Getting close to game time. Should be a good one. Good luck Texas gaf and prep for the fuckery that is UK fans in here.

Our realistic shot at winning this game went out the window when Isaiah Taylor was listed out for the game. Our PG Felix is way more mistake prone and can't get to the rim as effectively. The spread is 13 points so I'm hoping Texas doesn't get beat by much more than that.

It's an interesting game for me. Kansas could have been a fluke. If we handle Texas as well as them, I might relax and have some confidence in the team.

UK is gonna dog Texas and this game is gonna be boring unless UK decides to show off

 

[Fjordson]

So tired of commentators talking about blue and white platoon stuff. lol We get it.

 

[Bowser]

Just tuned in, these Texas unis are UGLY.

Just tuned in, these Texas unis are UGLY.

Look like something Adidas would put out. Still not as ugly as kentucky's offense though.

 

[cashman]

Game is sloppy as hell so far.

 

[Bowser]

Given the (admittedly early in the season) stature of these two defenses, not surprised it's been an ugly, grind it out game so far.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Are these cats really changing T-shirts every time Cal calls a line shift?

That's corny as fuck

 

[cashman]

Good god Felix sucks.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Good god Felix sucks.

Was that like 3 turnovers in 20 seconds for him? lol

 

[truly101]

I'm not sure who to root for in this game. Obviously Duke and UK fans will always hate each others teams, yet....Rick Barnes hasn't earned the right to beat them...or really anyone of merit.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Felix is a total scrub.

Texas's got to thank their lucky stars that UK can't put the ball in the basket because he's literally giving the game away at the moment.

 

[cashman]

This game is being called way too tight.

 

[cashman]

Free throws are fucking Texas over.

 

[perfectchaos007]

There's too much size on the floor, and both offenses are being suffocated as a result.

The o/u was 123. I'de move it down to 100. First to 50 points wins

 

[Pollux]

We can't hit anything.

 

[Seth C]

We can't hit anything.

Some of it is Texas's size, but some of the point blank misses are just embarrassing.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Lil B is in the UK marching band?

 

[Fjordson]

We looking trashy. All y'all talking about a blowout jinxed us.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

My mans needs to shoot 10000 free throws in practice

 

[Seth C]

He needs to practice FTs with a low ceiling.

We have no energy right now. Booker don't ever fucking do that again...

 

[truly101]

Thats a messy foul but not a flagrant.

 

[cashman]

That's just a common foul

 

[Fjordson]

That looks bad, but not sure that's a flagrant.

Edit: beaten

 

[perfectchaos007]

That was no excessive foul. jeez refs

 

[Pollux]

Indunno, I think it was flagrant.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Refs getting paid by commission tonight.

50 per foul
75 for the flagrant

 

[cashman]

But really it could have been an offensive foul with the arm bar.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Don't give us that flagrant ref

 

[Fjordson]

Ugh. Super long replay for no reason.

 

[truly101]

Bilas gettin salty. Refs waiting for the figures from Slive

 

[perfectchaos007]

Common. Foul. jeez.

w/e

 

[cashman]

What a bullshit call.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Sorry Texas gaf that was a bs call.

 

[Seth C]

Finally they see balls going through the net.

Sorry Texas gaf that was a bs call.

Eh. I wouldn't have called it a flagrant, but the fact that his off arm (that wasn't going for the ball) was specifically what caused KAT to go flying out of control because he had it across his neck, i understand the call.

Besides, these refs? Will make it up in no time.

 

[truly101]

Welp that call did what it needed to do. Don't bring that "Duke gets all the calls" shit in this thread again.

 

[perfectchaos007]

well that was a game changing 30 seconds.

 

[Fjordson]

Welp that call did what it needed to do. Don't bring that "Duke gets all the calls" shit in this thread again.

Every single sports team on Earth gets help from the refs at some point. Anyone who suggests a special amount for anyone (including Duke) needs to take off their tinfoil hat.

Up till that call the way this game has been called wasn't helping us at all, absolutely no rhythm. That's goal one on the opposing team gameplan against us, make the game ugly.

Remember UT was in the bonus well before UK got there.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

agreed, and every team in the world has been on both ends. Some still push the propaganda.

 

[Fjordson]

Also, the only reason the call stood is because a flagrant can't be rescinded. Not that surprising they called it initially given how bad it looked.

Which is a garbage rule. Can't downgrade to a common foul because....reasons.

It is just fun to hate on Duke. I look forward to that new 30 for 30 about everyone hating Christian Laetnner.

 

[Seth C]

That call wasn't about favoring anyone but the refs. This game has been all about them from the start, the way any crew with Doug Shows always is.

 

[perfectchaos007]

RIPlatoons?

 

[Pollux]

These xalls are bullshit

I remember seeing one that was NCSU vs VT I think years ago. NCSU had a flagrant called against them (upon replay the state player never touched the VT players body at all he came in too fast and at a bad angle and spilled out under the basket). They lost a 6 pt lead and lost by 4.

What if I told you 2.1 seconds would haunt a state for 20+ years?

It should be a good documentary.
