even as a UK fan, i'll admit there's some validity to this :lol
i remember in 98 when they won the title, that whole season was pretty much jam-packed with close games that they managed to pull out. it was nuts, and really stressful.

UK non-conference is pretty soft this year with only three OOC top 25 games (UConn, UNC, and Louisville) and only a few other games that I would consider quality wins (Virginia/Stanford, Indiana). This is mostly Gillepsie's fault as Cal wasnt able to change the schedule quick enough to get many of the games he wanted. I mean the previous two years at Memphis, they played Xavier, Georgetown x2, Syracuse, Cincinnati x2, Tennessee x2, Gonzaga x2, Oklahoma, UConn, USC, Arizona
After this year on top of the usual UL/IU/UNC series, Cal wants to add a rotating series with Cincinnati, West Virginia, and one other team and wants to add a series with either Texas or Kansas.

I doubt that Kentucky loses to a mid-major. If they can get past Rider, then Kentucky has really already played the best mid major teams that are on their schedule with Morehead State, Sam Houston State, Miami, and Rider.
Edit: The game last night wasnt like Miami. Kentucky played shitty defense again, but they really were never at any risk of losing the game.

Michigan is down early to Houston Baptist. We can't buy a fucking bucket. :lol
IU/UK is a long standing rivalry so you can never tell what will happen in those games. I'll be glad when Tom Creen gets that program back on its feet.
UNC's schedule is pretty tough considering how young the team is, but I'm guessing Huckleberry's plan is to burn them now so they'll be prepared in March. Duke needs to get some home and homes going again. In the 90's they had a series with Michigan and UCLA. We have ASU, probably UConn, @Wisconsin, the Zags in MSG and GTown in DC. Not bad but not quite as tough as UNC's We'll see how it pays off.

Michigan with sloppy 22 point win over Houston Baptist. Better get our shit together or Creighton could give us some problems next week.
Cal is brutal. tOSU a little less so. If they stop playing AAU ball they'll be dangerous.
UNC has no back court. They're front line should keep them up there all year though. They also can't seem to handle a crowd, too inexperienced I guess.
'Cuse...well, how did they lose their exhibition? They've played flawlessly these past two nights thus far.

Yo Beelzebozo! I knew you'd come back, homie.
When I explain to people how we didn't have class the day before the 1996 Final Four, people don't know what to think. (Of course, I don't know if that was true for all schools in the district) Also, when we were on a field trip, we stopped to go to a McDonalds so we could watch the game on TV. It extended the trip by two hours, haha. The principal was the one who said we should do it.

Hey I remember the Holes sucked at the beginning of Hansbroughs freshman year. Come March, they spoiled JJ and Shelden's senior day and were a much better team. Oh I was so fucking mad, not just the UNC loss but Duke had lost in a pretty embarrassing fashion to FSU the game before. I knew then that they were not going to win any championship.

Well the 'Heels won't have too much time to sulk since they have Michigan State coming up and they need to be up for that.

McCamey is way too high for a player who takes entire games off and can't play any D at all.
Anymore, every season top teams lose early. The talent gap has really narrowed compared to years ago. Heels will likely be fine, a lot of comes down to finding out who will be in your rotation and learning their roles, chemistry, etc.
Wesley Johnson looks to have had a good game per the boxscore. It hurt ISU bad when he left after his frosh season.. really good player. If you put him with Craig Brackins they'd be dirty.

that was two years ago, in '07 when neitzel was on the team, they lost to grand valley state lulz

I thought it was last year, wait was last year when UK lost to Gardner Webb? I can't remember. Anyway, they still don't count for shit. Games now are not great indicators of where teams will be late in the season. Young teams take their lumps and other teams with big question marks usually have a couple of losses at the start of conference play. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gonzaga beat Duke in December, they're a good quick team.

In regards to the Syracuse / LeMoyne exhibition game, one team was playing it's biggest game of the year, and the other team was experimenting with line-ups, giving extended time to freshmen and walk-ons to show what they could do, and didn't play a second of zone defense.
There's a reason those games don't count.

UK is up big at the half against Rider, 51-26. our defense has stepped up noticeably, and Rider is 0-9 of 3's, despite Cousins being out for the half early w/foul trouble. their shot % is 32.1%, 9-28, while ours is 58.3%, 21-36.
overall a great half, now lets keep it up.
