GYERO ARCHIVE

[Irish Beck]

Tre got this team off the ground while guys were figuring things out. I respect and appreciate that.

If he isn't hurt, he's in the worst slump we've seen from him. I love the guy, but he needs a short leash given the next two (or one) loss(es) end our season.

 

[cawoodsct]

Fans throwing stuff at UNC players and a weirdo coach apologizing.

 

[thabigbluenation]

Duke is just so weird. Always had a weird secret society corny vibe.

The 90s slang would say Duke is gay.

 

[Kooky Kats]

If a team throws a zone at us, Tre is instrumental at knocking down elbow shots and passing back out. He shouldn’t lurk around 25’ try to bomb 3s coming out of the gate… he’s lost his feel and ability to cover.

He looks content to be a cheerleader RN. Fine. Put JE at 4 and let’s roll.

 

[WayneDougan]

Pelphrey and Feldhaus think this is lousy late game defense.

 

[roguemocha]

That’s incredible. How do you say just let them shoot a game winner even? Much less, not foul? Wow.

Even if that’s the exact player you want to take the shot you don’t just give it completely open.

They just f'ing stood there.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Yikes, Arizona.

 

[krazykats]

With that loss Arizona is out for a 1 seed making the four 2’s most likely Arizona, Iowa State, UNC and Marquette.

Only thing stopping that is a Creighton run possibly.

I think we’ll get the 3 seed with Creighton, Duke and Kansas with Illinois possibly bumping Kansas.

That said, they push us to Arizona or UNC right? Seems they would want that ratings spike if they can get it.

I hope Clay Travis put his head in an oven after yesterday’s events.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Luka with his 6 straight 30pt 3/2 last night. Unreal

So does Zona losing mean UT still gets the other 1 seed?

F Duke. Bunch of gafs.

7pm tip Friday 🔥

 

[Hank Camacho]

How about Justin Edwards playing (and earning) the second most minutes last night? Anyone else got a 6'8 lefty potential lottery pick finding his stride right when tourney play begins?

* To repeat --> Tennessee is legit. After UConn and Houston, I'll take them over anyone not located in Lexington. Maybe those mouth-breathers can finally make the Final Four.

* Food City Center? WTF?

* At 2:50 of this clip is PRIME Jeff Goodman bashing.

 

[DoubleSecretProbation]

I’m fairly certain that is the game he is talking about.

Aha! Derp. Yeah, read that wrong.

My bad!

 

[ThroughBlue]

i hope Tennessee loses their next two games. Maybe those mouth breathers will continue to never make a final four for eternity.

Karter Knox looks like more of a dawg than his older brother. It could be the light skin vs dark skin. I worry about his shooting. 6’5 SF without much of a shot isn’t what we need imo

Can we talk about that goal tend? I mean what the hell was that?

 

[krazykats]

It was a make up for not getting Reeves out of bounds call.

 

[VernHatton52]

That's all well and good but the last foul on DJ was atrocious. Not one part of his body was touching Ziegler and they gave him an And1 at a crucial point in the game. An absolute egregious call!

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

It was a make up for not getting Reeves out of bounds call.

People keep saying this, but no one appeared to react to Reeves stepping on the baseline, not the fans, not Coach Barnes, not the Tennessee players, not the commentators. It was only coming back from a commercial break several minutes later that the commentary team showed the replay. So how did the refs know they missed that call in order to "award" a makeup call?

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

The replay also showed Reeves getting pushed all along the baseline before he stepped out. So Tennessee fans can kiss my ass.

 

[klambert6]

Get Grant Hill off my Ian Eagle/Raff telecasts.

That dope pleading for a foul on Reeves after he stripped Connect late was horrible. Then they show the replay that it was 100% clean.

 

[MattsCats]

Up there with one of the worst takes of all-time.

F*ck off Medcalf, christ

Man, what a win. Heading into the postseason. Just wow, final four here we come

Up there with one of the worst takes of all-time.

And on a night when Flopowski got busted for tripping . . .

Myron then got bombarded, ratioed, and basically admitted it was a bad take. No need to propagate it.

 

[roguemocha]

Well it was 100% Kentucky/Cal has a really good white guy basically.

My take wasn’t for all the world to see and know. Just me in my mind so that I can move on with the fact that despite a lopsided 1st half whistle, a solid effort from the crowd, and a heroic effort from Dalton Connect, we kicked their F’ing ass.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

So apparently the NET didn't move. Still 19 in spite of winning at #5.

I don't even know anymore. I'm sure they'll get a 5 seed for some unforeseen reason.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

It has to be due to the volume of Q3 and Q4 games we played and the one Q3 loss. Our best 5-6 wins stack up with anyone in the country.

Saw something the other day (can’t find it now) that estimated the uncw and lsu losses cost us about 10 spots in the NET.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

My bottom line was the refs all around sucked ass.

 

[WayneDougan]

Michael Bradley was the most Duke-like player we ever had. I could also argue Brandon Knight, but I like Knight too much to say that.

 

[Irish Beck]

Normally I'd say the LSU and UNCW losses (and 8 overall losses) do not entitle us to an opinion about our seeding but half the top 10 has 6+ losses and few of them boast the kind of resume we do.

I think our ceiling is a 3 because of those losses and don't really care where/who we are stacked up with. Give us UNC in the East for all I care, this team is the type of team you don't want to play in the tournament.

 

[sinker16]

Shep isn't a dirty flopping bitch so he's kinda the opposite of a Duke player

Herro

Earned not Given

 

[Irish Beck]

Tyler herro would be the blackest kid to play at Duke in the past 20 years.

Yall are confusing cheese dick with irrational swag. ENG is the right answer. Undeserved recognition because of wealth, doesn't understand what that means and is convinced he's an everyman. He'd also likely trip someone.

No offense, but this is the worst take since Davis = Henson. I hate defending Duke, but I don't recall them having a nepotism problem whereas 3 of our last 5 coaches have had their sons playing guard for us. And I also don't recall Duke kids getting shitty tattoos.

Herro also wasn't a Duke style player.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Kyle Wiltjer.

Don’t care where we’re seeded. I’m gonna bitch for an hour, regardless. Then I’m going to talk myself into our Cats winning the whole damn thing.

I guess what I’m saying is, line ‘em up. These fellas can beat anybody.

 

[WayneDougan]

Kyle Wiltjer.

Wiltjer was the most Wisconsin guy we’ve had.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Fair.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Herro

I don't like it but if Herro is essentially just competent ENG, then I guess I have to agree.

 

[UKRob 73]

Cameron Mills

 

[klambert6]

Love that the centers are more comfortable in their roles. Such a difference to what we have now vs. having to watch Z against USC.

For better or worse think that has to relegate Tre to almost a 7/8th man off the bench. Which is awesome once he gets his legs back (hopefully). Having Adou and Edwards start is seemingly becoming pivotal.

What a fun day. Enjoy!
