For those craving some college basketball in early August

[Rhavicc]

UK playing in just over 1 hour (7 pm est) on the SEC Network. For our big-time CBB fans looking for a sports fix. Will also be playing at the same time tomorrow, Saturday, and at 4 pm est on Sunday.

I fully expect a 10 pager after UK loses to Mega Bemax on Saturday.

I wouldn't be shocked in the least. Bemax is a helluva team.

Yawn

Probably unnecessary. Just wanted to let people know in case they were interested in catching some basketball early in the year. Some people are sports fan and would like that. I like basketball. Hell, if Louisville, Duke, or even Villanova was playing basketball in early August, I would watch.

Duke is, if you’ve got ESPN+.

Duke is, if you’ve got ESPN+.

When? I could probably check them out. Who do they play?

When? I could probably check them out. Who do they play?

15th - Ryerson University
17th - U of Toronto
19th - McGill University

Not the most intriguing competition, but I'm interested. I'll check 'em out.

Nick Richards!!!!!

Washington looks and is moving much better.

I love the versatility that Washington is showing. Dude has been very good early on.

Hagans is a monster defensively. I believe that puts him up to 4 steals before the half. Each one, he picked the dude's pocket.

On here or on Rafters?

4 uncalled fouls, are these Calipari's personal refs?

 

[HRTheCard]

So Bahama's center is a 17 year old? What kind of team is Uk even playing?

Starting early complaining about refs.

I've counted 3 at least.

Let's be incredibly fair here. In 2014-15, UNC (with Kennedy Meeks, Bryce Johnson, etc.) played the Bahamas team and lost. They were destroyed by a 15 year old center (a super skinny Deandre Ayton, but still yet).

We can't knock them, we played against bellboys when went. Lol

I think he wound up with 5. I know he stole one near the end of the half (which led to Herro being fouled).

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I'm just happy watching college basketball.

I was seriously asking. I thought this Bahamas team was like the national olympic team or something lol.

 

[mebeblue2]

Yawn

yet here you are

[mebeblue2]

just from this very small sample size i think Hagans and Quickley should start the season

 

[Rhavicc]

I was seriously asking. I thought this Bahamas team was like the national olympic team or something lol.

Oh, it is.

Definitely the weakest team on UK's Bahamas schedule though. They only won one game in the FIBA tournament, and exited in the first round.

This should be our easiest game, maybe tougher than Team Toronto, but Mega Bemax has three future NBA players, and San Lorenzo de Almagro is probably the best team in South America..

It is, kinda. No Buddy Hield, Ayton, and a few other of their better players though.

Definitely is. They won their championship in the toughest division of their pro league down there this past season.

Are they missing some of their guys though because still a 17 yr old being the main man down low doesn’t sound right

It's August and Baker is out, but I was hoping for better shooting.

Whose minutes will Baker take?

 

[bignish]

Tyler Herro has a little Bob Sura and Rex Chapman in his game. He could wind up being a great college player if he sticks around.

Whichever guard isn't producing at a high level.

White guys usually stick around.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Overall, a lot of sloppiness, beyond poor outside shooting, somehow managed to win.

First game in the books.

 

[brooky03]

Gayyyyyy

Would've liked to see Hagans play a little more, he can create on both ends.
