Post your secret scrimmage/exhibition scores and takeaways

Based on the Kentucky box score, it looks like they were damn lucky that Huggins got a DUI and Reeves couldn’t get cleared to transfer.
You couldn't even make it 5 minutes without blurting out something negative about UK. Just how obsessed are you?
Not sure the stupid nickname deserves a response but Arkansas beat Purdue in OT 81-77 at Bud Walton.
Well, let's see...considering I've been told that 20 negative threads about KU in a month isn't obsessive behavior, I'd say....not very?
UNC beat St. Augustine's 117-53. Bad competition but they couldn't have beaten me and four of my friends that bad last year so there is that. 7 guys in double figures and lots of player rotations. We will see if Hubert keeps that up when the real games start. There was a lot of ball sharing and not much overdribbling, which was nice to see. 23 assists was probably more than they had all last year.
RJ Davis looked great. When he was healthy he shot over 50% from three last year and I would expect he will be in the 40s all year.
Bacot looked the same as last year except his FT form looked way better.
Cadeau is legit. When the team figures out how to play with him he will load up on assists.
Cormac Ryan will make a lot of shots and be a good contributor.
Zayden High surprised me the most. I was not high on him but he was very active and impressive overall.
Washington looked solid but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets limited time and transfers.
Wojcik started but I don't know why. Not sure he is really ready for this level of ball consistently.
Not sure Okonkwo will play much and he didn't show a lot.
Trimble and Withers are hurt and didn't play.

Beat D2 Indianapolis, 74-52. Trailed at half though, 27-25.
Very lackluster 1st half....No reason to even discuss it.
Mgbako is gonna be really good. Explosive. Can score at sll three levels. Solid defender.
Ware--I can see the questions with him and his motor. Dude was slow motion most of the day. I have seen paint dry faster. Kid ever fixes his motor, hes a lotto pick...Great stroke. Had 4 blocks, and actually led IU with 14 points. But only after being sat for like 10+ minutes. Seemed to light a fire.
Sparks---Ball State transfer. He can play at this level. Lot more athletic than I thought. Finish well. He'll give IU some good minutes.
Cupps--Is who I felt. Basketball IQ is so good. Handles the ball well. Good defender. Just a pest. Cant wait to see this kid as junior/senior. He will help with some spot minutes for XJ.
Gunn--Not sure what has happened with this kid. Had 8-9 points, but cannot buy a shot. IU gonna need him to step up from the perimeter.
XJ---Looked good. Has to stay healthy.
Walker--Miami, Fla transfer...Very solid. Athletic. Good off the bounce within 15 feet. Hes gonna find minutes.
Shooting man...Shooting....shooting....shooting. Just not good.
Overall---Pieces are there. Mgbako is gonna be a HUGE problem for folks. IF Woody can get Ware to play hard, I mean dudes a Top 10 talent. Shooting has to gt better.
We will have some issues early---still tons of questions---But overall, liked what I saw.

Very admirable for Kansas to be wearing their gay pride unis.
Don’t care about RR, the comment was about your obsession with UK.
It appears to me that you would rather see UK lose than see KU win.
To be totally fair, you guys doomed yourselves to at least one (exhibition) loss to Illinois when you let Hunter Dickinson on the roster, it was unavoidable. 😂
In a exhibition thriller in East Lansing, Tennessee defeated Michigan State, 89-88.
The things I was concerned about presented themselves yesterday. Dickinson's defense, outside shooting...the loss of Morris's athleticism and scoring ability will hurt. Not too worried about team defense because they've just started working on it and Self teams always get there eventually, although Dickinson's P&R D will probably never be great.
Looks like McCullar's taken a big leap offensively.
I read that all of the top 4 lost. Haven't heard anything about a Duke exhibition though.

