Giving up 40 points and 50% shooting is a no-no.
New ACC, same as the old ACC, apparently.
Ugh, tune into Illini game and 1st thing I see is Hightower's fucking mug. Too soon.
Edit: UK will likely pull away in the 2nd half. Besides, UK will probably need time to jell and when tourney time comes I'm guessing they'll have a 1 seed.
Artis (out for 9 games)
Dotson
Lloyd
Young (18.0 ppg Sr. transfer)
Calliste (14.4 ppg Sr. transfer
Still need to shore up our defense and our free throw shooting needs a lot of work, but not a bad game overall.
At least you guys get another warm up game against NKU before you have to face off against MSU. That should be a good yard stick of a game.UK pulled away in the second half, looked much better. Andrew Harrison is legit. And WCS looks surprisingly great.

Yeah, I worry about the MSU game. I think we're good enough to beat them if we play really well, but I don't know if we're ready.At least you guys get another warm up game against NKU before you have to face off against MSU. That should be a good yard stick of a game.
It was good to see our full team finally out there and healthy tonight, but we've only had one game like that and multiple guys have missed extended periods of practice within the last month and a half. Still not playing as a unit on defense is where that's shown so far I think.

Duke shot 61% from 3 and 70% overall tonight, which quite naturally means they'll shoot 32% for the game against Kansas next week.
If they game is going to be as physical as I think it will, we better do a better job hitting our FTs...Yeah, I worry about the MSU game. I think we're good enough to beat them if we play really well, but I don't know if we're ready.

On the other hand, they gave up 77 points, got outrebounded by a smaller team, and shot worse from the free throw line (68.8%) than shots in play (70.4).
We gon git killed on the inside, there's no two ways about it. Even Davidson scored down low with ease. It won't bother me too bad if KU does win next Tuesday, sure I'll bitch about it, but games in November don't mean shit in march unless the team is getting better and learning what it can and can't do. I think Duke will outscore most of the competition, but for the teams that can match the offense, they're going to have to get better on defense.Originally Posted by Randolph Freelander

My Arizona Wildcats tipping off against Cal Poly. Thank god the season is finally upon us.
I'm looking forwarding to watching Aaron Gordon. My little brother knows him and played in the same high school league against him out here in California. Great kid.
11/18/14: Kansas vs. Kentucky
Duke vs. Michigan State (in Indianapolis)
11/17/15: Kansas vs. Michigan State
Duke vs. Kentucky (Chicago)
11/15/16: Kentucky vs. Michigan State
Duke vs. Kansas (New York City)
Mind you Cal is still trying to get a second "Champions Classic" with UK, UNC, UCLA, and Ohio State
I dunno, KU only beat a borderline DII team by 17 (and even then it was a 12 point game with a few minutes left). We were missing our starting point guard, so I guess that'll be the official excuse. Tuesday should be interesting though.We gon git killed on the inside, there's no two ways about it. Even Davidson scored down low with ease.

Edit: WIGGINS DA GOD
KU fans know that feel, bro.Originally Posted by jakefromstatefarm
So at halftime, Arizona's up 37-34 against Cal Poly at home. Definitely not looking like the 6th ranked team in the country, but I have no doubt we'll get there come March.
On another note, Kansas State is about to lose to Northern Colorado, which I find both hilarious and sad.

Lot's of good to take away, lot's of room to improve, we'll get a more definitive take on the team after the games @SDSU, @Michigan, and hopefully Duke in MSG.
Also haven't adjusted to moving from the eastern time zone to pacific yet. Basketball at 4pm is a little rough.
Anyways, subscription established. Carry on.

The UofL online fan obsession with saying everyone they hate is gay just got a major shot in the arm.
I saw that vine a few hours ago. I've heard of locker room antics before, but that seems a bit...extreme.Originally Posted by PotatoeMasher
So that vine of a naked Anthony Davis getting spanked in the locker room at UK is a hot topic right now: https://vine.co/v/hI9zVV2Q6jq

Don't let anyone ever tell you Duke's not a football school.
102.
I hope the players and refs get a handle on these new rules quickly or its going to get really ugly.
More important is there are only 13 total fouls at the half. Turns out you can play basketball without hand checking on every possession.
