This is as bad as the beatdown we put on Kansas a few years ago. I think that's all I want to see. Wanted to see if we would show any fight and that is a definite no.
This is a lot worse than that Kansas game. Duke is nearly to triple digits with 10 minutes to go.

I know one thing. Cal should give every fan that traveled up there a refund and pay their hotel bill out of his pocket.

This was supposed to be a great Ky defensive team. Puke has three dominant players but our d has been God awful in every possible way. Totally embarrassing.

We suck. Don’t even tune in for basketball. Duke could all go down lolike Marshall football back in the early 70’s and this crew isn’t winning a championship

Hated seeing Cal just sitting there on the bench after Zion stole that ball from Nick. If coach wants to quit on the game why should our team keep playing?

Zero Defense played by this team. ZERO! And not hitting shots doesn’t help either. I hope Cal focuses solely on defense. It’s the first game, so I’m not too upset or concerned. Just hate losing to Duke.

My facts are common sense. Name me 5 programs that have more tournament success than Duke the last 15-20 years.
Wow, do you still have a Members Only jacket too. I am not talking about Duke in the 1990s or even 2010 (Coach K's greatest coaching job). He sold his soul to the OAD devil. His 2015 team needed a solid group of upperclassman. I know this game makes every player look good but by March, the rotation will be down and players will be frustrated. Duke is an outstanding team but they will peak in 2018, IMO.

Coach Cal just sucks at running offenses without having the most talent on the floor these days and evidently no other assistant coach can or is allowed to teach it either. We need a set offensive style with the players that can run it and the coaches that can teach it.

Losing interest in Kentucky basketball. Just going to have a hard time reeling this team in. Can’t explain or find legitimate reason for an *** whipping like this.

Nah. This game is an offensive display where as that game was a defensive display. Just because the point total is higher doesnt make it worst.

Are you serious? Zone? Do you want Duke to make 100 three's tonight or something. With the way Duke is shooting if we zone this team they'll win by 30. I really don't understand the fascination with the zone defense.
Yeah your right , what am I thinking, you can't give up threes in man right? I'm so silly what was I thinking .

Honestly, that's been my biggest complaint about Cal since his arrival. Even on his most talented teams, he should've coached more

Okay, so you should have no problem.naming 5 programs with better post season success than Duke, a program that you said sucks in March. I'll wait.

I think he will but K owns him and it’s not close. It’s his own fault. When he retires.

Terrible game plan. Played right into Dukes hands. Track meet with f’n Keldpn Kohnson and Pj shooting threes. Hahahahahaha

Unbelievably bad coaching. One of the worst performances of his career. I hope he’s embarrassed.

And for everyone wondering why I’ve said top 5 players are so critical to our rosters with high turnover.

There ya go. Is it Easy to understand now that there’s typicaly a big difference in a top 5 player and a top 15 player?
I always agreed about the top 5 player thing. They’re the only reason he ever won anything to begin with. Anytime he doesn’t have top 5 players he flops hard. It’s because he can’t coach worth a ****. Even with Capel gone it doesn’t look like he will get any top 5 guys.

He got fat and lazy after 2012.
