***DUKE VS KANSAS OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD**

[Kobe #1]

Let's go boys, it has to start on the defensive end

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Azibuiki (sp) is determined to get Amile out of this game.

Yeah you can tell that he's going after Amile hard but Amile has been playing smart on defense

 

[K-oach Q]

you can't make a run in a game like this..to many whistles

 

[Jnood]

Guuuuhhh

 

[NYBlueDevil]

This has been an incredibly tough game to watch for so many reasons

 

[skysdad]

16 turn overs. It's getting close to close out time. If we are going to win we need to make a run right now. Kansas is hitting their crunch time free throws also. OFC

 

[Dad2ze]

Are these the refs from the Duke/Miami Football game last year???

 

[dbav]

Come on fellas, keep working.

 

[Jnood]

Kennard is a horrid defender!

 

[dbav]

Nice pass by Jones for the reverse. Let's go guys.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Lord help us. Refs have gotten more air time tonight than the players.

 

[Dukesince90]

If I played in today's game, I would foul out in 2 minutes.

 

[Showenuff]

Think of it this way, you just throw in Giles or Tatum and we win this game, for sure.

 

[Kobe #1]

KU will win the big 12 and many good games.....and we are not getting run out of the gym. Duke has not played well and missing a lot of weapons, IT WILL BE OK SOON!

 

[crazyduke3]

Only thing is yet again no Javin. Why??

 

[dukiejay]

Kennard is a horrid defender!

Please. Frank Mason is one of the quickest players in the nation. You spread the court like Kansas did there and just let him go. Luke isn't built to guard players like that.

 

[TRU CANE]

Can't stop them from driving smh

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Because we didn't steal minutes from our bench, in a muddled up mess of a first half, we can't play aggressive D at winning time. We're within striking distance, but gonna take Kansas to make a few big mistakes here

 

[Neners]

In a game with this many whistles on both sides, it's not about the players. It's just not. I'm not even mad. Let's just close this out in fighting style and wait for the FF rematch

 

[Mpm277]

That's a crappy call for Jackson to foul out on.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Can't Fing buy a bucket in the paint. That's GOTTA get better

 

[dbav]

Down to 6, keep fighting fellas !

 

[Dukesince90]

Might want to sub some fresh bodies in for fouls.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Couldn't capitalize on the big defensive play of Grayson.

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

Because we didn't steal minutes from our bench, in a muddled up mess of a first half, we can't play aggressive D at winning time. We're within striking distance, but gonna take Kansas to make a few big mistakes here

That doesn't have anything to do with it, IMO. We just couldn't score for long stretches. That was the key.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Oh snap!

 

[Dukesince90]

Here comes DUKE!

 

[dbav]

KEEP FIGHTING FELLAS !

 

[Kobe #1]

They didn't quit! Love the heart

 

[Jnood]

Wow!!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hell yeah! Chance for a 4 point play! This thing is not over!

OFC

 

[Jnood]

Yes, jay. It would of been whistled.

 

[dukiejay]

Frank Mason is so good. He's a fun player to watch.

 

[Dad2ze]

Good grief...48 fouls between both teams so far. Ridiculous!!!!

 

[Dukesince90]

Love the fight!

 

[K-oach Q]

Man I'm longing for the day to see a full Duke squad on the floor..tired of someone being hurt...

 

[Showenuff]

I ain't mad. Great game with 3 starters out. FTW !

 

[dbav]

We're taking it to a full strength Kansas team without 2 of our top 3 players. Keep fighting.

 

[TRU CANE]

hopefully Bolden and Giles can make it more difficult for driving guards because I don't see who this Duke team has that can defend it on the perimeter

 

[Neners]

Love the fight!

This! And we'll grow from this game regardless. Some guys got to bang it out that wouldn't have gotten this experience if we had a full roster.
