Duke vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[JFCats22]

Duke’s big 3 absolutely embarassing Cal and UK.

60 for Duke this half.

Would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Hero simply not quick enough to create his own shot in this game

[teamchemistry15]

Well, I was wrong. We've definitely regressed since the Bahamas. Duke is going to win by 40.

Green and Herro need to stop forcing stuff. Like, ten minutes ago.

Most embarrassing half of basketball I have seen at UK since KU put a 120 or so on one of the probation team

Peal some paint Coach. We can still win this game.

Kentucky got a lot of hype for absolutely no reason. I hope this is from a lack of effort because that can be corrected. Lack of talent, I'm not sure.

Yep. Unimaginably bad half for both.

Also, it'd be nice if we could shut off a straight line drive just once this game.

Defense is about pride, but you also wonder if we might have a lack of juice and electricity. Kentucky basically has three forwards out there at the same time along with Herro. That's not a recipe for stopping electric drivers.

Herro got driven by at least 20 times that half.

You apparently were absent for some of the Billy Clyde classics.

Oh, it was for a reason. That's a ton of talent out there for Kentucky and some guys who have performed in big games.

I'm not sure if Duke is legitimately that much better or if we just lack the necessary athleticism to stop them one on one.

Sometimes you can have talent but not athleticism.

If zHero doesn’t learn to play better defense he simply can’t play but Green was no better. I know it impossible to quantify but where is the fire the intensity the DESIRE to win Dont see s peep of it

They looked kind of shell shocked.

That's what happens when a team shoots 80% in the first ten minutes. Kentucky kind of went into panic mode.

Best they looked was when they calmed down and started getting it to Travis. But defensively I'm not sure what options they have. When they started to fly around and try to make plays the whistles started.

RJ Barrett is a MONSTER.

Billy Clyde never even came close to having 10 McDonald’s All Americans on his teams as bad as they were

RJ Barrett is a MONSTER.

Crazy good player.

You wish Kentucky had a shot-blocker to slide over and challenge him when he goes to the basket, but alas, we have Nick Richards.
