College Bball Thread

I think we'll keep it closer than most think. We have a coach who actually knows how to...coach. Makes a big difference. We'll certainly keep it closer than UK. Our D is MUCH better than Kentucky's defense....if you can call it that.

I hope you’re right. I just don’t see us keeping it within 20 on the road against this team. I realize it’s only one game and I’m a natural pessimist with the IU b-ball I’ve seen, so just my humble opinion

The keys to beating this Duke team start with solid, active team defense. Moving the ball and making them work hard on theier end and getting their guys in foul trouble. It’s going to take the best game we can muster, especially on the road.

So apparently college basketball rules on number of steps doesn't apply to Duke?  Have seen 3-4 travels that haven't been called in the 5 minutes I've watched.

UK is getting clowned. This would be a lot funnier if we didn't have to go to Duke in a few weeks.

This isn't a college game. Half the players on this court won't attend a class after Christmas.

 

I have never seen UK get humiliated like this.

UK vs Duke is like watching Operation Barbarossa.  

Duke has 91 with 11 1/2 min left. Watching Calipari with his cry face on all game has been enjoyable, though.

Kentucky/Duke game getting moved to the small Tv. Didn’t see that happening tonight. Lol.

UK on a 16-6 run...to cut the lead to 27.

Looks like Duke can name their margin. This is going to damage the Calipari mystic.

Said it back in March, I'll say it again: the Calipari/UK popularity peaked in 2015. The Wisconsin loss was the beginning of the end.

I agree. Cal seems to have become too fat and happy. With the combination of a national title,  being at a prime coaching position (where you are no longer striving to climb the ladder), and, until recently,  sustained success, it seems he is either lazy or finally being exploited as a coach.

Life is good.

After watching Duke dismantle Kentucky last night, I am not looking forward to our game at Duke.

This posted on Rumps Rafters 9:57 last evening. These guys are killing me.

 

Lets run these pompous ***** into the ground. PJ dunking on Zion mean mugging, Herro splashing 3's, KJ locking down RJ, Travis doing what he does double double and Ashton giving their point guard all he wants. Win the rebound battle, the 3pt battle, FT battle and win the war! Lets go, lets do this! No mercy!

I am very much looking forward to it. We're expected to lose and we're playing AT Duke so there's nothing to lose and everything to gain. We'll keep this game much closer than Kentucky believe that. Archie will have a game plan ready and keep it respectable and if anything getting to play against a team like them will only help this team get better.

If we beat Duke we could be #1, as long as we are undefeated going in. Probably not realistic but...
