********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD*********

[Crawfords Corner]

...and it wasn't even close to one.

It was a hook. Easiest call of the game.

 

[kyjeff1]

Quade still has the same nervous panic pass yips he had the first two years. Hate to say it but if they aren't gone by now they probably aren't going to

Quade hasn't been here two years.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

If that first half were a horse, it'd be taken out back in shot in the head - :uzi:

 

[jameslee32]

Defense is humbled. Offense is not smooth. Calls not happening in our favor. Fake fans on our board. A bad first night.

 

[oldsports_]

Cal had them ready tonight, 59 at half by Duke.
Cal will get things cleaned up, make a few adjustments I hope.
Hero was a Zero so far

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Or perimeter pressure.

That is very true.

 

[flcatfan07]

59 points is ridiculous... just sad and pathetic... looks like our football defense against Georgia NONE!

 

[mhroe1984]

Well, that was atrocious

 

[track42]

Herro and Johnson were so overrated.

 

[Vossler22]

i'm not too upset if we lose this because i know we can learn from it. but i'm not gonna be one of those "oh we will be great in march" guys cause we've been shown that isn't the case a lot of times. but jesus christ we look like a complete dumpster fire right now.

 

[UKortho]

At least we are a team that doesn’t need to make threes.- but we are a great 3 point shooting team.

 

[On-On-UK_rivals45415]

Damn, I wish we could make a shot.

 

[bbnkat02]

Unless we pull a miracle this one is over.

5 months of Duke slobber.

I was ok with a loss. I’m not ok with a demoralizing season gag.

 

[al.ksr]

Omg you’re in denial.

So Shows hasn't made some bs calls? Sounds like you're the one in denial.

 

[Nubb16]

Absolutely embarrassing

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

Would love a West Virgina 2nd half come back. When the hell is ESPN going to learn we don't need them to take up half of the f****g screen during live in-game interviews. We can hear them without seeing the person hog the screen.

 

[Wildcatclone24]

I thought Duke couldn’t shoot and UK could???

That’s what we were led to believe

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Herro and Johnson were so overrated.

Johnson? Wed be down 30 without him

 

[fabcat]

Well it's a reality check for them and some fans that thought this team was better than the 15 team or the 12 team. Both of those teams would wax this one as well. Duke is humiliating them. Will see if these kids have any sack on them in the second half

 

[blubo]

I guess that team we saw that looked so awesome in the bahamas was just fool’s gold.

 

[Himmels]

Bottom line, we are outmatched athletically

 

[*CatinIL*]

That was a terrible first half. I don't know halftime speech Calipari has for them but it better be a good one. Hopefully they can come back out and make a game of it but damn, they've been digging a hole with a backhoe.

 

[Dreklie]

So are we this fkn bad or is duke this fkn good?

 

[jrpross_rivals]

That was the crappiest half of basketball I’ve seen in quite a while.

 

[ck-2]

I guess this is to be expected when you have a really young team who hasn’t played together much. Duke on the other hand is a veteran team and it shows in how well prepared they were for this game.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Jack White has 7 rebounds.

probably half of those would've gone to Herro had he bothered to block out

 

[ObjectivelyModerate]

As I said before and will repeat, Duke plays its best games in November and December, and by March they will be playing zone and playing selfishly fighting over who will be the top pick. In the meantime, the media will eat up everything they do.

 

[12375CAT]

C'mon Cats

 

[RoyKent]

Scary to think that Duke is only going to get better this season.

College basketball better watch out.

 

[Xception]

Herro is a shooter who you play if he’s on but sit if he’s not, he’s a gunner that can win or shoot you out of a game

 

[jrpross_rivals]

So are we this fkn bad or is duke this fkn good?

Neither

 

[Jakarii]

I wish Cal would have stuck with the Bahamas starting line up. Nicks confidence can’t handle coming off the bench and things were going smoothly. Now I rarely criticize Cal but I just can’t help it this time, for some reason he wanted to tinker with things when that line up clearly played well together and guys coming off the bench played well in that role.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Team bus before game

”Earned, not given”

 

[kyjeff1]

It was a hook. Easiest call of the game.

Are you going to cry about the refs all game and just ignore how bad our team is playing?
I mean, you have to be a complete schmuck to think this is the refs fault. We suck and Duke is much more talented and polished and honestly, they're coached far better than our guys are.
But you just go on and keep blaming the refs.

 

[Wildcatclone24]

So are we this fkn bad or is duke this fkn good?

Neither

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Our guys look like JBA players. Duke's guys look like the GSW

 

[BBallin23]

Herro shouldn’t be playing he’s been awful. He’s doesn’t deserve to start at this point in the season.

 

[jameslee32]

I don't get the Johnson hate. He's one of the few with a pulse.

 

[Vossler22]

all you guys complaining about the refs, we still get completely canned if you take out the bad calls. stop pretending like its not on us right now. we look like trash.

 

[fatguy87]

Well, the good news is that 60 first half points is anamolous. We aren’t that bad and Duke isn’t that good.
