LOL, Indiana the annually overrated team gets exposed badly against Louisville losing by 28.
@stoptheflop They really have two women broadcasting this game? I have no problem with it but they're not very good.
@Bosthawk said in KU vs Duke Game Thread:
Did one of the announcers (Fran I think) state that Self has said “KJ is one of the best players we’ve ever had”? Ever.
Like it or not, KJ is going to get huge minutes all season as we all know. Personally I love the guy, and love watching him play d.
I've heard Self on a podcast about 3 weeks ago compare KJ to Ochai in terms of impact.
@mayjay LOL, you and Crimson have a memory for everything people write! I think my reaction at the time might have been a little bit 'oh no, this guy's a loose cannon'. The ugly incident with him and Tyler Wahl had a lot of Badger fans seeing red. There already was some tension between the teams because of the Gard/Howard shoving match. When Hunter came to Madison a few weeks after the stomping incident he showed up with some sort of weird assassin mask on. I'd have to guess Bill Self wouldn't put up with crap like that.
But I also remember writing here that we (ku) were getting a very good player who wasn't in the current iteration of the NBA a big threat to leave for the league so I was glad we were getting him. Despite last nights results, we absolutely need him to win and I hope he never gets himself ejected even if it was a bit unjustified like last night.
One more by the way. Looking at ESPN and the homepage for NCAAM has 5 videos from the game featured, 4 are of Duke, not all highlights, several turnovers/missed shots, but only 1 KU highlight, Griffens drive and 1.
By the way, Grayson Allen was never ejected from a game.
@approxinfinity It was interesting after the ejection that the zebras started making up and we got the preponderance of the whistles after that.
Just read something funny. For the Champions classic ESPN's matchup predictor gave Duke a 70% chance to beat Kentucky. Tonight it was a 69% chance for them to beat us.
Ya'll know how those two games worked out for duke?
Bucketeer of the day award to @Texas-Hawk-10 for cheering them on to victory!!
Future KU opponent Furman playing right now on the same floor on ESPNU
Beat NCState in a couple of weeks and we're 4-0 against the State of North Carolina. @Crimsonorblue22 Jay Williams, the former Duke player ESPN guy
This team is TOUGH
@tundrahok He learned from the worst
Scheyer talking to refs.
The future #1 draft pick had 4 TO's this game and I don't mean Time Outs.
Guard Proctor after this I'd advise
ESPN focusing on Duke big time.
Haven't seen Scheyer whine at all in the last 10 minutes.
KJ get fouled there by any chance?
Harris one assist away from a double double
LOL, they won't call fouls on us since they cheated us!
Gurley wanted contact called on that.
It's been way more pleasant since cueing up my phone radio call with Brian Hanni. I was getting so pissed at the bias.
@nuleafjhawk LOL, 2022! Not that long ago!
Hunter wasn't ejected or even whistled for this two years ago. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Vx-V16ZR01Q ↗
@Kcmatt7 I have problems with it being allowed to get to that. The kid fouled hunter like 3 times as he drove. When refs let that go, frustration sets in.
Pushed off again.
Brown's been doing that to Hunter all half.
We better get some makeup calls.
Nice game guys. Congrats Duke, you needed a bogus ejection to win this game.
Wow, ejected for that?
I just turned the radio call on. Can't take this biased crap any more.
Ethan Happ received one of those feet once from Hunter.
I mean he fouled him as he was driving. Like 3 times. If the ref had taken control that wouldn't have ended up like that.
@DanR All half
No, he didn't foul Hunter at all on that lob.
Refs taking over
@SlimShaddy54 I think Hunter is getting hacked all the time.
I'll say this about Cooper, we've D-d him up well and he's not trying to force the action. I still wish they'd have called the push off on him on the first play of the half.
That Proctor is an amazing shooter
nononono good shot
Whoa what a block!
I do worry about our bench in this game. They've contributed 4 points and really let us down when most of them were in the game. We can run with these five guys all game.
@approxinfinity I wish he'd gone to Wisconsin. Gard has trouble getting the high profile guys from the state.
Awesome defense
KJ hot right now.
His line 12 pts, 6 dimes, 3 steals.
Someone is staring at his screen in disbelief right now about what Juan is doing.
Duke needs the refs help to beat us.
Nice AJ
