Showing why Mal is the starting center and not Brown.game completely flipped when he went out.
It’s called got to hit open shots . Most of Dukes three’s have been open with no result .
Jon, you put this young man in a bad situation. Coaching mistake. Proctor or Foster should've had the ball. This can rattle the chemistry.
Got to hit shots . If the perimeter is not hitting then you clog the lane . The last two iso plays for flag could have been way better.
I have to disagree. Cooper has carried them the whole second half. Put the ball in the hands of your best player.
Live by the 3. Die by the 3. Another year of chunking up 3s all game instead of going inside. *sighs* Whatever.
Seen this before...relying on young talent to win tight games without direction. We need a team, not just great talent.
I hear you, but not now. Even though he's the best player, he does not have the experience. Proctor or Caleb can get him the ball at the elbow, not bring the ball up the court. Those two plays were not fair to Cooper.
Duke missed tons of shots. Yes, it's early, but they got outplayed physically. The deficits were exposed. This was not Army or Maine. They will see more teams like UK.
Really disappointing lose on many levels. Caleb Foster was really bad tonight.
We led in the paint . Bit of you can’t hit Three’s then is it not ideal to take away how your scoring and make them take jump shots ? I mean the last three years we continue to hear how we have shooters and it’s always hit or miss . Foster missed two back to back wide open three’s. You got to be more than one romantic offensively.
The game changed when Mal went out. Losing Sion to injury didn't help either. I thought he brought another level with his defense. Our backcourt didn't perform well in the second half. Foster missed several open shots. Proctor disappeared after playing so well in the 1st half.
Then we couldn't hit 3s, they hit a bunch of 3s, we couldn't score late, and we turned the ball over in critical times. So we lost. Our youth showed tonight at the worst times. I'm pissed. But I think we will learn a lot from this game. Championships aren't won or lost in November.

The sky ain’t falling. I’d rather lose this game and improve throughout the season than to peak in January. I’m still disappointed on Jon’s play calling after timeouts. I blame Jay Williams for his halftime critic.
Yes very disappointing performance by the team especially the second half. They got out scored 14 points and Duke scored only 26 for the half. Duke was supposed to be the defensive team. Back to work they go, one less quad 1 win though and even less chances to pick any up. Arizona, Kansas, Auburn and Illinois games are must win now or looking at another 3/4/5 seed
Sometimes an early loss can be good. We won't beat a good team shooting that poorly and we need another guy over 6-8. We need to get Pat up to speed and in the rotation. Seems like when we get an early lead and the other team roars back it doesn't end well for us.
Dont see much change in how JS is going about building a team. Seems very familiar on offense, more about talent and ISO vs posting up, or driving the ball to create space or a called play...we lose our rebounding when Maluach goes out even though we are a big team. Sooo looking forward to the rinse and repeat of the last few years or more...would love to be wrong but this just looks too familiar
Foster and Proctor with another one of their classic no-shows in the 2nd half…
Scheyer totally outcoached again…was there even an offensive gameplan??

I don’t know about the physical statement . Duke simply was pretty much one dimensional offensively tonight causing UK to adjust very easily .
