Players who showed out today: Flory (duh), Tiller, except he needs to stop shooting 3's even if the announcers try telling us he's good at shooting it from out there. Tre White is surprising me with his toughness. Council has some surprising athleticism. Even the underachieving 11 and 13 guys played decently I thought and made a 3 a piece and played some nice defense at times.

ND should have stopped shooting 3's. They weren't even close on most of those. They weren't a very good looking team to be honest, but it's always good to beat Notre Dame in any sport.

It just feels like we'll get back from break and they won't even mention the intentional.

Wow, how about an intentional foul too?

Was that foul really on Flory? WHat did he do?

We have not beaten a major conference team so far.

Amazing when this happens, but Duke finally gets an offensive push and they cash in for a cheap goal. 1-0 near halftime.

Soccer clearly outplaying 2nd seeded Duke in Durham. KU has the most road wins in the nation in the last two seasons!

@Layla Hi! New? I teach and have 3 Layla's this year. Hope you're better behaved!!

@rockchalkjayhawk Of course I never notice it when our guys do it!

This defense is offensive.

@kjayhawks Because you sound seriously spoiled

@kjayhawks No one who is a chiefs fan can complain about anything that happens on a football field.

I guess I'll go finish up the yard.

Come on offense, keep the game interesting, I don't want to turn it off early and have to go outside and take care of the lawn.

Also ref waited for result of play to throw the flag. After suffering a drive killing non PI call last time we had the ball and this it's just going to be hard to win with this admittedly piss poor defense.

Oh bull crap here we go again taking away interceptions from us. Shaky call there from that replay.

Radio says he can kick with both legs and that helped right there.

That's some amazing special teams play there.

Pass interference anyone?

Jalon missed Henderson wide open down the field.

@patoh3 I thought the same but it would have just delayed the inevitable!

Got to watch a little Dybantsa yesterday, and man does he carry the ball A LOT! I'm glad I didn't watch more than 10 minutes as I was busy but saw several clear carries. I'm sure we'll notice it when we play them.

Their O-Line is huge. Not sure if it's huger than others, but seeing lots of 330-340's on their roster and lead blocker on that first down run is 355 pounds. Can you imagine?

@FarmerJayhawk Wow, that's a lot of injuries! Hopefully he can pick them apart.

This is probably the better of our two chances left to become bowl eligible.

Beating the defending Pop Tarts Bowl champion is always a big deal of course. So tomorrow we've got our work cut out for us. They're good enough to have beaten KState which of course we weren't. But they're also capable of losing to Cincy at Cincy which of course, we did too, but barely. They trounced Arizona, which we didn't.

So what does it all mean? Probably another close loss putting this season out of its misery unless we can surprise much tougher Utah next week.

Reasons for hope is a layoff of 2 weeks, but ISU has the same. Lance has their number is another reason for hope. But sometimes those streaks end.

I'm gonna miss watching Jalon Daniels. He's got some detractors here and some frustrating habits, like fumbling at really bad times, but his 21 TD's and only 3 INTs is an impressive stat. Hopefully he gives us another good moment tomorrow and that the D holds.

Anyone know any faith healers in Lawrence?

GOAL!!!! 8 minutes left. 2-1 Good gals.

2nd round match today at 3. Glad ESPN+ lets you watch from the beginning at your convenience.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah Tyshawn is maybe a better comp. If it leads to a near national championship then great!

Wow, that's amazing!

Melvin had some LaGerald Vick looking plays in him last night. The surprise dunk on a semi fastbreak was the play that I thought of that comparison.

A bit annoying to see tweets and ESPN headlines treating Dukes win as a coronation to the title of greatest team ever because they beat us without our best player.

The L's are piling up for this team already!

@kjayhawks said in Duke Game:

@wissox this team is missing a back true 5 and a consistent shooter imo but we’ll have to see how guys grow into their role.

I don't get this at all. Missing a center? Flory plays next to the rim the whole game. He scores almost at will, just punished Dukes bigs, plays nice defense, rebounds could improve a bit, but I have no clue why you think we're missing a true center.

Focus on the next. Beating ND would be our first win of the season against a P5 type team. They should beat them I believe, but without DP (?) we'll need to play well with energy like we did last night.

Kansas 59-57 while Flory was on the floor. In other words, the 21-7 Duke run in the last 8 minutes of the first half was all those a holes needed to beat us.

Notre Dame is next on Monday at 2:30.

Two big men valiently fighting for a rebound but the ref thinks one of them is cheating.

Hmm, champions classic in Chicago next year. I'll be retired. Maybe?

He just might be the best Melvin in KU history.

I hope in the handshake line someone fouls the ref.

ANyone see boozer just shove flory in the back?

@patoh3 Flory fouled the rim!

Giving up points at the stripe now.

Really never thought I'd pay attention to this game this far into it. Really proud of our guys.

PHantom foul on Flory, like what the heck?

Nice Tiller. Lets get a stop.

6 pushes our guys all over the place.

Kohls game is not on the perimeter. I know he made a 3 like 3 weeks ago against central Zimbabwe state but goodness it's ugly.

Council gets decked. Of course there's not enough there to really warrent charges, I mean a foul.
