Ok. Time to shake it off and start a new. It’s the second half so it’s a new ball game, Duke is possibly over confident now which can be a negative and help UK get back in it because they may be careless due to that over confidence.

Remember UK was less talented last year on the road and down 18 when they came back and beat WVU. It will all start with defense and winning 5 min at a time!!! For some reason I still think UK can win this, the percentages say they won’t but there is a chance.

Gonna have to kick up the defense big time . they’re scoring pretty much at will.

Might as well zone them! Just kidding. Even if we needed to, that wouldn’t benefit anyone’s draft stock. I hope PJ and Reid shooting 3s isn’t a common thing this year just so they can display that part of their game to the league lol.

I can handle a loss, even if it is to Puke. What I can't stomach is getting humiliated; that is inexcusable. Hopefully we come out ready to play some defense, and work for good shots and make it respectable.

I never thought they would make every 3 and us miss everyone about to start Next have you ever seen so many tough and 1's go in? Finally w are supposed to be about 80% from the line and them way below, but it's like in reverse this game. No crying in basketball, but dam some of these calls and luck is killing me. Bolden got fouled and threw one up over his head with no view and it went in LMFAO. It's far from over, rally time. They will cool off and we have to heat up, but O rebounding has to be better! Plus PJ has to insert himself as the dom! Funny most of their fouls are going again bench players, not us. F dook and these sucky *** refs, Lets go!

Keldon will make him work but no he can’t guard him, no one in college can. This is the RJ I posted about last week saying if he showed up then Duke could win. Anyone that watched the FIBA game when Canada beat the U.S will agree with me that this is the RJ UK didn’t want to face, this is the one that zone won’t work against because he will hit threes. Best bet might be a box and one

I think Keldon can guard him, but I fear that RJ is gonna get the MJ treatment with the whistle.

I thought Reid would be able to stay with Zion, and he may be able to do so despite that ugly defense on the one Zion drive. It looks like PJ may have to match up with him.

However, I think there is another mismatch with whoever is guarding Reddish as he has the length to shoot over anyone else.

Cept for those 5 titles K has. This post makes no sense.
Their last two titles happened because two of Cal's greatest teams crapped their pants.
Your posts sounds moronic. Are you really comparing Coach K and Duke in 1991 to this team. Yes, Duke won in 2015 with a great freshman class but they had very solid upperclassmen in Cook (now on GS, Jefferson, Plumlee, and Matt Jones). Duke has only freshman this year. The last few years where they really only had freshman (and a crazy Allen) they have played well early then gotten worse.

As long as I see fight from our guys I'm not going to get too uptight about this one.

No walk on Zion, wide open 3 for Duke...

The Cats played good defense to force Zion into a travel, but no call.

Now I'd like to hear from anyone that says the poor officiating isn't making this worse???

God, someone should save this thread if UK comes back and makes a miraculous win. It would be an all time turn around, considering how piss poor they played and how off the charts good Duke looks. But I've seen stranger things happen.

Then we can laugh at how everyone was acting like a total loser. But that's just par for the course here in RR land.

How about trying to have a little faith everything isn't as bad as you all are convincing yourselves of based on the very first game this year?

geez

the IQ level of this board is in single digits

go big blue! c'mon, UK, let's get this thing back and make a freaking game of it! you boys really need to be doing what I've said all along during the Cal era, that is to be playing for the name on the FRONT of your jersey, not the one on the back

Saw this coming after the way we looked in exhibitions, but all the homers said they meant nothing.

We're just not the same team right now we were in Bahamas. That might be a good thing because I was worried about peaking early.
