W over Duke or Kansas?
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Always comes down to who is higher in the pecking order, so in this case it’s dook. For me, the question would be dook or UNCheat.
Gotta be KU for me. The 3 year winning streak for the Jayhawks is the reason why.
At this point in time, with it being the 1st game of the season,and with it being under a bigger spotlight, and with the recent recruiting histories between the two teams, I will say the Duke game.
Makes sense. I just cant stand duke and want too see them lose at all costs. Once K is gone my feelings will change but not until then.
Duke.
Cal's Murray team's win over Duke put him on cloud nine for a few days. He orchestrated the Bam/Monk commitments on the days surrounding the game. It's obviously huge for him when UK takes down the Devils and becomes like a Roman parade after a huge victory.
Plus, even though Kansas has the winning streak, we've really owned them outside the last three years. I still feel like an older brother letting my little brother back into a backyard basketball game.

That makes sense.
This year will be different though. Most of America will be watching the Duke Trinity Sessions vs. #1 UK in November. By January, the UK/KU game will be an afterthought for most of America.
That's why I want to see UK over Duke more. More people, and recruits, will be paying attention. Cal will probably be on 3 radio programs that week and two or three ESPN interviews as well. It's the bigger game in college ball right now.
I want to beat both their butts ! Would love to beat Duke & Kansas. Shut them both up but if I had to pick one it would be Duke.

If I had to pick one, I’m taking a home win over Kansas. Beating Duke helps you in a lot of ways, but a narrow loss hurts you only slightly. However, we really can’t afford to lose at home to KU again.
My expectation is that we win both.

Huh??? Well that stinks.
This is where I'm at too. I bet our freshmen show out and out perform theirs. Ours will play with a chip. Cal will see to that.
Another great point. Couldn't have said it better myself. You're a fantastic poster here.
Because your Helm Titles from the 1800s don't count
Tough one but I’d go with KU too. Lose to Dook early then beat them in the NCAAs when it counts.
The wife and I are actually trying to get tickets for the KU game. Anyone here point a fellow Cat fan in the right direction? Not sure if my ticket hook will be able to help me on this one. Will find out tomorrow. Need a backup plan.
Duke, and please please please let it be an a$$ whoopin of epic proportions.
This year without question it’s Kansas. Don’t want to lose 4 straight and don’t want to lose to them at home.
This year it's KU.
Got to protect home court.
I hate losing, I really hate losing at home.
A loss on a neutral court or on the road I can deal with (don't like it, but get over it quicker), but not at Rupp.

This was a really hard decision for me. It would kill me to see us lose our fourth straight game to Kansas, and at home to boot. But that first game with Duke this year would be a statement game, and push the all-time series to 13-9 in our favor with them. Gotta pick Duke, but just barely.
Going KU on this one...I don't like ANY team holding a winning streak against us. Especially don't want to see one extended on our home court.
To easy!
Duke or KU? Duke
Duke or UL? Duke
Duke or UNCheat? Ok, this one depends from year to year, but this year Duke.
Duke or anyone else, Duke.

We really need to beat KU but Duke with their whole 3 top recruits thing is in desperate need of a beating as well. Tough call but the home win is the clincher.
We are beating both of them and maybe beating 1 of them 2x this year Like we did Kansas in 2012. It might be Pukes turn to to take couple L's to us this year. We are the best team in nation.
Ha ha, I know, but you lofted up a meatball and I had to take a swing. Too good to pass up.