Well, that's a ridiculous comment, especially from someone who ran here to post for the first time in weeks seconds after the news about Morris's suspension broke. And then created a thread about the announcement of KU's punishment. Find one thread that I've ever created about UK. Just one. I'll wait.
If you don't consider Kentucky fans obsessed with KU, then I'm sure as hell not obsessed with Kentucky.
I like what a saw. Though, Dickinson better get his head straight or Big 12 D is going to rattle him. He is kind of a doosh. He can dominate but I can also see him getting in foul trouble a lot in this league.
Yeah, if Parker Braun has to play a lot of minutes in a big game, KU's in trouble.
Btw, I thought Illinois looked solid. They consistently hit tough shots. I know Shannon has been up and down in the past but that was definitely one of his "good" nights.
I agree . . . it’s really not enough. You could (should 🤔?) be doing it more!
You are 100% ate up with UK. Your 1st response ITT....wasn't about KU.
Only info I've found is a few comments on a Duke board. Apparently Nova fans claim they won and Duke fans claim they won. Or at least that their regulars dominated Nova's regulars.
Maybe because KU hadn't played yet and everyone was talking about the UK exhibition, numbnuts. Again, if I'm ate up, I don't even know how to describe the UK obsession with KU.
...and yet, nobody cares about your UK 'input' but it's still spewed from your idiot mouth here daily.
If not for UK, you wouldn't have shit to post about, chief.
Oh.... maybe 'chief' was a low blow after the ass whoopin they took yesterday.
Nobody cares, yet here you are crying like a little girl once again. 🤣
The same bum who says I should take it as a compliment that UK fans make 6000 threads to hate on KU. Ever think that maybe you're just a big pussy?
Again--- shit that happens on RR is irrelevant here. Your act here is as old and tired as President Pee pads.
The only pussy here is you.... just a little keyboard bitch. You would not want to try stepping to me in person. You are the personification of a little 'big' man, hiding behind his computer screen, just constantly posting your daily bullshit and everybody here knows it. Keep embarrassing yourself, tough guy.
LOL @ the ITG. Calls me "tough guy" two sentences after threatening violence. Can't make it up. 🤣
And yeah...anyone who gets this riled up over the post I made is the definition of a pussy.
Btw, RR is relevant, because many of you post there and join in on the KU hate party. Then you come over here and pretend like you disown RR. No one's buying your bullshit.
I thought UK and KU fans agreed to call truce and hate Duke, I am lost
Dickinson spent the off-season eating pizza and drinking beer

And banging dudes (at least that's what @lurkeraspect84 told me).
New post, same tired schtick. Just a basic keyboard bitch.
You made it personal and then tried to find fault w/the response.... the old cut and run. Nothing pussier than that.
Never disowned RR....just very rarely post there. They must have really trampled your wittle feelings to bitch about stuff they say on a different board EVERY day. Good lord, dude. Grow a set.
We got destroyed in a secret scrimmage 2 Mil to 42. Nova is tough! Eric Dixon should be the consensus national preseason POY. Just a crazy, dominant force down low.
LOL, so me posting a thread on here to discuss a rape allegation, is equal to the amount of times you rag on UK fans and Rupps Rafters?
So, the news about Morris wasn’t important enough to post here? Newsflash, If he played for Illinois, or UCLA, I would have done the same thing.
But here's the thing, KU is pre season #1, so that was bigger news just for that reason.
I didn’t post it because I have ill feelings towards KU, in fact, I have stated, multiple times, that I am a fan of KU. I greatly respect the program, I like Self and I like the style of play he runs, but somehow, you think I posted that because I have an issue with KU.
Heck, I don't even hate Louisville or Tennessee… .what's to hate?
And why the hell does it matter that you don't start threads about UK? I don't start very many threads either. But here's what you do, almost every time you post, it's a negative comment about UK, UK fans, or Rupps rafters and it's gotten to be a bit much. I'm embarrassed for you. We get it, UK fans bother you, we ALLLLLL get it. So guess what, maybe stop going to Rupp Rafters. Voila, problem solved.
You have a serious hate boner for anything UK and you really should get it under control. It’s owning you
