Dude needs to hang it up. For both the good of CBB and his own health.

Freshmen for KU brought the team back.

It's an exhibition game. Play with pace and compete. That is all he is looking for from the new guys. Getting them comfortable with the speed of the college game is the objective, not running advanced offensive sets.

Laparkafan · 2026-10-25T13:21:15-0500

45-45 at half

bbnkat02 · 2026-10-25T13:22:40-0500

KU up 2 at the half. This is the same Duke that dropped a b2a on EweTee a few days ago.

Sure, EXH and all but a 40 point drumming is still a 40 point drumming.

BluWildcatz · 2026-10-25T13:23:50-0500

So, Duke plays Tennessee and @ Kansas? Seems a lot better than our exhibition schedule....

bbnkat02 · 2026-10-25T13:24:19-0500

First time Duke has played in Allen Fieldhouse in nearly FOURTY years. (1988) How is that even possible?

Yeah, do we ever play a road exhibition game? Like all these teams come to UK and never get a return game? Purdue, Georgetown and now TX tech.

I'm just curious and before the Popettes freak out, not a criticism. Just curious why some big name teams play on road n exhibition and we havent.

Beatle Bum · 2026-10-25T13:30:25-0500

UL is evidently better than Duke and we heard Duke was all world. Go figure.

I'm mixed on that. Teams SHOULD come to us unless its another blue blood.

But I agree it would be nice to test mettle on the road in one of these.

Best change NCAA has made in years. Some of these are fun watches and good preseason matchups.

They look ok but not world beaters. Ut musta played wearing blindfolds or something. ku doesn’t look unbeatable either.

I just want to play top level competition like Duke does and really challenge our team. There's no W/L risk, and all the other top schools seem to be doing it. Uconn went to MSU recently, and Gonzaga just went to Arkansas yesterday. Hell, believe it or not, Alabama and Auburn held a rivalry exhibition.

Stokes an interesting player - loves contact, plays through it really well. Keeps his head up really well. There is nothing graceful about his game, but he is a strong athlete and very active. He's basically the anti-Peterson, much more winning brand of hoops. Dishes the ball well.

Ngongba really keeping Duke in this one, has 1/3 of their points and KU has no answer. Duke's scoring from the outside an issue. No one really shooting it that well. Kansas really physical with them.

I remember reading, no one can touch duke except FL., who lost to Baylor.

bbnkat02 · 2026-10-25T13:52:54-0500

75/73 Duke with EIGHT minutes left. Woof. Defense either not being played or both teams damn good at offense.

Losing the all-time-lead should be a fireable offense.

Wouldn’t be the first time that Ky lost it, I don’t recall anyone getting fired over it.

Tbf, it wouldn't be entirely Pope's fault. Our former coach contributed a fair amount to that in his last few years too.

Kansas has played a ton more games. And UK still has more wins. Winning percentage is better.

moses1uk · 2026-10-25T14:12:10-0500

This will be Dukes toughest away game the entire season

You can say that all you want- most care about the total.

Looks like Duke will win this one. They are once again gonna be a title threat.

It's only the second time in their history they've played here.

Duke has played us in Lexington 12 times.
We have played them in Durham 5 times.

We are 8-4 at home.
They are 4-1 at home.

Both are/were UK coaches. Both have had bad losses in their tenure (Cal at the end-Pope starting out)

Both have contributed to the total game W-L columns. There's nothing unfair about that at all.

We have only played them in Durham once.

I don't think that's right.

We've played 6 times in Lexington. Only ONCE in Rupp and NEVER in Rupp during the Regular Season. Only time we've played them in Rupp was 1980 during the Regional Semifinals.

We're 3-8 against those bastards including that game since then. Ugh.

You may well be right. I just googled AI twice and got two (2) separate answers. Geez ...

Kansas will pass us this year. Get jumped by a couple others if Pope sticks around much longer.
