Playstation basketball

 

[megablue]

To see mine, I need advanced technology

Get you some Big Blue Chew !!!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

These f$@@ing refs should never darken the doorsteps at Rupp ever again. Absolutely criminal

Ridiculous

Ridiculous

I sooooo want an FBI investigation into CBB officiating.

GoGo Gadget!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Hawthorne is going to be special

 

[jeffky]

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Hawthorne !!!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Keep shooting MOM!

 

[bbnkat02]

Yeah....screw these punks hitting everything they throw up now.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

“Too little too late for the Jaspers” Dude they’re down 30. Kind of a weird statement

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I sooooo want an FBI investigation into CBB officiating.

Same but it will never happen. Sweep it under the rug so those in the know get rich, the casinos make bank, the leagues avoid scrutiny.

 

[bbnkat02]

0-6
Not great.

Not going to cover at this rate.

 

[gbl97]

People who bet that 31 pt spread are freaking out.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Hawthorne is going to be special

He needs to stop jacking up threes. It’s not his night from deep

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

This was fine.........job done lol. Onto the next one.

 

[Colts240]

And somehow they will not cover the spread

 

[bbnkat02]

Dark Pope could be brewing.

 

[bbnkat02]

Thought it was 34.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Dusan shooting rainbow junk hitting everything. Hawthorne fixing now. His 3 ball needs work.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Good. Don't bet lol.

 

[bbnkat02]

Flopping little aholes......and the refs have called everyone.

 

[Colts240]

Still only 5 fouls on manhattan

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Drive the ball. Forcing 3’s from guys who shouldn’t shoot the kind of 3’s they are taking.

 

[ala_kat2]

N’Diaye had a sub-par game. We need better from him, and I believe we will get it.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

James Madison should be about a 20 point win.

Then onto KU

 

[UKCowboys]

Just calling the game like we see it. You can’t act like we don’t start games terribly so many times under Pope. Of course we smashed this team, if we didn’t we would have even bigger issues. We just can’t play like that time and time again.

Rest my case

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

N’Diaye had a sub-par game. We need better from him, and I believe we will get it.

His shooting has been horrendous through 4 games.

 

[entropy13]

Faaaaaaarrrrrrrrr Pope!

NIT is our destiny with this team.

 

[bbnkat02]

Didn't cover.
Short of 14 3's.

Good win and played well.

Refs can suck it.

Final From Rupp
Jaspers- 57
Cats- 85

 

[bbnkat02]

lol....Toweling Milan so he can't talk.

 

[Anon1751335390]

His shooting has been horrendous through 4 games.

I haven't seen anything to make me believe he can make 30% of his 3's.

He is agile though. He seems to be a decent defender thanks to that mobility.

We will see how it shakes out through the season. Right now, there is a gaping hole at the 4 position. If N'Diaye is going to chuck and miss so much, I don't know if we can get more from Kam Williams or Hawthorne at the 4. Maybe we go big and play some Franck/Moreno. Going all in on Mitchell and losing out is a kick to the balls if N'Diaye doesn't develop.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Zyon Hawthorne logged 5 minutes tonight and Reece logged 6. Could be telling from Pope to prefer to not take a chance on player health and willing to sacrifice some in the efficiency metrics for it.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

He thinks he's a Milan type shooter for some reason. Wish he would focus on other things.

 

[HolySmokes]

I think Franck heard you, but did you mean one dribble and monster dunk?

That was my favorite player. I was imagining what Pope said in the timeout to make Frank come back in the game and start dominating lol. Nice dunk Frank. I was just getting ready to make fun of him then he went Mutamba

 

[Anon1751335390]

Moreno also logged only 21 minutes. Lots of minutes for Franck and Potter.

 

[entropy13]

My somewhat overly negative takes.

Doom Ziallo didn't show much against a crap opponent. 2 assists to 4 turnovers. Ugly.

So, we essentially have two serviceable guards for the season.

Current form N'diaye will be a non-factor against decent opponents. Potential hasn't shown yet. Will it ever? I have doubts.

Why is McBride on scholarship? Big whiff on evaluation, and to think we thought he'd be an important piece when he signed.

We have four players who are above average to excellent power conference players: Momcilovic, Moreno, Williams, and Wilkins. Very little quality depth.

Unfortunately, you need five quality starters who rate good to excellent along with 2-3 top notch depth pieces to be a contender.

This UK team is not. We'll be a bubble team and finish mid-table in the $EC.

Somewhat? Damn sounds like the season is already over for you.
