BB: Kansas opens as 5.5 point favorites

We really need a win after last night.
I think someone said in a popular post here a few days ago that Kansas did not look impressive so I guess if we lose then Kentucky is very unimpressive.
As much as I give Pope he’ll sometimes, he does generally have his teams ready to play high ranked opponents.
As usual, I just don’t want a blowout loss.

Kansas looked good in its last game. A real butt stomping. That spread may be a bit conservative, but who would know? It’s too early and probably a good time to make bets with spreads.

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.
What in the world are you talking about? We have started games down double digits more the past 2 years than I have ever seen.
No they didn’t.
Middle Tennessee was atrocious.
They couldn’t hit a layup, FT, or anything.
Kansas just kinda piled it on after they got up by 15 or so because of MT’s terribleness.
I’m glad they picked Kansas like that. Right where we want to be.
UK. 81
KU. 74

I hate KU but the emm effers won by FORTY FOUR. Lol
I don't feel great about the game. Looking at Kentucky objectively, they just didn't look well coached last game on offense or defense. I think inserting McBride or Mason Williams into the lineup instead of N'Diaye would be an obvious improvement but I don't count on Pope to see the obvious. The extra guard in the lineup would help against Kansas since they play mainly Stokes, Kaufmanwhatever, and about 5 guards.
They looked like trash forever. Pulled away, like I said, after it was evident that MT couldn’t beat a good high school team. Plus, they’re playing 3 players who shouldn’t be playing.
I’ll guarantee anybody that Momcilivic WON’T go 1 for 7 or 8 next game.
LOL. Okay.
For the rest of us, KU won by 44 and shot over 60% from the floor. And no starter played over 21 minutes.
**** Kansas, I hate those *******, Bill Self needs to upgrade the rug on his head 
Pope took a BYU squad into their little arena & bent them over shooting 3's, Self doesn't know how to defend the 3, Pope will use that to his advantage.

KU's big men are kind of trash. without their 3 24 year olds (counsil, white, and TKR) their roster isnt top half of the big 12. that will be the challenge for UK, much older guys and stokes who we have no one that can match his physicality. he'll be this years free throw merchant.
I hate Stokes and Kansas but have little faith in popes ability to have our team prepared for victory. Ohio State, Michigan State, Georgetown and Gonzaga come to mind.
9:30 pm tipoff is gonna be a no from me dawg. I'll catch the replay.
Some ol' ******** playing basketball at 9:30.
I think we have a better roster than Kansas.
I believe we win. 38-33 halftime. 72-69
I think for Kentucky they just want to make sure is your comfortably above 30 points with two three four minutes left in the first half....
If They're not ..
something went wrong and most likely they're losing.
If Mamabitch isn't hitting at least a couple threes I think they're losing at halftime

Yeah, 8:30 CST but woof these late tipoffs suck sooooo much the next day.
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.
Yeah, I never want the KU and UT games to be in the same week EVER again. Because my BP can't take it. The two schools I despise the absolute most. Because both their respective fan bases are the worst for each sport.**** Kansas, I hate those *******, Bill Self needs to upgrade the rug on his head

Like Duke and UConn fans are bad, but KU fans are just another level of twit.
So are you saying both Cal and Pope suck? Seems so complicated for some people...
Man, I really want this one and I would love someone to dunk on Stokes in the process.
I want big Frank to meet Stokes at the rim
Kansas is a big, athletic, good passing team but I’m dubious on their shooting. If they shoot to their average and we rebound and defend decent I think we win. If we don’t take care of the ball and they’re hot I think we lose. But everyone is guessing this early in the season.
