Anyone who beats K-State by 18 has my attention. Colorado has a ton of experience. Top 6 has 4 seniors and 2 juniors.

Yeah, they're not some super talented team by any means, but they're a mature and experienced squad. They've also hit the hardwood already, while we haven't.

Depends, I never have to worry if I am or am not going to be able to watch a game. I live in the country and my TV selection has grown from antenna to satellite to DirecTV over my lifetime, I'm good with just having overpriced options I guess.

Colorado's best chance of winning is with their PG Wright having a big game. It'll be interesting to see who we put on him. #41 can absolutely shoot it and handles the rock pretty impressively for his size. The rest of the team is kinda lacking in talent, but they're all aggressive/ hardworking players. They bring it every play.

I 100% wouldn't be surprised if we lose this game. Might take us till conference play for us to fully gel.

Keon is our defensive stopper, already, imo. So, I think he picks Wright up at halfcourt and uses his length to pressure him, all night long, unless he can't stay in front of him and gets in early foul trouble. But, I think Keon can and will shut him down

Wait a sec - I bought into the hype - lock, stock, and barrel, and now I'm hearing we may well lose vs CU.

I don't smoke but DAMN I need a cigarette....

As been discussed before, we only lost one senior and had a transfer practicing with us all last season. We’ve got the returning defensive POY and a legit contender for SEC POY with both being seniors. Our 2 returning sophomores should be improved. 2 of our freshmen are high ranked 5*’s who have been getting high praise from CRB who doesn’t throw it around everywhere. Throw in a grad transfer rebounder and VBJ. Everyone can down play this team all they want but we’re loaded.

It’s college basketball and anyone can lose on a given night, but I haven’t felt this good to start a season in CRB’s time on the hill. Again, JMO

They likely won't do it but I wish UT would wear their new orange uniforms for the first game even though it's a home game. I believe Colorado's road uniforms are black so they could easily wear the orange since there is definitely enough contrast. It would be nice to see a color vs. color game.

Yeah, but you act like we have all these returning players from a 30 win team. We were average at best last year. We will be a good team but how good remains to be seen.

Average at best? How do you figure that?

Maybe the season record was average, but if you look deeper in light of losing LT and transitioning into SV / JJJ leading the guard play along with Fulky blossoming during SEC play I’d say we were playing well above average late in the season. JMO

Makes sense in your situation. Streaming isn't a great option with crap internet.

That being said, with YTTV, I dont have to worry about missing a game either.

I'm currently watching the Steelers game without worry. I certainly understand the value of the other options I just have never had the desire to have to search 4 or 5 different services in order to watch a game of any kind.

Yeah, usually Kansas State is a tough out but they've lost to Drake & UNLV by 10 & Colorado by 18 and one win over UMKC by 4 points. These scores look like this is not the usual K State team.
That win by Colorado over K state got my attention until I seen K States schedule and stats.

I'd agree, I think last year's team overachieved a bit last season because of all they went through. Average teams don't win very often in Rupp Arena, hoping that changes this season as I'd love to see the kittens drop.

The length and athleticism of our guards should be a problem for Wright. He is going to be defended by guys who are 6-4, 6-4, 6-5, and 6-6. I doubt he has seen that kind of length and athleticism, yet.
