Wouldn't have expected anything less than for Duke to go up to South Bend and wax Notre Dame immediately after the Irish kicked our asses in Rupp. For some reason the college basketball gods just hate the University of Kentucky.

That my friend would be called coaching. Cal himself has said in the past they don't watch game film or if they do it's very little. Anyone who has played basketball knows that if you know your opponent you stand a better chance. Hell even in pick up ball you normally know who to leave open etc. If you don't watch film of your opponent you start off behind most of the time.
The team watched the movie Secretariat the night before the Wisky game in 2015.
I guess Cal had already determined that team was going to make history!
They could have had they watched game film!

Because he had back surgery the prior offseason and when he stopped coaching the team was ranked #11.
He returned too quickly after surgery in October but then K bailed on his team and refused to come back after they went on a long losing streak. While rehabbing, K cut off all communications with the Duke team and assistant coaches, but still found time to meet with prospective recruits. What a guy!

One of the few people to see the reclusive coach in the past three weeks was Vince Carter, a blue-chip recruit from Daytona Beach, Fla., who visited Krzyzewski at his home on Jan. 15. "He was up and about," says Carter. "He didn't seem like a guy who has had all these back problems. He's just anxious to get back. He misses his players."

Krzyzewski will apparently have to wait until next fall to rejoin them, and how much rebuilding he'll have to do then remains to be seen.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about this team's future," says Capel. "It's hard to believe, but we're 0-6 and, looking at the big picture, there's a very real chance we won't make the NCAAs."

Duke rolled the team that just beat us, and you claim we are better than Duke? How someone can come up with this amazes me. Homerism on full display.
Not homoism, it’s an observation of our potential. Seasons over for most fans, I’m assuming you are one of those fans.

Ahhh. My bad. Potential. I think that word has a lot to do with the outhouse basketball we see now. Potential. Sorry. I think you are just being a homer, because the facts says you are wrong. ND beat us, Duke killed ND, but yet you think we are better than Duke, OK

Ok, Duke is better than us because of one game.

But wasn’t his last game coaching when they were ranked #11? And Vince Carter went to K’s home lol, you don’t ever see recruits do that unless there’s a special circumstance

Bottom line is he abandoned his team, stopped communicating with his own players and assistant coaches but found time to entertain recruits.

I guess you can look at it that way but I don’t think he “abandoned” his team where he had an injury that wouldn’t let him coach to his abilities and requires him to take time off.

I don't know but UK has UNC coming up and the focus should be on this. If Cal loses that one he is 1-5 with UL coming up. He can not afford to lose another non conference game because it might knock him out of the tournament.

The SEC will not be a cake walk this season.

Should be an interesting game. It would be nice to see ND take duke out too.
Somehow duke is -2.5.
For one half, we let ND run any offense they wanted, unimpeded and with plenty oif open shots. At least Coach K is smart enough not to let them do it in either half of their game. We should have and could have won against Richmond, GT, and ND, if only we had played defense with energy and an edge. I want our guys to duplicate their second half effort against ND with 40 minutes of hell against UNC. We will get much better offensive flow going with that kind of very tough defense. Let's hope...

It sounds like that’s what you all want.

Do you have to take the Lord's name in vain just to get your point across? You can curse without having to do that. Speaking for myself, I find it extremely offensive.
Thank you, I feel the same way, plus it is deliberate when you type it, we all let things slip when talking.
We all have the freedom of speech and I totally agree, and the freedom of religion, but I don't like reading that.

Some people. I get being positive and what. But to say we are better than Duke is crazy talk. We may end up better at some point this season. But not right now. I should probably put that member on ignore so I don't waste any more of my time on what he has to say.

for

I’m curious so just going out on a limb here and ask...do you believe the presidential election was “stolen”?
Of course!
I could give a **** less about your views though. You’re probably one of those that said the virus would go away after the election.

The reality is UK is 1 and 4 with a legit chance at going 1 and 6 into conference play

The reality is Duke dominated a ND team at ND, while UK was dominated by the same team and needed a hectic comeback to have a shot at winning at the end at Rupp...

The reality is, today Duke looks like the better team. Both Duke and UK have alot of potential with uk having more of course, but today Duke is the better team.

Duke was also missing their best 5* freshmen. And the hits just keep on coming.

Little thing called the Constitution. It will be over on January 20th. Not before.
Lol, I am going to go out on a limb and guess you have never actually read the Constitution or more specifically the 12th amendment. The general election is over. The electors college has voted. The 20th is simply when the terms start. It’s ovah!

Woo congrats Sniffy Grandpa on stealing an election!
I have been a Republican me entire life. I will say that if you use language like this, or actually believe what you just typed, then you are a complete idiot, 100%, and you hate America and democracy. What Trump and his cronies, who are NOT Republicans, have attempted to do is so unbelievably shocking. Anyone who supports them can get out and go to whatever dictator led country is more suited for them. I’ll stick to democracy and American values.

Ah so Orange man bad? Nah what you and your RINOS do is give the country to a creepy old man and his narcissistic VP owned by China. With republicans like you the GOP doesn’t need enemies.

Btw America is a republic not a democracy.

We suck. No doubt. But.. If we didnt dig a mountain of a hole to begin with, to climb out of. We likely beat them with exactly same margin or even more so. If we are gauging it on "any given night"
