Couple scurvy lookin teams here.

Keion is getting cooked

Keion always gets cooked. He is not good at basketball.

Man thank you Kansas for making the champions classic watchable. Duke and UK , not sure if it’s a defensive battle, or both teams don’t know how to play.

 

[Random UK Fan]

I called Kentucky fans progressive, that's obviously a joke. Why so defensive?

Why are you so defensive about being defensive?

Lol if you thought that game was watchable.

The best defense is a good defense.

 

[tw3301]

Bad call on that foul, in real time it looked like he held keels but the replay showed it was bullshit. Baker still can't make a basket.

 

[Random UK Fan]

Anybody know what the foul shot differential is?

 

[JimboBBN]

Good game so far.

 

[Big_C_KU]

You can definitely see the raw athleticism and talent with these 2 teams. Banchero fun to watch.

 

[coryfly]

Both teams should probably feel decent tbh. Duke up at the half despise shooting awful from deep and UK only down 4 despite a massive deficit at the FT line.

 

[JimboBBN]

Anybody know what the foul shot differential is?

It’s going how everyone imagined it would. 13 to 8

 

[toonces11]

Geezis Christ. Is this AAU?

 

[tw3301]

Team that drives and scores inside vs a shooting team. You guys are making a lot of threes to stay in it.

He’s a problem for us. We don’t have anyone that can guard him. Not even close.

 

[KUhawks34]

Really impressed with the Jayhawks tonight. Our guard play will be the difference for this team. Our offense could end up being legit.

Duke and UK are athletic. Don’t see a lot of elite scorers. Impressed with Wheeler. He’s salty.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Lol if you thought that game was watchable.

Was definitely watchable for me. 🤷‍♂️

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Only reason UK is still in it is because of Oscar's offensive rebounding and because they are 6-11 from 3. Otherwise it would already be a blowout.

 

[WojoRising]

Disappointing the refs couldn’t dig deep and get Tshiebwe a technical or something while he was on the bench.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Anybody know what the foul shot differential is?

The box score says 17-4, lol.

We still have 20 minutes. 😎

Nothing suspect about that. At. All.

 

[kycats4384]

I’m ****ed up in St. Martin. Despite that, seems like a couple really good basketball teams. Good game thusfar.

 

[GhostOf301]

No

Nothing suspect about that. At. All.

Agreed

 

[Kevin Bryan]

UK with 5 players that already have 2 fouls. 😬

 

[Perpetual Burn555]

Kentucky doing good to hang in there... seems like Duke is always on the verge of pulling away. Especially in the last couple minutes there... but Kentucky made that last 3 to keep it close.

That Tshiebwe is crazy with the offensive rebounds... 7 of his 8 rebounds!

Good clean game so far.

 

[GhostOf301]

Further proof that Kentucky is a dirty program.

He reminds me a bit of D Rodman. Not much of a scorer, but great on the boards.

Wonder what size dress he wears hah!

...

LOL at Bilas complaining about the Committee leaving Cincinnati out of the top 4!

Always getting caught with the hand in the cookie jar.

 

[Random UK Fan]

This is one of the few teams I really can't identify the smarmy player on Dukes team. I like this team.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

He reminds me a bit of D Rodman.

He likes to party? Hell yeah

 

[Random UK Fan]

UK has some work to do on our interior defense, and just needs more time together. We look like we don’t have a plan sometimes.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

2 early 2nd half fouls coming on Oscar.

 

[GhostOf301]

Both teams have pretty basic things to improve. Should be a fun game to the end.

 

[coryfly]

Entertaining start to the second.

Banchero is very good.

 

[GhostOf301]

I love the confidence from Wendell.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

No defense whatsoever this half.

 

[Random UK Fan]

We’re definitely not a layup team.
