I don’t know where to find their free content. I was just curious what they said about the game and thoughts about Pope in general.
What are the Dukies saying?
- Thread starter bowfreak
- Start date
Probably moaning about the refs and shaking babies in protest.
Cramping, heard the entire Dukie nation had cramps.
They are blaming their bad shooting and saying they lost the game more than Kentucky won it
I went and looked at a couple of forums. Most of them are upset with Scheyer. Saying he was badly out coached
I just go to youtube and search for podcasts. Lots to choose from. They are salty. Still say UK sucks.

I know he’s our beloved former player/coach that we all just love, but **** Jay Bilas for saying nothing about the moving screen that gave Kentucky 3 points and took out Sion James. As blatant of a foul as it gets shown on multiple slow-mo replays, and Bilas says nothing. **** you, Jay
There was a guy after the game they showed with a disbelief look and shaking his head. His demoralized look felt so good to see.
Maybe they can all throw their protractors on the court at the next home game.
Bilas was scared that Amari would come for him next If he spoke out.
I saw many Duke fans enter the game cocky.
I saw many leave very quietly.

Honestly, several of their posts sounded exactly like ours the past few years with Cal.
Not sure if anyone will agree with me but I thought Scheyer made a mistake by not setting up Flagg at the end and preferring to let him create his own shot. Yeah, he is a great player but he is also only 17. That is a LOT of pressure.
There's all kinds of cramps, I'm just sayin'.
I mean, there could be lots of different kinds of soft tissue cramps..... that could've accounted for the Duke players issues.
I'm concerned for them.
All.
It was quite traumatic watching them become so horribly, visually, dispepsic.
Poor blue devils🤐🫤😕😥☹️😢😟😱🫣😤😢

I usually associate bad shooting with good defense. We played poor defense in the first half and good defense in the second half.
True but they did miss a LOT of open 3's. That may turn out to be their Achilles heel.
I thought the same. No planning, tired of losing games early on that matter, etc.
Two possessions in a row. Almost no passes. Anyone with half a brain cell knew the ball was going to Flagg. We collapsed on him as soon as he got it and he never looked to pass. I thought he managed the end of the game poorly.
The Cats taught them Dukies a lesson.
And knocked them down a peg or two!

From their free board. A lot of the comments sounded familiar
But it was actually good discussion and there are some complimentary comments about Coach Pope

🚨 Official Gameday Thread- Duke vs Kentucky- champions classic 🚨
⏰ 9:00 📺 espn 📍 ATL Big boy game number 1 as our number 6 blue devils take on the number 19 wildcats in this matchup of Goliaths. I’m always extra excited for a Kentucky matchup as my maternal side of my family are all Kentucky fans. Kentucky is coached by Mark Pope, a 1996 national champion...

For the first time in my life, I went over to the Duke Rivals board. The thread reads almost exactly like what we've said in the past few years here about a Cal team. You could have cut and paste it to this board when Cal was here and it wouldn't look out of place. They basically are saying Scheyer can't coach and that relying on a bunch of freshman doesn't work very well.
My boss is a major Duke fan. He flew to their Countdown with the Crazies or whatever they call their MM season celebrating event. He goes to 2/3 games a year (his daughter is a flight attendant so he gets to fly all over) and he was shocked when I told him entering the season that I didn't care for their guards. Obviously Scheyer and Staff don't either because the only time they touched the ball in a tie game with 45 secs left was to inbound the ball. I understand having your best player decide your fate-but if you are asking him to freestyle 2x and don't even get a shot...maybe you give him some more games before asking for all that-still can get him ball to take shot-but why have him handle/go off the dribble? No ball movement. No flashing him to FT area-where he was killing-or block? Thank you Scheyer.
Yeah Scheyer is the second coming of Cal…better at recruiting than coaching.
Dook did just the opposite. They smothered the first half, but were absolutely gassed the second and could no longer go tip-to-tip. Scheyer tried to win it by halftime, whereas Pope was content to play 40 minutes. One would think if your team was suffering from craps in each of their games this season they would have spaced out the defensive pace a bit if rotations were going to be limited in the back court.
Really surprised Dook didn't blame the Spalding basketball (https://wildcatbluenation.com/mark-...y-helped-kentucky-take-down-duke-01jcky2e3tx6) for their poor perimeter shooting!
I think it's early to see what he is as a Coach but too often with Freshmen led team-the coaches defer to the talent and forget to coach. I mean Scheyer's had the entire Duke mafia working on his behalf, he's added this new and odd personality thing where he's now a tough guy or trying to sell that.
Duke has a machine behind them-Silver, Hill, CBB media and it's not a hard sell anyways with their tradition and environment. They are a Blueblood program. That being said with the advantages you have, Duke fans know recruiting is going to be easiest part--can he coach? I don't envy anyone replacing an all time legend, but to this point, he's not shown what the Duke slanted media obviously was told to push hard going into this year of his coaching. I mean Bilas was basically trying to help him out with the "why not put Kriisa in a ball screen" comment (he was 100% correct about that too). Bilas spent a lot of the broadcast hyping Scheyer and what he's done to this point but you could also tell how disappointed in the coaching decisions late he was in his voice and how he trailed off commenting much. Tie games with 45 seconds and only shot you got was a heave from just behind halfcourt after game was decided? That was Kentucky Basketball for the past 6 yrs prior to Pope.
It's safe to say both teams can and will get better. Sure, the cramps had something to do with it. But we lost our floor general for a lot of the closing moments too. Also, that wasn't even close to a moving screen worthy of a whistle. The critique of Scheyer is fair. Most of his game plan was good. But he was out coached at the end. And it was pretty clear. It wasn't just players making plays. Pope went small, and Scheyer didn't have an answer, other than letting a 17 year old try to save him.
