Who guards Stokes tomorrow

Forgot about McBride. He will be on Stokes mark it down. Hes the only one with the size and fire to guard that shittalker.
I like what McBride was bringing to the floor the other night. Be interesting to see how he does.
I'll take him. 65 and bum kneed but still got some church league dirty tactics that will have him wanting to give the ball up after a quarter of that.
Kam on him would be intriguing
We have no one who can guard him. Franck will end up fouling out on him when he drives to the basket.
Funny that some people think he’s gonna be SGA out there.
Nobody we have matches up well, I’d put Ousmane on him and see if Stokes can score over length
He had (8) points on 2-5 shooting and 4-7 from the FT line against freaking Middle Tennessee. I think we can manage something.
Yeah he wouldn’t be top 10 in last years freshman class. His stats against 2 cupcakes aren’t impressive at all.
That is the small mentality on this board at times, Stokes has not proven anything yet on the college level.
I would put Momcilivic on Stokes hoping that he’d counter guarding MOM. He doesn’t stay engaged and MOM is due a big game.
Against Duke and UL, he lived at the free throw line. That’s what I’m expecting tomorrow.
Kiss him and caress him while your at it.
bro is just a drive and get fouled merchant.
And even then we got some big boys to stop people
Too dangerous, you don’t want MOM getting in foul trouble
I’d rotate multiple players at him all night. McBride, Ousmane, Hawthorne, Kam. See if he struggles against length. But I could see McBride being most effective if he can stay in front and body him up on drives without reaching.
Ill guard him, they call me "off night"
Echoing some in here, I think body/physicality wise you put McBride on him. Think Kam would also be intriguing
Would have to agree, just afraid that Uzi would also find himself committing bad fouls. We match up well in terms of length luckily, just can’t let there be easy blow bys, KU’s guards are pretty quick
I dont like the guy. But I wont ignore his talents man. He can do everything. Hes a 6'9 point guard.
He is shooting 25% from three and 57% from the stripe. Its not like we are preparing for Michael Jordan
Wouldn't put any of our twigs on him. He will send them to the bleachers with the slightest bump. Mcbride and Mom. Let him drive by them and have Frank the Tank waiting on him with a Flintstones club.
When your dealing with a future all star you have to prepare, he can go off for 30 any given night, just hope its not tomorrow
And I like how yall are acting like hes no good based off two games of stats. I guess Mom isnt any good either since he shot like crap last game. Quit kidding yourselves. Stokes will try to go even harder tomorrow because obviously he likes crapppin on UK.
I think he has a huge game but we can still win even if he does.

I think people have mostly been reacting to the comments acting like stokes would bully everyone we have and that we have no chance of keeping him from scoring 30 not entirely what you’re saying.
I think he’ll have more than 10 points but I wouldn’t go as far to say he’ll have a great game, and I think our guys have a real good chance to stop this loser.
also mom scored like 24 pts first game?
Yea Mom is awesome. But he had a off night last game. But I know its a off night and hes not a bad player. Also hes a senior I think? Stokes has played two games as a freshman. Its possible hes had two off nights if a senior can have one.
But I do think Stokes will have around 25 points and a great game. I think he will be fired up and talking trash. Which is what I want to see. Get our players fired up. Pope should be fired up for the disrespect Stokes showed.
I cant stand the guy but he will be the best player on the court tomorrow. But good thing is this is a team sport and I think our team is better. Cats win. Stokes hangs his head and regrets his decision after the game. I want this game more than any on the schedule.
I cant stand Stokes but I sure as heck know what hes capable of. Stars usually rise to the occasion when the bright lights are on. Probably didnt get up for Tennessee state.
Pope will play his patented hope he misses defense on him.
And maybe he will?
No reason for UK to not win this game.
Top to bottom we have a better, deeper team.
It’s on a neutral court. And now their point guard is out.
Just don’t give up. I know that’s tall order for Pope but it shouldn’t be.

Last game he had like two points through the first half so I mean I would put hawthorne or Ous on him. And I would face guard him.
And that should be it for him being quite effective

I don’t think Stokes is that talented compared to a Dybantsa/Boozer/Caleb Wilson but he has that big body we always seem to struggle against. I’d put McBride on him and let him shoot.

You've put down this roster over and over and now you make this statement. I guess you'll now admit that Pope put a deeper and more talented team together that HOF coach Self or are you just trying to set up your trashing during and/or after the game?
Don't overlook his ability to pass the ball to the open man. I watched him in a game this year rack up some assist pretty fast because of drawing the defense to himself. Don't kid yourself there's a reason a lot of schools were after him. I don't like him and hope he has the worst game of his life. He s a wanna be thug and trash for his behavior while being recruited by ky.

I’d start Ous on him and take a step back on perimeter, enough to get a hand up on a jumper but he’s not going to beat us shooting 15ft & out. I worry when start the stupid switching every dumb ghost screen and Moreno ends up on him, he’s going straight to the rim and officials will be big tomorrow. No pretty boy Lindsey or look at Patty adams, absolutely can’t have softball shorts shows either cause he calls so many anticipated fouls out of position.
Melvin Council Jr is out, he broke his foot so they'll have Kinney & a transfer playing PG tomorrow.
Use their length to the play off of him. He’ll draw fouls regardless just have to stay vertical and move their feet. Interesting to see what happens.
Ai cant seem to get his face right but this is how I see Frank with the way he plays and talks. And I don't mean it as disrespect. Hes one of my favorite players....come get you some Stokes.
