MBB: Duke vs. Kentucky (11/12, 9pm ET, ESPN) Pregame and In-Game Thread

This is kind of a fun game to watch in that Duke is shooting poorly and playing great. That's a mature thing for a team. Don't let the missed shots affect everything else.

James has been really good tonight. Not a ton of points but he's played really well on both ends

3-18 from 3......yikes

I hate complaining about fouls, but it looked like we had 2 guys go down while refs were swallowing whistles. Maluach looked like he was shoved in the back & Sion was picked off on a moving screen…

Next play!

Yes. But man I love a game where you have to figure it out when the shots aren't falling. Got to figure out a way to grind it out. This is such a great game for Duke to play in

Maluach is cramping.....not sure why that keeps happening to our guys.

Cramp or something strained tightening up?

Khaman. Whatever it is is musculature bc he's got the gun on it.

Jay assured us it was just a “hard screen.”

I’m behind but kon just got hammered and no call. It’s like the the refs just said screw it we’re done calling anything.

I didn't think it was an illegal screen actually. But I wouldn't have been upset if they called it.

 

[dukelion]

urrrggh....not our shooting night

 

[J4Kop99]

Have to stay composed. Keep taking good shots in offense. They will fall.

 

[ClemmonsDevil]

This is a "will" game for Duke tonight. Not playing your best and leading or tied late.

 

[J4Kop99]

My only other thought is Duke came out and exerted TOO MUCH energy early. Otherwise I can’t explain what’s going on here.

Looks like they lost their legs

They definitely are shooting like they've got tired legs.

That’s off Flagg. Kentucky out working Duke here. Not much else to it

 

[J4Kop99]

Flagg scored to put Duke up 61-53 I believe. Been tough sledding since

 

[ClemmonsDevil]

Man this is so much fun!

 

[J4Kop99]

Dukes late game offensive struggles have carried over from last year. Unbelievable. Inexcusable.
