BB: Kansas opens as 5.5 point favorites

[MidseasonTweak]

Milan will have to hit near 5-6 3s for us to stay competitive. Oozie brings next to nothing currently, Zoom while improving, still isn't there yet, Wilkins still brings a little too much boom or bust, Moreno just isn't physical - I worry about his match-up.

Tomorrow could be a sobering check on our ceiling for the year.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Hope we win. But I don’t think we will. If we lose by double digits I won’t be surprised at all.

 

[Resignmarkpope]

Kansas covers easy

 

[Resignmarkpope]

U serious Clark?

We get down double digits to power 4 teams a ton under pope. We sometimes come back to win but just saying.

Didn’t zags beat mark pope by 50?

 

[peterpiper09]

Kansas covers easy

LOL
Moron !!!

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Kansas is the first real measuring stick game, then we have Indiana, Virginia, Louisville & North Carolina on deck. So we'll know soon where this team is at and their potential.

 

[Resignmarkpope]

I want big Frank to meet Stokes at the rim

Frank isn’t good! Hope he stays on the bench.

[Drcatfan]

I believe either Stokes or Momcilivic will go off for a big night. The story is going to be KU's top recruit or UK's top transfer. The other story line could be Moreno vs Kaufmanrenn. I really hope Moreno can bring some energy and hold his own in that matchup.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Did you watch the game?

I watched the second half.

 

[BBUK]

P_SS on ku.........................

 

[Beatle Bum]

But they evidently suck. Lol

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Kansas to #15, we fall one to #24

 

[BGCATFAN83]

Not very confident in our big game success. Won't be surprised if we loss by 10.

 

[senonesy]

Yep. They do. I've hit my 40s finally. I paid my dues. Not gonna do it anymore. It's just not worth it the next day.

You can’t stay up until until Midnight and you’re only in your 40’s? Old head!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I love when ppl say things like oh KU is unimpressive.

They won their games by 30 and 44. These weren't against 300th ranked teams either but rather teams ranked per Kenpom 116th and 183rd respectfully.

We beat James Madison......at home.......by 9.

Granted none of this actually matters on Tuesday. We very well could win...........but all the more reason to NOT diminish how good KU is and how much of a big win that would be to kick off a season.

 

[megablue]

Does Diallo take Kinney to the rack ???
Can Kinney hound Diallo enough to prevent his penetration ??
This will be an interesting match-up !!!

 

[JimboBBN]

I’m not confident. I’m not sure how any Kentucky fan could be confident watching us play defense the last couple games.

They played some high-profile exhibitions as well. Losing to Louisville and Duke.

 

[HogCoyote]

I'm hammering the Cats and taking the points. We'll win by 10 or more so +5.5 is a lock

If you're that convinced why would you ever take the +5.5 and not take the ML, the ML would pay way better than the +5.5.

I know why! Anyone who think mark pope is a good coach, has to be a little off. If you catch my drift.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan72]

Looks like Council is out with a broken bone in his foot. That sucks hopefully he recovers quickly

 

[TheResistance]

 

[TheResistance]

 

[BlueBloodKyFan72]

We’re only 2 games in see how he does against better competition

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Kansas to #15, we fall one to #24

i'd figured we dropped. yeah we won games, but we played two games and never looked very impressive. lose to KU and we likely wont be ranked for a very long time.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Does Diallo take Kinney to the rack ???

diallo is far down my list. i'd start with:

• milan plan like a 2nd team all-america (didnt give us that against james madison)
• moreno play like a top 5 big man (hasnt given that yet this season)

[MidseasonTweak]

Has the line moved any since the news?

 

[chattanooga_wildcat]

Who gives a ****?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Who gives a ****?

Has it?

 

[Catastic5]

Kansas to #15, we fall one to #24

We fell a spot? Jeez. But I thought we looked so amazing the last two games according to Pope Team 6?

 

[CB3UK]

Get your *** up with my at 5:30am and we'll see how froggy you are.

 

[wildcat111]

10-15 point underdog.

 

[peterpiper09]

We’ll fall out of the top 25 after beating a KU team that has an injury.

 

[Anon1739778738]

Evansville, Oakland, St Peters, come to mind.

Me too glad that salesman is gone

 

[Anon1739778738]

His backup will be better than our starter probably.

 

[JimmyCleatusBob]

We win going away . "Mark" it down
