Looking forward to this IU/Duke game

[kyboy1998]

Indiana is one of my favorite teams to watch. They play fast, reckless and overall stupid.

Tom has somehow turned a blue blood into a scrappy mid major jacking up shots. They could win tonight or get curb stomped and neither would surprise me.

Even if they won it wouldn't have any positive effect moving forward and they could drop the next to anyone. Should be fun.

To mean it's a win win. Despise both. Despise IU more but still a win win.

 

[DodgerDukie1985]

I think it'll be a fun (meaning high scoring) game. I don't fully trust Duke's defense yet, especially against a team like Indiana that has so many guys who can put the ball in the basket. Good news for them is Indiana also doesn't play much defense and doesn't do a good job taking care of the ball. I think Duke wins 88-80 at home.

Hoping like hell the Dukies curb stomp IU. Can't stand Duke, but I HATE, I mean HATE IU.

At least I can respect Duke, but IU is the trash of the world.

 

[GOING FOR #9]

Right now clappy is going over the game plan he learned from listening to college game night

 

[CatInNC]

I'll be pulling for IU. Would love to see Duke's non-conference home win streak end.

Just swallowed a little throw-up

 

[kyboy1998]

I wonder what the over under for Robert Montgomery Knight references will be set at?

 

[Cat Ballou]

Ugh - don't know if I can stand to listening to Vitale call this game. Just had to mute it.

 

[ManitouDan]

Someone should do a vine of the horrible FLOP that Ingram just did on a made jumper , he collapsed like a wet paper towel without being touched . Flopping MF'ers !!!!!! I despise them , they have to teach that crap .

 

[JasonS.]

Hurryin Hoosiers came to play.

 

[cantstandthecards]

Plumlee really sucks! Played good against UK looks terrible this game

 

[JFCats22]

IU putting it to Duke so far.

Up 6

 

[kyboy1998]

Hurryin Hoosiers came to play.

The beauty is they could blow a 20 point lead or come back from one.

Tom had built an entertaining train wreck. The 2012 tournament win against them was one of my favorite games in recent memory.

 

[cantstandthecards]

Dick Vitale is awful

 

[Tom Sellecks Mustache]

On ESPNs homepage they're promoting it to "watch as Indiana tries to end Duke's nonconference win streak." ?? It can't be more than five can it? Typical ESPN

If Dick Vitale is calling the game, that is enough to make me not even want to watch the game. Thanks a lot, Dicky! You ruined another game for me! With this matchup, i have to go with Duke. I can never go with a Crean coached team over a coach like K. Crean is a joke and knows nothing about coaching basketball. This is a game IU needs to win if they have any interest in making the tourney. I know it's still early and it's not a deal breaker, but anytime you can get a W against a team like Duke, you have to take it. Blackmon Jr and Yogi as a backcourt vs Allen and Thorton. I think at the start of last year, most would have went with Blackmon and Yogi in this matchup. Now after watching these guys for a full year, i think it swings Duke's way in this matchup. Allen is the type of guard that is easily shutdown, but to do that, it would require defense and i don't think Crean even teaches defense at IU. Yogi is actually allergic to defense. Blackmon jr is not the shooter everyone thought he would be coming into college basketball. Thorton is a kid that is going to get better as the year goes on and is looking more comfortable after every game Duke plays. I'll take Duke by 9 points and be happy.

Home court streak

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

I don't know how any UK fan could enjoy watching IU, but okay whatever floats your boat.

 

[ManitouDan]

Whistle Bandits coming into play . Iu getting a bad deal.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Kennard not being the shooter he was made out to be.

It's up over 100 games now, I'm pretty sure. Clinton was president last time they lost a noncon game at Cameron..

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Jefferson fouls about 3 or 4 timer on that play and none were called.

 

[JasonS.]

Ingram has remembered he's good.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

IU can't guard Ingram. He's gonna go for 30+ tonight.

 

[jrm693]

I agree on Kennard, when he committed to Duke I hated we lost out on him and figured he was another JJ Reddick but what he has shown so far is that he's a four year player and not that good believe he would have trouble getting minutes at UK. Ingram sure don't look like he did in Chicago.

 

[Nubb16]

I hope Duke pulls away big soon so I can stop watching those morons jump up and down and go to bed

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Op please change to game thread. God I hate duke. I hate indiana as well. Since being at indiana Crean has gotten one great player and that was a fluke in oladepo(sp?dont care). Duke can't do no wrong this game. Ingram and Benedict hitting 3s Grayson is probably crying to k about not touching the ball every possession. I'm sure dukie v has had to change his pants 3 times now

 

[Nubb16]

Ingram has remembered he's good.

Or he's realizing Indiana is very bad

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Kennard ain't playing some 'necks from armpit eastern Ohio either

 

[Bluest Member]

Well,it's a better game than MSU vs Little Brothel,Indiana looks better than either of those teams as well
Clappy must have tucked them in special last night

 

[Bluest Member]

It's up over 100 games now, I'm pretty sure. Clinton was president last time they lost a noncon game at Cameron..

Pretty hard to lose with the whistle they get there

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Already beat duke so don't mind if they win. Love to laugh at the misery of IU, but I want them to keep Crean forever.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

God I hate dukie v court the pitiful fans need to be moved back 20 feet. It's not fair for them to be screaming in the opponents ear.

 

[Nubb16]

It sucks the benches are on the side closest to the camera view. I can't watch clappy work the sideline.

 

[JasonS.]

Crean makes what, like $5 million per? Buy a tie, dude.

Spending all that money on his hair, I guess.

 

[Bkocats]

someone keep me updated? Hubby and I are watching something else

 

[Nubb16]

39-33 Duke 3:30 first half

 

[Bluest Member]

someone keep me updated? Hubby and I are watching something else

41- 33 Duke up

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

It's 33-41 BKO.

 

[kyfan606]

As much as I don't like Duke I hope they absolutely beat the crap out of Clappy.
