Amen, and Amen.
-
No foul.
-
When Tech had an 8 point lead and then turned it into a 5 point lead, the foul count in that sequence was 6-2 in you know who’s favor.
-
Charge
-
Retire Dukie V
-
Zion might still be in the game if they had called a foul on the previous Tech possession when they shot in the lane.
-
@wissox nice observation
-
both of the announcers screamed …YES …when reddish made that 3. freaking homers…
-
Dukie V: “wow” <dejectedly> when they call a foul on Dukie for the charge. “That’s a big plus for your defense”. Duh…it’s the rules or do they not apply to your dream team?
-
Tech gave them a good run, but they just don’t have enough offensive options to challenge a good team. Their ball handling was terrible.
-
Tech is going to give KU a lot of trouble this year. They are one of the best defensive teams I’ve see all season.
-
No foul there reaching across the body. Damn.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Speaking of trouble…
-
KU Women win Again last game before Christmas break - -win both games in Vegas - - wing 66-57 0ver Northwestern tonight - -now 9-1 on the year. - -way to go ladies. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Down the stretch Tech couldnt come close to finding a basket. That was unfortunate. I thought they had Duke on the ropes when they broke it open start of second half. Zion Williamson reminds me of a cross between Wiggins and Doke. He has Wiggins’ completely useless whirling dirvish spin move with Doke’s body.
-
@jayballer73 This is a good group of players. This a deep team with lots of seniors. Constant substitution keeps them fresh, out of foul trouble with zero sign of less focus or design. Great job by Coach Schneider.
-
Tech could be our biggest competition in the B12 again this season. They guard as well as anyone in the country but they will struggle to score at times as they did down the stretch last night vs Dook.
-
@kjayhawks yep. I only started watching at the last six minutes, but Tech couldn’t do anything when Duke started actually playing defense. That and when they hit a few threes. You could just tell the game was over.
-
It now appears that Tech will be our biggest threat…especially with Wade out for awhile. Beard has done a heck of a job down there.
-
Oklahoma playing at Northwestern. I’d be there but I couldn’t find anyone to go there with me. Been watching Marquette/Buffalo. Buffalo is looking really good.
-
Two more unbeatens go down tonight.
-
The Marquette win continues to look good.
-
Markus Howard scored 40 points in the 2nd half. Mercy

Doing really well - - now we have just got to transition through to Big 12 play- - have a chance to have a solid season this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Markus Howard can win POY with games like that. 24 straight points at one point. Unconscious last night. Oh wait Zion can dunk, sorry Markus try again next yr

I was able to watch the entire game. Really good game , Tech Is real , we better be ready to lace them up. - -Defensively they do really good at tking the charge - -not just one guy , but seems like the entire team takes a charge really well - -get’s really good position.
Funny thing kind of took a little Duke turn when what a surprise the ref’s made a couple of ridiculous calls. - -One was so blatent - with about 16 minutes to go - -Duke had made a couple of baskets stating to work their way back - -Tech point guard little past half court and the Jones kid for duke takes the ball away and of Course Vitale trying to see if he could possibly bury his nose even further up Duke’s ass yelling and babbling- about with his typical - -OHHHHH - - OHHHH - - OHHHH what great defense BABY. anyways he takes the ball and scores.
Thing is great defense? - -on that play the refs had to stop the game for a minute afterwards cause the Tech point guard had to leave the game and get his face tended to - cause he was bleeding - -but yet that was Great defense - -no contact? - -clean steal? - -ya OK the Tech guard just hit himself in the face right? - -just one of some questionable calls in the 2nd half
-
Dang @wissox The OU Northwestern game went into overtime. Could’ve been a fun time. I’d join you, but I’m not driving 13 hours to watch OU play!
-
That Marquette win is going to look really good come March. I gotta think they are the favorite to win the Big East.
Also Texas loses at home to Providence. Yikes. How in the world did they beat UNC.
I think the Big 12 is a 4-5 bid league this year. Have to wait and see what KSU is without Wade and how long he is out.
-
Baylor holds on to beat Oregon after taking a 16 point lead and Oregon missing 14 of its first 15 shots and not havinmg Bol Bol available. Baylor is averaging 60 PPG but barely over 60 PPG in its last 5 games. Texas loses to Providence at home and while it has some good wins against UNC and Purdue, it also has some pretty bad losses against Radford and VCU; Shaka’s seat is getting hotter.
-
@dylans My wife and daughter (newly arrived from college) were watching some xmas movie chick flick so I couldn’t even watch on TV! I was pretty tired after a long work week that I didn’t have the energy to go up there by myself.
-
@Woodrow Bracketology had the league with 7 bids. BIG had 10 bids actually which means every team in the league gets a bid I guess.

