Did Uncle Fester and Bilas pick Kentucky to win this game too?

Imagine being a Kentucky fan right now. Alcohol will be consumed in Lexington tonight.

ESPN has already been annoying with the Duke/ACC hype. They are going to be unbearable now.

I nailed the starting lineup though. Small victories.

I guess I didn't expect them all to suck lol.

Honestly don't think KJ was that bad. He did air-ball a free throw though lol.

And honestly, it's hard to argue with that.

If this margin holds Duke will be #1.

I'm not listening to the game. Has Dick Vitale's head exploded from excitement?

@Kcmatt7 Ya you were right. I think it may be more that Duke is really good though.

I'd probably call him a dirty rotten bastard, but I know him pretty well so it would be okay.

Duke looks scary. Their weakness is definitely their depth. Zion staying out of foul trouble and surviving the season at his size are his challenges.

The thing that's been said about Q that's been true so far is that he plays up to or down to the level of competition.

Well he sure needs to do something.

He's being out-athleted.

The thing I'll say for Cal is that he doesn't teach flopping/charge-taking. He just lets his athletes run and play, and if they win it's based on athleticism/skill. Can't say the same thing for Consonants.

He's the Magician. He should be okay.

I'm not going to overreact because he hit six 3's tonight and he's not going to do that every game (or maybe even ever again at Kansas) but he did look good tonight.

I loved everything about Dotson tonight too other than the 3 or 4 times that he got too sped up in transition.

I didn't think KJ was that bad tonight. 4 points (1-1), 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 turnovers in 10 minutes.

No defense may be an understatement. Duke is on a 140-point pace right now.

@KUSTEVE It's usually the one thing that they do.

Ya, go ahead and give me the L.

So I think I was wrong about Duke and Kentucky. I will fully own up to the L if the game keeps going this way.

2 points (1-7), didn't get to the line, 3 boards, 3 dimes, 3 thefts, 2 turnovers. He needs to do better than that. I thought he took some shots that were out of rhythm.

Vick was probably the most disappointing player for KU. He needs to play better. Grimes looked like the senior and Vick the freshman tonight.

Dedric had a "bad game" with 20 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Can't wait until he starts playing well lol

Called the starters.

@BShark Yo I'm not calling you out but you said we'd lose 75-60 Mr. Optimist.

Okay Izzo.

Good game.

Between the pre-game smearing, Bias and Uncle Fester picking Michigan St, and the in-game commentary I'm about done with ESPN.

Take Doke out and guard the 3-point line.

Winston carries the ball just about every time he drives.

Wow.

I really don't like Michigan St much. Flopping, players whining about calls, coach whining about calls, intentional fouling.

Boy the rims are really unkind to Dedric tonight.

Yikes.

MSU is 11-20 from 3. So that's helping them stay in.

3rd flop of the game by State.

So many transition opportunities wasted. ugh.

Michigan St. is getting really lucky that Dedric is missing tonight.

22-11 fouls.

AND 1! Come the hell on!

"There was contact!"

Guy gets paid to call games. Wow.

What a joke.

Flop.

GRIMES IS FILTHY!

Michigan St. players complaining about fouls is pretty ridiculous.

How many stupid transition plays for Kansas have resulted in wide-open shots for MSU at the other end. Way too many.
