Adios Duke. Flopping, complaining and the mirror image of their punk coach.
Tennessee was just more physical and mature.

Bad shooting all around. What's the final score? 59 to 46?

I felt like Arkansas was meh all year. Obviously want Arkansas to win, but Kansas is a lot better.

To those that want to relent in their disdain for dook, just don't. An minimum it's bad for mojo. If nothing else hate them for their dorky fans and press bias.

Geez I hate Duke and the media love affair. Turned this game on and it’s all Duke this and Duke that and how they are on a 10 game winning streak. Not hard to do in what was a mid major conference this year. Kind of like Iona winning 14 streak
I know we have not played Duke in a while but my disdain for Duke does back to the Dream Season. Yes many moons ago but still going strong.

To be fair they were much better before their best player got injured for the season. Even then Nick Smith wasn't playing, so they never had their full team. Add in a bunch of freshman and new transfers makes it very difficult to cohere.

Harris with an ankle injury. Probably the guy they can least afford to lose other than Wilson. Pettiford will need to step up with Yesufu (who is lightning quick).

If Kansas was shooting at a normal clip, they'd blow out Arkansas, and it's not ARK's defense that's making them shoot like that

Both teams are a combined 2-15 from 3. Oooooooooffffff!!!

These are open looks.

Kansas is a fine inside. And if UConn gets by SM, I'd be really worried about stopping them down low.

But I know they shoot better than this

Really? Their starting center is 6'-7". I thought that was their weakness. Sanogo and Clingan should eat their lunch.

Very impressed with Princeton. Dictating the tempo of the game again. Let’s see if the Mizzou coach can make some in-game adjustments to leverage their physical advantages.

He’s 6’7 but strong and is as good a leaper as Andre is. KU would probably struggle with our centers, but both our centers would struggle to guard Adams. They might need Udeh to play more minutes than usual.

But the issue is Alex handling Wilson, Andre on Dick and Hawk on McCullers. All those guys attack the rim, and KU is bigger at each position.

That's not the point. All of their points came from driving inside in the 1st half. Over the season, that has been our weakness on D

I’m tired of hearing how physical this game is. All of our Big East games are more physical and it isn’t even what we want.

This is Duke basketball:

Both Kansas centers with 4 fouls and Arkansas is taking advantage. Ejiofor is really raw. Hasn’t played much.
