I don't think he's played that bad. Made some nice passes. I think you guys are mixing him up with about 4 other tallish skinny kids playing on the East team.

The reason play is sloppy is because these guys are playing defense tonight. That doesn't usually happen. It's easy to look good when guys are just moving out of the way. But that's not happening here. There have been lots of fouls and contact, and lots of defense being played.

Fox hasn't looked very good, I agree, but he seems very nervous to me. I think he'll be better in the second half. We'll see.

I think Diallo could have had a decent freshman season if Self allowed him to play through mistakes, but that would jeopardize his precious streak.

I just saw on Twitter where a UK site told Jay Williams they needed to talk about the game and he replied "Talk to my producers!" I guess they're told to talk about everything but the game.

You should reply that we are currently talking to his producers about finding someone better to call his game.

LOL some of you guys are hilarious. My takes through the first four pages:

- Fox is a bust. Will never be able to play at UK.
- Jason Tatum is a cancer.
- Josh Jackson will be the number 1 pick next year.
- Azubuike is too fat to be successful.
- Bam plays hard.

I'd venture to say only one of those is correct. I'll let you decide which one.

Agreed, although it's entirely possible Josh Jackson goes #1 in the 2017 draft.

Just wait until Humphries hits a few three pointers during madness , we'll need him to get time as our three point threat . Play him and Willis at the same time to shoot teams to death , will work .

I can see it now.

Monk/Fox becomes top 10 picks. Every fan base including UK's will talk about how they were always top 10 pick.

And Fox making some great passes.

Tatum and Allen will each have to have a hand on the ball for every shot. How else will they both be able to shoot every possession?

How many times must it be said and shown. You cannot judge ANYTHING by all star games, three point contest, dunk contest, free throw contest, etc. It is a measuring stick for idiots to ***** and moan about because they don't realize the real game and these "games" are nowhere near close. How many times do the great athletes have to suck in these games, and the ishy ones play well before some of you get it.

Just this year we had certain posters saying "but briscoe won a three point contest". He could hit "this and that" during a stupid contest or during meaningless high school games. The result? The worst shooting shooting guard in, well, probably UK's history.

Nothing will show until these guys hit the practice court for UK, and to a greater extent, the actual games.

Take what you think you know from tonight and flush it with your morning turds.

tatum playing pf in order to get his points because of a better match up. what a joke

I get hating the kid for being a Dukie and all, but you'd have to be an idiot not to attempt to exploit a match up advantage in a game if the opportunity presents itself.

People making declarations about Fox's game are idiots, but we're certainly going to miss Tyler Ulis. Stupid all-star games aside, I don't see our back court being better next year.
