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.

UK only up 10 on UNC Asheville. Playing okay, but we're 17 for 31 from the free throw line. Ugly.

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.

UK pulled away in the second half, looked much better. Andrew Harrison is legit. And WCS looks surprisingly great.

Still need to shore up our defense and our free throw shooting needs a lot of work, but not a bad game overall.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 saw that vine a few hours ago. I've heard of locker room antics before, but that seems a bit...extreme.

At least after he drives K-State's program into the ground, the myth of his coaching excellence will be buried as well.

We are glassing NKU to death today. Out rebounding them 29 to 12 at the half.

More important is there are only 13 total fouls at the half. Turns out you can play basketball without hand checking on every possession.
