Duke's up by almost 20, yet K will probably be more pissed than happy going into the break.
Giving up 40 points and 50% shooting is a no-no.

Alright, scanning the ACC scoreboard, I see Wake trailing Colgate, Syracuse trailing Cornell, and NC State only up 5 against App, all at the half.
New ACC, same as the old ACC, apparently.

This team is too small
Well UF managed to beat UNF tonight, 77-69, so I guess a win is a positive. This team is obviously depleted right now (Kurtz played 22 minutes, so enough said), so that game next Tuesday at Wisconsin could get real ugly, real fast. Oh well, when UF gets back Wilbekin, Finney-Smith, Harris, and Chris Walker (hopefully this January assuming he qualifies) and have a healthy Yeguete and Frazier, this team will be a lot more formidable than they are right now.
Edit: UK will likely pull away in the 2nd half. Besides, UK will probably need time to jell and when tourney time comes I'm guessing they'll have a 1 seed.

Yeah, they have really small guards. Harrison twins just keep driving through them :lol
Of course, we are a disaster at the line right now so, only up by 14.

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about their ability to rebound and defend taller or more physical teams. They'll have to try to run those teams out of the gym and make them play small.
At least you guys get another warm up game against NKU before you have to face off against MSU. That should be a good yard stick of a game.

Duke shot 61% from 3 and 70% overall tonight, which quite naturally means they'll shoot 32% for the game against Kansas next week.
Yeah, I worry about the MSU game. I think we're good enough to beat them if we play really well, but I don't know if we're ready.
It was good to see our full team finally out there and healthy tonight, but we've only had one game like that and multiple guys have missed extended periods of practice within the last month and a half. Still not playing as a unit on defense is where that's shown so far I think.
Regression to the mean is a bitch.
If they game is going to be as physical as I think it will, we better do a better job hitting our FTs...

On the one hand, Duke shot over 60% from 3, 70% from the floor, scored at will and had 4 20-point scorers.
On the other hand, they gave up 77 points, got outrebounded by a smaller team, and shot worse from the free throw line (68.8%) than shots in play (70.4).

We gon git killed on the inside, there's no two ways about it. Even Davidson scored down low with ease. It won't bother me too bad if KU does win next Tuesday, sure I'll bitch about it, but games in November don't mean shit in march unless the team is getting better and learning what it can and can't do. I think Duke will outscore most of the competition, but for the teams that can match the offense, they're going to have to get better on defense.

My Arizona Wildcats tipping off against Cal Poly. Thank god the season is finally upon us.
AZ is going to be good this year.
I'm looking forwarding to watching Aaron Gordon. My little brother knows him and played in the same high school league against him out here in California. Great kid.

Thank god basketball is back. I was worried about the sudden, unexpected start of the NFL offseason, but this hit just in the nick of time!
:lol, injury bug is really doing Green Bay dirty this year. Sorry man.

The (original) Champions' Classic was just renewed for three years.
11/18/14: Kansas vs. Kentucky
Duke vs. Michigan State (in Indianapolis)
11/17/15: Kansas vs. Michigan State
Duke vs. Kentucky (Chicago)
11/15/16: Kentucky vs. Michigan State
Duke vs. Kansas (New York City)
Mind you Cal is still trying to get a second "Champions Classic" with UK, UNC, UCLA, and Ohio State

I dunno, KU only beat a borderline DII team by 17 (and even then it was a 12 point game with a few minutes left). We were missing our starting point guard, so I guess that'll be the official excuse. Tuesday should be interesting though.

So at halftime, Arizona's up 37-34 against Cal Poly at home. Definitely not looking like the 6th ranked team in the country, but I have no doubt we'll get there come March.
KU fans know that feel, bro.
On another note, Kansas State is about to lose to Northern Colorado, which I find both hilarious and sad.

These kids in the Kansas-ULM game are trash at free throws.

Final of 73-62, ahmedinejad.jpg.
Lot's of good to take away, lot's of room to improve, we'll get a more definitive take on the team after the games @SDSU, @Michigan, and hopefully Duke in MSG.

I'm late to the thread this year with the move to Community.
Also haven't adjusted to moving from the eastern time zone to pacific yet. Basketball at 4pm is a little rough.
Anyways, subscription established. Carry on.

So that vine of a naked Anthony Davis getting spanked in the locker room at UK is a hot topic right now: https://vine.co/v/hI9zVV2Q6jq
The UofL online fan obsession with saying everyone they hate is gay just got a major shot in the arm.

I saw that vine a few hours ago. I've heard of locker room antics before, but that seems a bit...extreme.
But no shade AD. You do you
Uh...lmfao. What did I just watch.

In other news, Duke football will have a winning season and is probably going to finish no worse than 9-3
Don't let anyone ever tell you Duke's not a football school.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. The wound is too deep.
At least after he drives K-State's program into the ground, the myth of his coaching excellence will be buried as well.

There were 102 free throws attempted in the Seton Hall-Niagara game.
102.
I hope the players and refs get a handle on these new rules quickly or its going to get really ugly.

More offensive is that they combined to only make 64% of them.
Shocker.
