KU/Duke

[B.B.H.]

Explain to me how Duke losing by 3 to the number 1 team makes our win against them " less impressive". Give me a break

Because it deprives them of a Quad 1 win and gives them a Quad 1 loss, resulting in a lowering of their NET, meaning our win against them is less valuable.

That’s how this kind of stuff works.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Probably not in the long run. But the media will bring that up. I guarantee it.

Both for the win lead and making our resume even better, needed Duke to win this.

Doesn’t make Cats look better if Duke wins with Dickinson out

Ssssshhhh. Dang you for using logic and facts.

Plus, we know the committee kisses KU ass.

The computer sees numbers not whether or not Dick Hunterson is in the lineup

I really don't see how Duke lost that game without Dickinson being in the game the last 10 minutes ....

They kept jacking up 3s
Their best move was that 2 man drive and they quit doing it
Sounds like another coach I know

 

[Bkocats]

Flagg is a really good freshman player and I would love to have landed him. But he is way over hyped.

Would he have been as hyped at UK???
Hmmmmm

 

[Fox2monk]

You do

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

That UConn team isn’t winning it this year

Mahaney has to get good for them to be serious and he looks completely out of his league right now.

 

[bbncal02]

Not possible. He's a Kansas fan. The only one that loves them are themselves.

Despite their two losses they are still 5th in kenpom. NET isn't out but that will be similar. Duke could lose 10 games and still be a top 10 NET team. So no, our win won't be any less valuable. Fuk Duke.

Sportscenter showed the highlights of the game last night just now. All 4 highlights excluding the Dickinson ejection were ALL Duke/Flagg, including KNipple's missed 3 lol. The ass kissing continues. Can you imagine if they had won? Holy crap this is getting ridiculous.

 

[Creed Bratton]

Pretty crazy that the preseason number 1, who is undefeated and at full strength(I think but haven’t followed them). Against a 1 loss team on as neutral as neutral court could be; is a comfortable and deserving underdog. Wild

You have apparently forgot that the one loss team has a 17 year old who is the greatest 17 year old to ever be 17 years old.

 

[JasonTAlexanderJR]

But KU is number 1 Duke has to be number 2 they barely lost!!

Kansas controlled most of the game. At one point they had a 13 pt lead. It was only close because Dickinson wasn’t in the game.

No one is saying it will completely tank our loss’s value. It just hurts it. Your argument is against a mythical point no one made. One thing I can definitely agree with is I’m not upset about it because I also can’t stand Puke. Watching Sheyer on the sidelines makes me want to hurl. Go Cats!

 

[Bogansback2Basil]

Wow

758 - 896. Now that's a real wow.

Joking.

So I’m curious where you pulled the number 19 from….why not 20? Why not 30?

Seems like a very random number to look up.

I suppose that's how things work if all you consider is the NCAA tournament. Fortunately some of us like to enjoy the season. For some us no numbers game will diminish our savoring a regular season win over a hated rival that has owned us in recent years..

Oh I’m not telling you who to cheer for. Cheer for whoever you want lol. I was just explaining how the metric worked to the person who said it didn’t matter. Screw Puke and KU

If they lose 10 games that would mean they drop a lot of games in ACC play and the ACC fkn stinks, they would not be top 10.

Duke and Carolina are probably both locked in to at least two seeds because the ACC is garbage.
