Three headed monster. Ulis. Murray. Briscoe. Those guys are stone cold killers. I like my team.

Guards win in March (April). boner soup
Really wasn't even close
Ulis is struggling this year...
My god, he basically pitched a perfect game, even with his 3pt having completely left him. Kid is just incredible.
THAT is what I want him to see, looking to score some. It's amazing how easy he can finish amongst the trees at his size, he can score pretty much whenever he wants.

Welp. All in all not a bad day for UK basketball.
I think K knew they were in trouble. He barely moved from his seat the whole game.
You know. In this day and age of our high expectations, it's rare for our boys to pleasantly surprise us. Waxing Duke by double digits on a neutral court sure feels damn satisfying.
Ulis's ability to stop from a dead sprint with the ball, never lose control, and dribble out of the trap is so damn smooth. And like bbdk said, he can flop shot in the lane with the best of them and needs to keep doing it. Auto from there; don't care if Davis is challenging him, it's going in
Ulis played the entire game and didn't look tired. Maybe he learned the Kung fu heart rate from Murray.
I don't see many teams being able to stay in front of us, if any. Just too many options at guard.
When the bigs learn to block out.....sheeeeeeeit. Ova.

That behind the back move that Murray did to split those 2 defenders late in the game with the lob to Poy was absolutely sick.
What we did good, we did really good
What we did bad, we can easily fix...

Ulis can get his shot off because he's probably been the smallest guy on the court for a decade. Remember that old pic of him with Drew? You learn fast what to do to not get your **** pitched every possession.
Surprised, really. Thought we could win, thought Duke could too. That was just a business like, methodical dismantling of a very good team. And call me crazy but I think there's a better than decent shot that Skal improves a little bit between now and March.
I think we are going to be good in basketball this year.

YEAH DIS DUDE
Love the attitude this team has. There's a twinge of nasty there, particularly with Murray and Briscoe.
Floor seats for my first UK-Duke game in 17 years... :sunglasses:

WHOOOOOO DA F*** IS THAT?
Didn't think we had that type of d in us.
Duke is really flawed. No PG, no inside O.
All 3 guards were amazing. Briscoe are Allen up. Grayson... lol.
I was ok with Poythress for his first real game back. Lee was awesome.

Had a friend get his two front teeth caught in the net (on a lowered goal) and he dangled there for a second before he fell, sans teeth. So, good thing Poythress didn't have that happen
Thornton is gonna be a good one...
Duke will be a contender, great win. They'll murk many teams this year...b/c they won't see that kind of defense.
Damn that was impressive.

Duke has a PG. His name is Thornton. He'll be running that show by March and Grayson Allen will be about the fourth or fifth option for them.
K just needs to give Thornton the reigns and take his lumps.
He's got a ways to go. Same with Ingram. Honestly if Doookkie doesn'tget those 9 put backs we run away.
Thing is we as much room to grow as anyone. Sheesh.

What a wonderful surprise. Thought we'd win, but didn't think it would look so easy in the process.
*ulis, tho. Shew.
*really nice to see Duke not flop *too* much and control the game through it.
Opinions on if that's because the refs didn't call it early and they jumped ship on it or if K is moving away from that?
Thoughts?
*I didn't really breathe easy until about 1:30 2H, but still. Lots of fun and a great distraction tonight.
*Walked the dog today after a late lunch and he didn't make it home. Coughed a couple times, got a little stiff, lay down and went to sleep. My guess is a massive MI or PE. For the first time I can remember, I literally had no idea what to do. My daughter was home sick today and I left her home to walk him. Didn't take my phone, so couldn't reach my neighbor to check on her. Knocked on two doors and finally borrowed a wheelbarrow from a construction crew doing an addition on a house. Got him home, wrapped him in his sheet, and got him to the vet.
Two in two months. :-(

* I loved the disrespect with which we guarded Duke. It's awfully easy to guard pick & roll stuff when the guy setting the pick isn't a threat to score, so we were able to give extra help to their perimeter dudes.
* And the by-product of that: 9 assists for Duke vs. 16 turnovers. Conversely, we had 15 assists and 9 turnovers because our guards were completely unfazed.
* Echo anybody who liked Thornton. They need to make that switch in a hurry if they are to hit their potential. Our guys made Grayson Allen look like...how most teams made Grayson Allen look last year.
* Duke needs a stretch 4 to run their stuff ideally. I guess that could be Ingram, but that's about 20 pounds away from happening. We took that dude totally out of the game.
* Marcus Lee played great. 22 doesn't quite have the lift with the ball in his hands that he ought to, but he still played his balls off. And he bit the net. !!!
* You other college basketballs can talk a lot prettier about our guards than I can, so go ahead. I can't right now. They're amazing. Guarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrds.
* Pretty surprised Duke didn't go with more zone. They probably stink at it in November since it's rarely in their gameplan, and then also when Duke did go zone, our fellas carved it like a Butterball turkey and either scored or got fouled every time. So maybe it shouldn't be as surprising that Duke didn't zone more. Kept waiting for that 1-3-1 that Seth Greenberg was talking about, but I don't think it ever surfaced.
* Of course, it could also have something to do with so many of our buckets coming with numbers. They did a great job of forcing live ball turnovers. This might be the best team we've had at that one specific thing since Pitino was here. And when we didn't turn them over and got defensive boards, it was rip and run. Love how Murray leaks back when he senses the defensive rebound. He's going to get so many layups doing that.
* We're good. Can't wait for my boy UK Basketball Live to archive that sucker. I'm watching it 4-5 more times this week.
