This is a good D-2 team but UK should still be up by 20. The Cats have some work to do, especially defensively, to round into a solid team but they’ll get there. No worries.

This is pathetic. Heck Kentucky's NIT team won their exhibition games by an average of 39 points.

Not buying that. He has never tried to hide a future line up. Didn’t do it last time he had a deep team in 2015. And it’s not just the line ups it’s the players individual play as well

Lol not buying he said that? Well the man said it so
Idk what to tell you. And every team he has coached here at UK he has coached different. He says it every year.

letting them all the way to the rim at the pg position is annoying. it’s good duke can’t take advantage of that.

Ummm we were up 30-13 ten minutes into the game. They then got hot from 3 and made 4 in 3 minutes and we had a few careless early season like turnovers. We are still up 9 at halftime. That’s not struggling. You don’t go up 17 on a team in 10 minutes and be struggling. Ridiculous people on this forum. This UK team is super specials. Stop bitching all the time and enjoy the season.

No way the pumpers can spin anything positive from this.

Two.

1. IUP is playing hella hard right now. They are playing this to win like its the 2nd weekend of the tournament.

2. Once again, we think freshman are invincible. Some of our freshman will be back next year. Heck maybe even a sophomore. This team is not going to lose 8 players to a 60-man draft.

This team isn’t playing focused. They will Tuesday

They’re probably tired of all the preseason and ready for it to mean something

I hope so. Like I said. Just want to see them destroy somebody. And this little upstart is hanging around waaay too much.

Part of the reason it's closer right now is Cal rotating guys in and out so much. He's trying to get a more even distribution of minutes and different lineups in. It leads to a funky flow. Would like to see better defense though, regardless.

This team needs to just do their job. What's your position? Just do that. Don't do more. Don't play out of position. Do the small things.

They're playing the game of their lives. Hitting everything. Guarantee they don't hit half of these shots in a normal game, but it's Kentucky and they're playing like it's a title game.

The coaches are going to be getting little sleep looking at film for 3 days until we play Duke. Certainly have work to do.

Absolutely do. Playing sloppy yes. That happens. I bet we win by 20-25. We didn’t struggle. These players know we have Duke in 3 days. They are coasting through this game. Definitely not some reason to panic and be negative toward our team.

Wonder if Cal is holding Green and Richards back tonight so as not to show Duke what's coming.

No transition game against a D2 team is disappointing.

I watch a lot of MAAC games. Manhattan alumni, Iona friends, lived near Siena and the MAAC tournament was practically walking distance from my apartment.

IUP could be in the MAAC. Certainly their performance tonight. They actually remind me of some of Steve Mas' earlier Jasper teams.

Now, I know that isn't great either.. Barely beating a MAAC team.. But it's worth something. Don't let the opponent fool you.. Especially when we don't get the Duke whistle.
