Can’t even look forward to a primetime matchup in MSG with these clown *** refs. Bet my paycheck Oscar picks up #3 before the 1st tv timeout in the 2nd half. Both of his fouls were bs btw
GAME THREAD: UK V DUKE
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
Definitely with all that BS we dealt with, yeah we can’t hit the broad side of the barn but we have fought. I think we will be fine regardless of the outcome of the game. TyTy won’t play this bad many games this year.
You know it’s bad when Bilas and his yes man can’t justify them.
As we’ve said, we’ll have to shoot our way out of this. There’s no other way.
That foul on TyTy was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean those phantom calls don't seem to go our way.
Free throws:
UK - 3/4
Duke - 12/17
UK - 3/4
Duke - 12/17
I concur. We ain’t playing great and keeping with striking distance of this MIGHT Duke team. And that’s with the zebra help they are getting.
Brooks can’t defend, rebound, or shoot but he’s someone’s kid so we gotta get him ready for draft night!
Calls aren’t going our way, but we knew they wouldn’t coming in. We are shooting pretty poorly…but we are still in this thing. Have to stop missing point blank shots and need to be much more efficient overall on the offensive end but overall, we aren’t in a terrible spot right now. Not to beat a dead horse but sure would be nice to have one more beefy big out there with or to alternate with Oscar
How about that guard play?!
I feel like I haven't seen this since... idk..maybe Fox? Maybe the twins?
Very pleased so far.

The refs really have no shame. Bad call after bad call.
Yeah seeing how the shots aren’t falling and we getting a bad whistle I like where we’re at
Hey @Glenn's take, there's a reason we complain about officiating so much. This first half is a prime example. Called straight up, we lead by 5-7 points
He should but I’m gonna guess Cal won’t start him. If not I hope he’s off the bench quickly
Wow almost doubled when I know Duke has fouled just as much if not more!
Let Grady fire away. Toppin stays in to guard Banchero. Brooks keeps his warm ups on. Get TY TY going. Pray Oscar doesn’t get third foul early.
These things must happen to win. Probably all of them.

She's someone's daughter..... sorry couldnt resist. I agree.
Despite all of Washington struggling, Brooks playing bad and the foul situation, Kentucky is hanging tough with Duke trailing 35-39. Hopefully they can clean up the issues in the 2nd half and pull out the win. We shall see.
It’s insane, man I wish we got this whistle.
All things considered we’re not in a bad spot
Seriously? We’re behind by four. And they have NINE more points at the line. We are freaking fine.
I don’t think almost losing two exhibition games is an impressive as Cal seems to think it is. 
I want a lineup of Oscar toppin Grady mintz and wheeler…that’s the best shot we have. Have to have 2 shooters on the wings
Right. Like when they called the 2nd one Oscar. Pretty sure he said something like it was a late call but the right one and he thought they were calling the foul for the Brooks fadeaway. Then he was just silent. Even he had no idea how to spin it.
Oscar has this rodman appeal to his offensive rebounding.
And wheeler has made some big shots, along with Grady.

We’ve hung in there. I’d like to see us throw in more guard rotation. Tyty played too much. He should be getting a lot of minutes but all our guards should be getting on the floor
Haha you made me laugh out loud, literally. Haha
Grady’s fade away baseline three was sic and a must basket.
17 free throws?!?! You've gotta be kidding.
He's played great on one end of the floor .. His D and any help on the boards is near zero . He better stick threes
This. Whistles are different on each end. Gotta love the pat adams ******** call on tyty. Whenever they do call one on Duke ratface immediately cries about it. Duke makes me sick.
That's one place Coach K coaches circles around Cal. Duke almost always has a better looking offense than us. Our's is mostly just dribbling around in circles trying to get a drive to the glass or throw it out for a rushed 3.
