College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Unsurprisingly, Kentucky through the first 3 minutes looks like a bunch of freshmen against grown men.

Dickinson is a cheat code in this Kansas offense.

You could talent your way to a title with a bunch of freshmen a decade ago. Not so easy to do that now.

Illinois choking this one away against Marquette. Marquette up 7 with 4:17 to go.

 

[SGMVols]

That’s as wide open of a 3 as UK is going to get. If they aren’t putting those down, they’ve got no shot.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kansas now pissing down their leg and moving away from doing all the things that got them their 9-0 lead. This is putrid and sloppy basketball.

 

[SGMVols]

Getting very sloppy in this one

BJ Edwards riding the struggle bus tonight against aTm. 0 points on 0-4 shooting, 4 rebs, 3 assts and 3 TOs with under 3:00 to play.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I know they have played basically no one so far, but Alabama has scored 100+ in all 3 of their games so far. That is…..impressive.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, it’s early in the season, but Kentucky looks pretty damn impressive. The talent there is obvious. Only question was if Cal who has been bad in recent years managing his freshmen could get his team to gel. So far, they look the part.

SEC play is going to be brutal this year.

They are missing the majority of their frontline players, as well. This is the most talented UK team since the Wall/Cousins/Bledsoe team. We will see how they jell and grow up, but the talent in undeniable.

Hurts me to say it. But even tho it's early on this may be the best Kentucky team in several years

I don’t understand why Kansas isn’t having Dickinson sit on the block and feed him all night long. They haven’t done it much at all and Kansas is having really bad shot selection

 

[SGMVols]

That last minute could be big. Looked like UK was about to seize total control but they just gave KU life

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Either Kentucky is incredibly undervalued right now or Kansas is overrated. Hard to say. There is a lot of talent on this Kentucky team as discussed, but there is really no excuse for an experienced and veteran team like Kansas to be getting manhandled on the glass and playing without composure against a bunch of freshmen. Kansas has looked like the rattled team.

Kentucky looks crazy fast

Yeah, rebounding is an area of concern for UK, right now, but they have more than held their own. It's been effort that has won them that battle.

 

[Willy14]

Kansas has played such sloppy basketball this entire game. It’s why they are down by 12

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kansas just looks….bad. Wouldn’t mind playing them in Maui.

I agree, granted this is the first game I have seen them play all year but man they are getting manhandled when they shouldn’t be.

 

[ColinS]

This Dillingham guy is the real deal

 

[SGMVols]

Kansas finally starting to match the energy of Kentucky and it’s getting them back in the game.

 

[Vol49er]

I hate both of these teams but man I love college basketball, I am so glad its back

 

[omghulkhands]

Welp. Our recent opponents aren’t fairing too well.

Michigan State lost to Duke

Wisconsin got soundly beaten by Providence

And Tennessee Tech got smoked by Lipscomb

I think it is still too early to draw any real conclusions about MSU or the Badgers. I still think they both have nice seasons. But we’ll see.

And really who cares about TTU we know they suck lol.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Y’all aren’t giving Providence enough credit. That team is pretty good.

Devin Carter is a pretty good guard, Oduro is a pretty good forward as well. Then they got dude the size of a milk truck in Bryce Hopkins, so they have size to bully Wisconsin.
