Might be an “if” at this point. The team needs to be prepared to not have him at all this season
Same thing with us and the sketchy ass Preston situation. We can compete with anyone with our current roster---but in reality, six games in march with your main backup being mitch lightfoot and a 6'4 walk on will not be a recipe for overcoming a poor shooting night from outside. Duke is a rough matchup inside for us right now.
They seem to be out of sorts,right now the chemistry is not there. They have a long ways to go,I hope they get it as the season progresses.
Trent is in a massive slump right now so hopefully he snaps out of it.But UK can't shoot and Duke has Allen and Trent
Haven't watched them but Duke' s front court is young, wait till Bagley and Carter are seniors.
We seriously need to have like a test to prove you watch more than just Kentucky...err, I mean...your favorite team before you start posting. The volume of Kentucky...err, I mean general basketball fans who come here knowing nothing about anything other than their team is disgusting. Oh, and what they read on the home board, of course.
As compared to who? I think you believe their bench is sub par b/c their first five are fantastic.
I think this is a factor. It’s about depth of good players, not who starts.
He can be solid, a little too hit and miss. But yeah, he makes for good post depth.
What are you talking about? I would put 53 points up against them while the four of you sit on the bench.
I'm sure you do rock
I have to keep it for another month unfortunately.
Do you post on rafters with this avatar? LaughingI'm sure you do rock
Absolutely not lol a lot of them already hate me over there. That would turn the rest of them on me Laughing
That's the great thing about the national board. Homerism is basically set aside and ppl can say what they feel.
The dig up Monica/Kevin is a descendant of the blue ppl of Kentucky (Fugate family) episode was one of the best all time.
That top 25 defense and offense is skewed. Besides Kansas you’ve played nobody. Still probably better than duke at defense though
Louisville only beat St. Francis PA by 12. Nova only beat a similarily ranked KenPom team in Columbia by 15.
Congrats on your lopsided win. It's huge.
I agree. And I am seeing K use his bench more than I have seen in the past. The real test will be when conference play starts. Hope that the coaching staff maintains the minutes -- especially for Javin, Marques, AOC, and Goldwire. Going deeper helps the starters stay more healthy and rested.
I don't think it is unwarranted to bring up the facts. Nobody would be selling Duke if a UK fan didn't ask them to. And also, I brought up the fact that our horrid bench scored 53 points because a UK fan questioned the scoring ability of Duke's bench. And then another UK fan chalked that up to the team Duke was playing. Which opens the door for someone to respond by bringing up the other team and who else they've played.
Seems like a need to know "who is the best now"; not unlike "who has the best recruiting class". The BBN will always pull for UK and Duke fans (like me) will pull the other way. Really happy where Duke is at the moment AND I'm expecting them to get better through the season. The tough part really comes to light with the beginning of the ACC regular play. Kentucky is in a different position this season with possibly not being the strongest team in the SEC -- TAMU (GIG'M) and Florida look particularly strong.
