That game got out of hand and the refs put in some work to muck it up, but holy fuck am I excited for this season. These boys can play.

I'm telling myself that this was just a case of a freshman loaded team versus a better freshman loaded team, and that results will be different when playing teams with more experience on hand.
I don't know if I believe it, but that's the story I'm sticking with
Duke was hot from 3 early, Kentucky started cold from the floor, then the refs really got on a roll and everyone was getting fouls and Bilas was throwing out the dreaded early season phrase "point of emphasis" to justify some touchy calls. I'm not saying the whole game was a fluke, but it definitely snowballed on Kentucky and Duke was well equipped to roll thru the crap that mucked things up (oh Zion in foul trouble? Yeah I guess we'll lean on RJ Barrett for a few minutes). I'm not sure we're that good from 3 and I'll be curious to see what happens if somebody with length throws a good zone at us.
Virginia also remains the team to beat in the ACC. They've seen this lottery pick shit from us before and they don't care.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Duke against Virginia now
Yeah, Zion's injury is a big factor, but fuck did we play like shit tonight. Turnovers galore, a TON of defensive lapses, and continued 3-pt chucking even when it wasn't working. So incredibly frustrating.

I'm really not sure why K didn't try to pull the Louisville Special on us. We only really have the two ball handlers, and one of them is a freshman. Pressing into a zone couldn't have hurt

It feels so good
God, I hope this is finally his coming out party. Kid's been working for years now, and to see him light it up in the first half just feels so good
Time for Kentucky to step up.
and turnovers...
It's far and away a better experience than listening to Bill Walton
I hope bettors went with the over, 209 points total scored tonight

(I...will not be surprised if they win tonight, but still, you always expect the evil empire to win)
Fuck.
Dook.
