No bill might be hurting us here coming out of half.

We need fun dick back.
Nice seal by Udeh there.
Can’t buy a bucket.
I know they’ve had the charges but how many free throws have they had.
Turns out it was k on zoom with the officials.
@wissox the stick counts as a jump ball.
@jayballer67 their length is bothering us. Lots of deflections. High hands on every shot even when they look pretty open.
@Crimsonorblue22 helping the helper already.
@Crimsonorblue22 maybe a bit right now. It’s just a matter of time before it all clicks for him and he will be a menace. If it happens this year our d could be just stupid good with him, Juan and Kevin.
Really hasn’t been a good game for Bobby.
Also, I keep seeing replays of that double block on twitter. Not only was it an amazing defensive player by both Harris and Udeh, they were inches away from getting an assist and a dunk on the other end. Udeh RUNS the floor.

I really don't like Duke so I hope we win
Not only do I not like Duke, I actually really like our team.
10 turnovers and laying bricks and still up on Duke. Self has to be loving this teams d.
@wissox said in Dook Game Thread:
7 blocked shots against really really really tall dook who has zero blocked shots against really really really short KU
This team guards. And I think we might be sneaky athletic.
Hope this wasn’t our good half.
First time we’ve seen gradubstruggle to hit shots. Still has like 6 or 7 points this half.
@BeddieKU23 not like we’d have made the free throws.

Are they gonna foul out on just offensive fouls?
Are we the new Duke?
The free throws. Good god.
Kj doing some nice things offensively this game.
Ugly for stretches will be the norm for this team.
Need Jalen.
Length is bothering our offense now.
Udeh with a nice block that won’t count.
Ok. Joe can handle roach too.
They don’t call that with k on the sideline.
May need to keep Harris in just for roach.
When this team is turned up on d they are really good. Scary that we are already saying that.
Dick!!!!
Everything coming in the flow of the game right now. Nothing forced.
If Kevin can keep his shot going…
Good d dick.
Shit I’m behind.

Harris not switching off roach. Like that adjustment to switching everything.
More of a game plan than an adjustment I guess.

@tundrahok think I saw that he stayed at a separate hotel.
Hawks by 11.
@nwhawkfan Not sure anyone will ever dominate the game the way he did.

Seems like we have enough flexible pieces to really weather some injuries here and there. Jalen and Grady are maybe the only two we really HAVE to have in my opinion just because no one else really offers the scoring/shooting punch they can. We are certainly better at full strength but not losing anyone to transfers and picking up some good recruits/transfers has us in a pretty decent spot depth wise.
Oops. I'd like to amend the above statement. I totally forgot we have Jank to come in and score the ball especially from three. Statistically our best player through two games so can't count him out. He's not injured, right?

@FarmerJayhawk Not sure how big of a concern they really are. Zach and MJ were definitely at or near the bottom of the early rotations.
What a tough break for MJ. Dude gets some time and scores it pretty well, then can't even make the trip to the biggest event of the early basketball season.
@FarmerJayhawk Lotta flu, covid, respiratory stuff going around with the cold weather.
@FarmerJayhawk So, so far MJ Rice has had a back injury and is now sick? Or are you saying it's "Sick" that he won't play?
@BeddieKU23 said in Way Too Early Line-up and Player Thoughts:
Clemence is day to day after taking a shot to the nose in the game Thursday
That shot was brutal. Are they not doing auto techs for elbows to the head anymore?
@drgnslayr Totally agree that this team is at its best when they SWARM! We saw that in the first half of the last game. If they can keep up that kind of pressure for a full game they are going to be so hard to score on.
Pretty sure the powers that be wanted to make sure Duke would still be relevant after coach k so made sure this first year roster is absolutely loaded with talent. We will have our hands full for sure but I’m hoping we are slightly better defensively and athletically than a team with”upstate” in their name. Other than Mitchell I don’t think I saw too much where they were overwhelmingly athletic for our boys. And the best thing about bill self defense is nobody is ever defending on an island. Help is always near and ready.
