Puke @ Syracuse...Who Ya Got?

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Duke is CLEARLY being favored by the refs this game.

Shocker!

 

[buckethead1978]

Calipari treated Jemarl Baker with the utmost of care.


K treats Joey Baker like a commodity.

 

[EliteBlue]

The Syracuse zone fascinates me. It’s constantly morphin between a 2-3, 3-2, 1-2-2.

The shifts are really unpredictable and aren’t your typical areas of responsibility the way it’s taught on a basic level.

 

[GonzoCat90]

yes lol

Jesus, that's brutal. Not quite Thornton bad, but yikes. He's soulless.

 

[SparksCat]

It has to make you wonder if Williamson will be back. K can’t be worried about seeding. Baker is a 4 year player too. Odd indeed

 

[Blueblood410]

K is a *****

I bet the Bakers’ are enjoying a new house and/or job

 

[EliteBlue]

Booger eatin’ Jim makes an appearance

Didn't Self do the same thing last month at KU?

 

[BigKari]

Made me wonder if they burn the redshirt if they expect Zion back? Then I remembered, it’s Coach K and he’s all about himself. Joey Baker will get used up by the Duke machine and transfer out after next season.

 

[wildcat1515]

This camera angle makes me nauseous.

 

[UKWildcatT]

Say what you want about Pitino, but I remember him refusing to use Sheppard after Anderson got hurt in 97

I can't believe how good they are at rebounding while playing the zone.

 

[bigblue1971]

Syracuse backing off of Tre Jones and he's barely drawing iron.

 

[Cindog28]

My guess is it’s more about trying to find someone that can actually shoot. I’m guessing he’s the new Jack White.

How trendy. [laughing]

I dunno who #21 is for Syracuse, but that dunk was pretty sweet.

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

That skinny white dude is killing Duke.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Didn't Self do the same thing last month at KU?

Probably. I don't pay much attention to Kansas. Most of what I need to know about them comes across the police scanner.

 

[Cindog28]

[laughing] Well done.

 

[JohnBlue]

In the this game the number one team in the country is playing an unranked opponent and a lot of you are picking the underdog.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Cant say the same at uofl. He burned blackshears redshirt close to or in the tournament

 

[o_Ricky]

Does the new 25% rule apply to basketball as well or just FB?

 

[EliteBlue]

Eh, Self did it with a kid in Jan, things happen I guess...

Jan is still half the season. March is next week. We are in the last quarter of the season. He likely won’t even be that heavily utilized and if Zion comes back before the tournament, it just doesn’t make sense.

 

[buckethead1978]

Duke had 1 foul in 19 minutes and 40 seconds

 

[KyCatFan1]

Duke had 1 foul in 19 minutes and 40 seconds

And Coach K still was sitting there talking to the ref going into the half.

 

[Kats23]

Imagine the narrative if Cal did this. A few media guys would have devil horns on Cal before the 2nd half ended

 

[Bigkyfan88]

Duke had 1 foul in 19 minutes and 40 seconds

and then they purposely start fouling and foul a 3 pt shot by Syracuse but the refs call it a foul on the floor.

 

[Cindog28]

Booger eatin’ Jim makes an appearance

Dang. I walked away for a minute. Oh well... I'm sure there is a booger redshirting this year up Boeheim's nose that Coach K will find to burn. [laughing]

 

[CatfanMike47]

Duke had 1 foul in 19 minutes and 40 seconds

Which is bs! They’re grabbing and holding

 

[Blueblood410]

Didn't Self do the same thing last month at KU?

Yes, but it was January and KU knew de Sousa and Azabuike were out for the season.

Makes you wonder about Zion. Duke will spin it out to be about White not making shots, which must make White feel great. “I’m losing my minutes to a dude who hasn’t played all season. Thanks, Coach! THE BROTHERHOOD!”

 

[buckethead1978]

I bet one foul in 19 minutes 40 seconds on the road while playing man to man is an amazing statistical outlier.

I mean, I bet it never happens (unless it is another half of Duke basketball)

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

With ZW out you knew the Zebras would be working overtime.

But now we know why K burned Baker's red-shirt. It was to commit fouls at the end of the half.

 

[Cardsstink]

What have I missed? I heard somebody reclassified during halftime and suited up for Duke?

 

[bigblue1971]

Bolden's assistant coach game is on point tonight!!

 

[KyCatFan1]

I stepped out to get some food earlier and missed the mention of Coach K burning the guy's redshirt with only a few weeks left in the regular season. Did anyone even question that at all? Seems very selfish of Coach K and doesn't make much sense unless Zion shuts it down for the year. I think it's a little late in the year to mess with chemistry.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

I have the volume turned down because Bilas.

Did they seriously call a foul on that 3?

 

[germuk]

O’Connell fouled by a ghost on that 3

 

[zannmann]

They talk about Duke excessively during UK games. When Duke is on they talk about no one else.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Duke lowers the shoulder.. No call. Travis is watching this like "uhh wtf"

 

[Jazzycat]

Looks like dUKe has found their 3 point shooter - O’Connell...

 

[KY_Kid]

Syracuse is crushing Duke on the glass.

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

Refs bailing out Duke big time. Fuhking shameful.
