it up twice…lol. hope i didn’t jinx them…
-
Tech turnovers really keeping Duke in the game.
-
15 turnovers for Texas Tech but held Duke to only 28 points at halftime. So weird.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Tech is just bottling them up defensively. They are supreme against 3 point shooting.
-
Might have to rewatch the phantom travel again to see if it really was a travel. #dukewhistle
-
Plus the Tre Jones poke in the eye. Have to make it interesting for the viewing audience. Otherwise may need to talk more about Zion’s name or how he likes anime.
-
Go Tech! When do the refs really start to help dukie
-
Hate ESPN announcers. STFU dukie v and partner
-
Dick crying now that Zion is out with 4 fouls
-
Dukie V wants 6 fouls because his heroes can’t not foul.
-
Travel. But for the ESPN folks it’s now a euro-step when Dukie does it.
-
close this game out, tech…let’s see some dookie and espn xmas tears…

Zion: picks up 4th foul
Dick Vitale: “I think the NCAA should go to 6 fouls. People came to watch Zion play.”
Me: mute

Amen, and Amen.
-
No foul.
-
When Tech had an 8 point lead and then turned it into a 5 point lead, the foul count in that sequence was 6-2 in you know who’s favor.
-
Charge
-
Retire Dukie V
-
Zion might still be in the game if they had called a foul on the previous Tech possession when they shot in the lane.
-
@wissox nice observation
-
both of the announcers screamed …YES …when reddish made that 3. freaking homers…
-
Dukie V: “wow” <dejectedly> when they call a foul on Dukie for the charge. “That’s a big plus for your defense”. Duh…it’s the rules or do they not apply to your dream team?
-
Tech gave them a good run, but they just don’t have enough offensive options to challenge a good team. Their ball handling was terrible.
-
Tech is going to give KU a lot of trouble this year. They are one of the best defensive teams I’ve see all season.
-
No foul there reaching across the body. Damn.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Speaking of trouble…
-
KU Women win Again last game before Christmas break - -win both games in Vegas - - wing 66-57 0ver Northwestern tonight - -now 9-1 on the year. - -way to go ladies. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Down the stretch Tech couldnt come close to finding a basket. That was unfortunate. I thought they had Duke on the ropes when they broke it open start of second half. Zion Williamson reminds me of a cross between Wiggins and Doke. He has Wiggins’ completely useless whirling dirvish spin move with Doke’s body.
-
@jayballer73 This is a good group of players. This a deep team with lots of seniors. Constant substitution keeps them fresh, out of foul trouble with zero sign of less focus or design. Great job by Coach Schneider.
-
Tech could be our biggest competition in the B12 again this season. They guard as well as anyone in the country but they will struggle to score at times as they did down the stretch last night vs Dook.
-
@kjayhawks yep. I only started watching at the last six minutes, but Tech couldn’t do anything when Duke started actually playing defense. That and when they hit a few threes. You could just tell the game was over.
-
It now appears that Tech will be our biggest threat…especially with Wade out for awhile. Beard has done a heck of a job down there.
-
Oklahoma playing at Northwestern. I’d be there but I couldn’t find anyone to go there with me. Been watching Marquette/Buffalo. Buffalo is looking really good.
-
Two more unbeatens go down tonight.
-
The Marquette win continues to look good.
-
Markus Howard scored 40 points in the 2nd half. Mercy

Doing really well - - now we have just got to transition through to Big 12 play- - have a chance to have a solid season this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Markus Howard can win POY with games like that. 24 straight points at one point. Unconscious last night. Oh wait Zion can dunk, sorry Markus try again next yr
