Kansas vs Duke

Oh boy, the political thread loonies made it to the basketball board.
They're just such a joy to be around.
C'mon, wingnuts. Go back to your echo chambers and let regular adults talk basketball.
Thanks.
I hope there's controversy for days.. I want to see one of these teams get hosed so badly, because both of them deserve to be on the other side of the whistle for once?
Whoever said that Kansas shoots well from the outside, I have yet to see them shoot that well in a big game. Duke will not shoot that poorly from 3 in the second half so Kansas has to step it up. This game is going as the Elite Eight history of Coach Self and Coach K has shown.
Just read where Allen talked about the long list of white guys at Duke who have been lightning rods. Yeah, well don't trip people or take cheap shots and you might not be one of them. Nah, he still would be. Such a dweeb.
I feel so dirty but I am actually cheering for Tge Jailhawks to win ! Then I hope Nova kills the bastards !!!
LOL, it's not like that is an opinion. There are actual stats you know. Duke isn't hitting either. Michigan went 14-24 in one game and 4-22 the next. It's called variance.
1. With this year's Duke team that was horrible defensively...he plays zone but not just any old zone...it's basically a 3-2 zone that at times is a 4-1 zone. K unvall, Graderstands you can't allow teams to get solid open looks from 3pt line and is content to have his bigs right in front of rim and make Kansas attack to that spot and get them off 3pt line. How many coaches would adjust with this odd of a zone?
2. On offense...he's first priority is to look to post either of his bigs. High-low sets galore and guys like Trent, Duval, Grayson , etc.. get theirs after probing for their bigs first. And their guards are getting plenty of shots...but are disciplined to stick to gameplan.
And is other years that they have their traditional "stretch fours"...they are content to spread out the floor and pick/pop, pressure ball defensively, etc.. Hate him all you want...but he's elite at giving his team the best spot to win each year with different rosters.

I love that it said “or some other variation”. Basically saying ****ifweknow!
He’s probably the best ever. Like it or not. He adapts as necessary. I hate Duke and Ratface as well, but I’ll admit — he’s the best by a mile.
Look at Kansas' history of shooting in the Elite Eight. They generally don't fare well, for whatever reason. Anyone can shoot well against lesser competition or teams with which they are familiar. It is far more difficult to shoot well when it counts against unfamiliar opponents/defenses.

sorry but I refuse to slurp him.
track, the poster is just calling it like it is. Yes, he's one of the best coaches in the game today, and has been for several years. His record speaks for itself.
Do I like him, not necessarily, but I admire good coaching, regardless of who it is , or what team he's coaching, even though I despise DUKE. One of the things I judge whether a coach can truly coach, is the adjustments he makes at halftime.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Who’s better? It’s K and it’s now even close. Any UK, KU, even UNC fan will admit it.
I'm talking alltime. Present yes, past debatable. He is amazing at adapting with the times and reinventing himself.
Kansas is the better team. They've neutralized Bagley with a 4-guard lineup and Duke doesn't shoot well enough to make them pay. Now Kansas is getting hot from 3s and they'll win if they continue to.
I remember when CBS wrote an article that Kansas had zero chance to make the Final Four this year.
https://www.cbssports.com/college-b...proves-jayhawks-not-built-for-final-four-run/
"But Saturday was the final offering of evidence that proved to me that this team isn't built to make a Final Four run. Its season will end like 12 of the past 14 under Self -- with a clonk in the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight. Kansas fans are no doubt coming to grips with this, and that's probably a pinching sensation on the 10-year anniversary of Self's only national championship, which came in San Antonio. That's the site of this year's Final Four, too.
Kansas fans can only remember the Alamo, because there's little reason to believe they'll be going back."

Raise your hand if you think Wendell Carter will be back at Duke next year.![[thumb2]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/1684387.png "Thumbs Up 2 [thumb2]")
