I was telling my family how much it drives me nuts when they kept missing them.

- Thread starter Farsight
- Start date
And missed 2/3 free throws.
I've seen people saying players suck among other things. We just need to cheer these guys on this year and watch them improve as the season goes on. This isn't a title contender and anyone that expected it to be after what the roster looked like at the start was delusional. They can be a good tournament team. Just sit back and enjoy the improvement as they learn to play together as the season goes on.
I’m out Cat fans, keep rooting us to victory. 4am seems to always arrive early. We will talk about the great comeback tomorrow morning. Go Cats!
No they don’t.
We just look mediocre because we are.
They should be winning this game by 20 honestly
I can’t wait to see what this team can turn into, I still think this is a good squad.
It's easy to play defense when your opponent doesn't move the ball well. Butler needs to remove his head from his ass and realize that he has to start the offense, not be it. Move the ball.
Pity those Duke bastards. I really do. We are going to cut out their guts and use them to grease the tracks of our tanks.
Pope will make the adjustments at the half gotta have some faith….
I'm not mad. Just a bit disappointed. The one thing I didn't want to happen was to get waxed.
I think we are seeing what time in a system really means. Both teams play alot alike. Duke has there system in place for 2y prior. This is UKs first.. Our guy are thinking instead of playing. If we could keep every player, and redid this game in a year, it would be a diffrent game. Almost what I expected... Just surprised at Robinson and Breas no show.
We need a big forward slasher line Flagg and Kneupple. They’re getting in the paint and to the rim at will.
Here’s the thing Duke has more talent but talent doesn’t win every game by itself , gotta make Duke uncomfortable somehow maybe we can maybe we can’t
Almonor needs minutes, I think.
Yeah we need to run our offense, way to much one on one swinging the ball and quick shots, get in the paint a little.
Weak sauce
Ya’ll have a good night.
I’m going to enjoy the rest of the game here in State Farm with my girls.
it’s just one game in year one. Don’t get too high and don’t get too low.

Exactly. It’s far too easy for some to point the finger at someone else. Getting torched because we can’t keep the ball out of the lane and our best players have pulled complete no shows.
I don’t think so. They look like the real deal. Pretty deep and talented.
Agree 100 percent. Theres no confidence on the defensive end. If they havnt played zone to this point , I don't think it's coming. Gonna have to rain the 3s
Sadly Brea isn’t doing much better. Neither guy looks capable of getting their own shots. What’s really cay is that I have no idea who we go to when we need buckets. Like if we’re in a close game late, I don’t think we have anyone who can just go get points.
They keep talking about our players haven’t played together. Neither has Duke’s. Heck they start mostly freshmen. Guess talent is better than experience.
We got these kids back. We will learn about our coach here in the second half. We played terrible, some to do to duke defense and some cause we rushed shots/missed.
If Duke plays D like this consistently they are the best team, especially after watching the current #1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks tonight.
They rose to this occasion. Not sure UK did. Robinson looks scared. Butler isn’t good enough. Garrison and Chandler aren’t ready. Brea can’t guard a lamp post. Williams is trying way too hard. Kriisa is gunning and not in the flow of the offense. 24-20 UK became a 10-pt Duke lead in a hurry.

Only guy that I've seen just kinda suck is Butler. But I'm not gonna harp on him for it. We just need to play like we have a damn brain. Every UK fan is sick and tired of seeing us play stupid. We've had too many games of that.
One constant in basketball, Jay Williams will always be a douche bag
4am is when the game ends where I am. Sure hope I can go back to sleep.
I gotta get up at 3am I just can’t go to bed yet…. If Cal was still coaching I wouldn’t have even started watching the game that was going to be my new pledge this year. Not anymore though I have new 45 year old life with Pope . 🤣
Well the problem is they are talented and playing smart . We need to find a way to get them out of their comfort zone
This game is over. Complete mismatch. If you can't play defense and get turnovers, this mickey mouse 3 ball operation won't work. You also have to be able to take it to the hole.
If Duke plays D like this all year, no one will stop them, and they will have a very real shot to go 40-0. And if they do, I may hang this sport up forever.
