sorry for the late post! I couldn’t get the site to load earlier. I have no word if the freshman for KU will play but last I looked we are a 10.5 point favorite. I hate Kansas almost as much as Carolina so I’m all for their total destruction tonight

Duke-93
Ku- 77

 

[JustAfanatic]

84-70 good guys

 

[AlanInNJ1]

Jon will have the team ready on a big stage. I like Duke pulling away in the second half. Evans with 6 threes!

Duke 86
Kansas 69

 

[Mac9192]

It seems like Self has had Duke's number lately. We need a win.

 

[Dad2ze]

I agree with @AlanInNJ1 Duke pulls away later. Cam will have a slow start in the 1st but will dominate the 2nd. Evans will have 5+ 3s tonight.

Duke - 81
KU - 69

 

[The Only Blue]

Peterson will not be playing tonight. Just win please but there will be excuses from the haters regardless. We win easy, they will say we should have since they didn't have Peterson. We barely win, we're not that good because they would've won if they had Peterson.

 

[JimboSlice00]

No Peterson is a major deal for Kansas. Just win!! Let’s go Duke!

 

[DukeFromNYC33]

Kansas has won 5 outta the last 6 against us, including an Elite 8 win. We owe them big time.

Just because Peterson is out doesn't mean Self won't have a gameplan to beat us, and I'm sure they will play hard. Last year we were much more talented, but they punked us in the first half by being extremely physical and somewhat dirty. I think were ready this year.

Duke 80
Kansas 68

 

[christophero]

Duke wins.

 

[dukesince91]

Duke with a W!
81-68

 

[sheyduke]

Duke wins . Khamenia has a big game and Harris with 3 three’s

 

[christophero]

This is not a vintage Kansas team and their star freshman is out. Still it's Kansas so I'm expecting a single digit win by us.

 

[christophero]

MSU up 17 on Kentucky.

 

[christophero]

RR turning on Pope big time.

 

[The Only Blue]

Belt to ***

 

[pisgah101]

RR turning on Pope big time.

I’ll read it later. They might have a dud coach

 

[The Only Blue]

Calm down and Rebound guys. We're getting pushed around now

 

[DukeCorey21]

Another horrible start by Duke. Why do they always struggle first half?

 

[christophero]

Eh we're fine. We need a game like this.

 

[dukesince91]

We had several consecutive empty possessions that really cost us some momentum. I feel good about how we fought back.

 

[christophero]

Kansas ain't Army or Indiana State. Good test for us. We are a second half team.

 

[Dad2ze]

A lot of forced shots

 

[JimboSlice00]

Hope they go right at Bidunga and get a 3rd foul on him.

 

[christophero]

8 point halftime lead. Start the bus!
(Joking)

 

[pisgah101]

I wish Sarr could hit that corner 3

 

[JimboSlice00]

Please hit free throws.

 

[christophero]

8 point lead

 

[denverexpat]

Nice win. Didnt panic when they closed the gap and played tight defense down the stretch, especially on the boards. A quality win.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Solid win!

 

[pisgah101]

Real nice win with some real game pressure

 

[christophero]

Great win.

 

[The Only Blue]

Good win. Alot of fight in the guys. We couldn't pull away but when they got close wet always had an answer. Could've won by a bunch more if we made our free throws. 17-26 is inexcusable

 

[Mac9192]

Love the way this team is competing. Not a flashy bunch, but boy they’re playing tough.

 

[christophero]

Kansas may end up a 4/5 seed but they are a brand name and will be a nice feather in our cap on selection sunday.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Played our C+ to B- game and won by 12. I'll take it. A win is a win. And yes, practice those free throws, guys!

 

[sheyduke]

Sarr , imo needed to sit . He either forces, goes to soft to the basket or looks lost at times . He needs to let the game come to him . I can’t say the game would have been different if Peterson played maybe a little closer. Good learning point as the season goes on .

 

[JimboSlice00]

Cayden had a really good night and hit some much needed shots at critical times. He will really help this team throughout the year but man do I hope we get a sophomore year out of him.

Scheyer made some really good decisions subbing down the stretch. He needed Foster on the court for defense and Cayden to help run the offense. Nik and Sarr are going to take some time, Nik slow on defense and Sarr makes some poor decisions.

 

[christophero]

I love upperclassman but I think little Boozer will end up starting at pg. Foster will still get pt.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that he was a +17. I haven't seen the box score but it seemed like we did really well with him out there