Big 10 has 14 teams so 10 teams is abut 71% compared to 7 teams from the Big 12 or 70%…pretty much even.
-
Kansas, Tech, Iowa St, Kansas St, and Oklahoma seem likely to be in.
Oklahoma St probably not.
West Virginia, TCU, Texas, and Baylor have a chance.
I think the Big 12 gets 6 or 7 in.
-
Last time I checked, the combined number of teams in the ACC/B10 that are in the Top 25 was like 12 out of the total 25. Pretty dominant, at least in sheer numbers. Of course, when they get to the meat of conference, they’ll beat each other up, so that number could fall.
-
Hoping Carolina runs Kentucky out of the gym today so they fall out of the Top 25.
-
I have a little more free time close to Christmas so I decided to look up the Big XII’s record against other conferences. This is what I got, I may have missed one or two:
ACC: (3-1)
Texas Tech < Duke
West Virginia > Pittsburgh
Texas > North Carolina
Oklahoma > Notre Dame
Big 10: (5-5)
Kansas > Michigan St.
Oklahoma < Wisconsin
Oklahoma > Northwestern
Texas Tech > Nebraska
Iowa St. < Iowa
Iowa St. > Illinois
Texas < Michigan St.
Texas > Purdue
Oklahoma St. < Minnesota
Oklahoma St. < Nebraska
Big East: (3-3)
Kansas > Marquette
Kansas > Nova
KState < Marquette
Texas < Providence
Oklahoma St. < Nova
Oklahoma > Creighton
SEC: (6-2)
Kansas > Tennessee
Oklahoma > Florida
Iowa St. > Mizzou
KState > Mizzou
Baylor < Ole Miss
Texas > Arkansas
West Virginia < Florida
Oklahoma St. > LSU
Pac 12: (6-1)
Kansas > Stanford
Oklahoma > USC
Texas Tech > USC
TCU > USC
Iowa St. < Arizona
Baylor > Arizona
Baylor > Oregon
Overall: (23-12)
-
Villanova making the Jayhawks look good and Dan Hurley look bad today. Perfect.
-
Tucky vs. the Tarholes. Tucky is beating them so far by the quickness of their guards. White of UNC is very quick too, but the rest of the 'Holes are slowwww. Luke Maye will probably end up in the same rec league as Charlie Moore. Luke is definitely a Roy’s system made man.

Maye has definitely regressed this year. Not sure whether defenses are really keying on him or last year was just a mirage. UNC just looks disinterested tonight.
-
@FarmerJayhawk UNC’s interior defense is dog meat. They’re soft as a baby’s butt inside.

Tonight they certainly have been. That and iffy guard play has been a bad combo. Also lol at Raftery always calling Reid Travis, Travis Reid.
-
Also Tyler Herro has an extremely punchable face.
-
UNC is overated. It has one good win over Gonzaga and bad losses to Texas, Michigan and Kentucky. Sagarin and a Pomeroy will have trouble justifying having them as #5 and #6 with 3 loses.
The team I still don’t get is Virginia which is ranked in the top 5 by most everybody even when they have one of the softest schedule in Division I and their only decent win was over an average Wisconsin team and today, they beat up that powerhouse William & Mary. Maybe they will get a #1 seed again and make double history by losing to a #16 seed…again.
-
KSU 30-20 over Vanderbilt at the half.
-
Anyone remember KU recruiting Shakur Juiston who ended up at UNLV? He might have fit in well with all the injuries KU. He averages a double-double for UNLV this year and last. He’s out know with a leg injury, maybe for the rest of the year.
-
@Gorilla72 oh no! Hard life for him. I really wanted him.
-
Does anyone know what happened to Bol Bol? I noticed he hasn’t played in a while and just saw where he is out indefinitely, but never have seen what happened to him…
