Grayson Looks great against everyone BUT......
- Thread starter KingCal9
- Start date
There won't be anyone of merit on that side of the bracket, so naturally, they'll make it far enough.

Cal said no spot up shots for Grayson. He said if he could get it off the dribble then he could have it but he wasn't going to be spotting up on us.
You did hear correctly. Even I had to both laugh and shake my head when he said that. Time for Mr. Vitale to retire
For average college basketball players, yeah, he is.
Well to be fair, John Havlicek is 75 years old now so Allen might be able to take him. Might.
Just imagine if he hadn't gone up against our fast/athletic guards and inside height . The media will still promote Allen to no end but there will always be a counterpoint now , that he won't play anybody else like UK and if he is considered the best then what does that make Ulis ?
This is what I was going to say. It's a credit to our team that we were able to shut him down. Kid is a baller, and has a beautiful outside shot. He's going to score a *lot* of points this year.
What is lost is not so much that Kentucky put a great athlete on Grayson, it was that we had other great athletes guarding all their other players, too. So Cal made Grayson prove he could put it on the floor and beat our guards and he couldn't do it. Funneled him into the middle all night. GREAT job by Cal.
Cal game planned with him in mind and did a damn good job. That and Duke's point guard still not yet really being ready to take the job made that a hard game for Duke. Cal is a very good coach and an even better recruiter. I give Cal credit for that victory.
They will still end up in a much better bracket than us no matter how the rest of the season plays out , given that it's meaningless come March seeding .
He is a nice player but Vitale made it impossible to listen to and Grayson himself celebrating after each shot made me want to throw up. Many others Vitale would have commented about this...he will have that grad assistant job soon. 
They were making a case for him as NPOY before the UK game.
That's how incredible this is. But there is no Duke bias. Oh no, no no...
This guy clears out with his left arm E-V-E-R-Y time he drives. Somebody is going to send a message to him at some point in the season if the refs don't call it.
Lol Georgetown is garbage. They aren't as bad as Siena and Bryant, but they are far off from Kentucky.
Duke's competition has been, like usual, very weak.

Hes scored 30 and 32 since our game. All it tells me is hes playing against inferior competition and as a whole UK is better then Duke. Ulis is to quick for Allen, Briscoe is to strong for Allen and Murray is to athletic for Allen. If we play them in March with Skal coming into his own, Poy fully trusting his Knee, Willis not playing scared, Lee getting better as the season goes I think we win again.
Someone with good humor and Photoshop skills needs to run with this... I mean, Duke Blue DEVILS, The Omen, looks identical Grayson Allen, Goes to a prepster school, is a sniveling little pissant..
FWIW, Allen already has 40 FTA, which I believe is a top20 spot in the nation, and that includes his no-show pants-shitting at Kentucky. He's essentially getting 10 free-throws a game. Lmfao. Didn't know he was on James Harden's level.
Why that's such a laugher is this: He played garbage minutes last year, on a fairly thin Duke lineup. He wasn't good enough to get in the game until foul trouble against Wisconsin. Yet, essentially being a freshman, he's now skilled enough to draw 10 FTA's a game? I don't think so. He'd be getting 5-6 on any other team, if that.

OMG, Grayson Allen IS Damien!!!

I wouldn't worry.. Last year, If the NCAA didn't want Duke to face us until the latest possible round .. They certainly won't this year. Grayson is still having nightmares about us. We will destroy them in March.
Duke will be on the opposite side of the bracket.. You can book that now.

On Grayson Allen's big weekend comeback after the Kentucky debacle and helping his NBA looks. Story from MSG: https://www.sny.tv/college-recruiting/news/duke-allen-top-georgetown-at-garden/157920928?tcid=tw_article_157920928…
He's this year's ugly Duke slurp icon. The disaster against UK will never be mentioned on espn.
Allen has been great so far with the exception of one game. And with every monster game he has it just makes Briscoe look that much better so I'm not gonna hate on the kid.
Allen is a world class flopper....he literally falls down onto the court more than any other player in the country. Even in our game he fell down after every drive but didn't really get the call until Skal's bogus 5th foul call....but against most team's he falls down and gets the call. He learned it from Tyus Jones last year who also was a criminal fall down after every drive to the basket and they will call something guy. He is a baller for sure but falling down 7 times a game with no contact diminishes his overall ability.
As Thornton progresses and Allen moves off the ball, those numbers will drop but his overall effectiveness will go up.
