yeah Wright was the big miss

SkyPrince · 2026-11-03T02:37:39-0600

Christian Collins was out(undisclosed) tonight.
Donnie Freeman out for season.

NociHTTP · 2026-11-03T03:40:45-0600

that Insomnivic character didn't do too well, either.

Jasper be like:

Glenn's Take · 2026-11-03T03:47:29-0600

Oklahoma minus 28 1/2.

ThreeDogNight2 · 2026-11-03T04:30:29-0600

Poor Travis can’t seem to hit

SkyPrince · 2026-11-03T05:32:32-0600

He did start tonight but only had one assist and two turnovers.
I could definitely see Perry playing for five different schools in five years.

Wait, I thought it was Caleb Holt lol

Cleatortoises · 2026-11-03T05:48:38-0600

Acaden Lewis was a disappointing loss.
Didn't he leave because we signed Jasper?

Padsfs07 · 2026-11-03T06:35:19-0600

Jelavic had a nice line for Ohio St. In their loss to BYU.

13 and 9

UKWildcats1987 · 2026-11-03T07:02:35-0600

Perry is a shooter though according to the resident experts on here. He just needs 4 or 5 years to show it.

Forgot about him.
Going to be interesting seeing how the ones we let walk compare to who we brought in.

He was the one I wanted to stay. Didn't show much his first yr in college but always looked like a piece that would develop nicely be yr 3.

No, he left because we signed Lowe.

It's one game, but Jasper doesn't seem to have it.

But is his uncle happy? Kid has a lot of skill but zero knowledge on how to actually play the game.

His uncle is writing a strongly worded X post as we speak. At the end of the season, Jasper will take his talents to Morehead St.

SenseMaker_Cats · 2026-11-03T08:29:14-0600

Lowe led his team in shots. 2 assists and two turnovers. Unless he continues to go 5 of 8 all the time from three, I think we’ll see the same player he was at Pitt and his short time here.

peterpiper09 · 2026-11-03T08:53:09-0600

Rob Wright was a little too ball dominant and chose to shoot more than get teammates involved. Just my take. Yes, he had a good game, but what about when a few of those shots aren’t going in the basket? He’s the PG whose job is to get everyone involved. Also, screw him for playing us ONLY to get more $$$$. Wasn’t a whiff as a lot like to indicate.

I think that's how BYU will play this year.
Wright is the PG but he will also be the #1 scoring option.
Trae Young lite.

It happened after they signed Lowe.

North Carolina really struggled with Western Carolina. Only got some separation in the last 4 minutes when Western’s best player fouled out.

I saw that. Also, Kusturica & UCLA upset Arizona in a pretty great game, and Kansas, despite playing TKR, struggled at home vs Fordham.

Padsfs07 · 2026-11-03T09:16:54-0600

Yeah the PG missed on was Quinn Ellis.
I noticed Keyshawn Hall had a big game for St John’s as well.

Padsfs07 · 2026-11-03T09:17:43-0600

Kusturica went 0-5 on 3s. A bit of N’Diaye to his game in the opener.

They also aren't ranked either. It isn't a world beating team this year per at least the early thoughts of voters.

Yeah him being hurt last year had nothing to do with his play here, it’s possible he’ll be better this year, only time will tell

Padsfs07 · 2026-11-03T09:25:34-0600

UNC may be ok once they get Fens eligible. They miss his presence inside.

Jasper Johnson cycling down the hoops toilette is an interesting case. 21st ranked 5* in a loaded class. 12 kids ahead of him were one and done, and this kid is now the 8-9th man on a bad Oregon team as a sophomore. You wonder if it's the kid or did his first year break him.

The 8 kids before that weren't drafted are all starting at really great programs.

Mullins/Khamenia at UConn. Hartwell at Gonzaga. Yessoufou at St Johns. Haralson, Tennessee. McKenney, Michigan. Boozer, Duke. Arenas, USC.

And this cat is a deep bench rider at Oregon. Talk about falling of a cliff.

I hate anything coming out of Overtime Elite. They don't teach what needs to be taught for the college level.

I know Lowe scored a lot but I still feel we upgraded. Perhaps the only position we upgraded from last year.

Jasper has published a video online called “The Journey.” I have not watched but the first few seconds of it. Seemed odd.

He can certainly fill the points column at times. Very talented young man.

His averages will go up, but his percentages will plummet. IMHO.

Crazy talk, Momo is going to be so much of an upgrade over what we had.
