Had we not had such a crappy shooting half, we'd be beating a somewhat better team by about the same margin KU is beating their sub-scrub.

 

[kywildcat41086]

Good game Cats I’ll see you Friday night….

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Reeves is releasing the ball quick, he will slow it down, but the ball is coming off his hands to quick

 

[SmyrnaCatFan]

The air stayed in the ball until the horn.

 

[The_Answer1313]

A Calzone lol

 

[JFCats22]

Sheppard has an overall game that DJ doesn't have.

Wagner had more steals and more assists….

 

[gharding07]

Burrrrks!!!

 

[ala_kat2]

Guess Cal forgot about the subs again. Should have put them in at 3:00 mark

 

[Fox2monk]

Burks is gonna be good if he stays around a bit.

 

[bbncal02]

OH YESSIR! A 40 point drumming! That's a way to open a season!

 

[fatguy87]

We looked pretty good with Edwards logging minutes at the 4.

Having 3 of Wagner, Dilly, Shep, and/or Reeves on the court gives us so much skill. They all can handle and stretch it.

 

[megablue]

What we have which we hsvent had in years is MULTIPLE options at guard when one is having an off night

All three (3) have played well tonight !!

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

40 point win, held them to 46(didn’t see that coming). Love what I saw from all the guards, theiros energy was great, Mitchell was better in the second. Hope theiro is okay. This team is gonna be really fun

 

[ala_kat2]

Exactly! Same thing I posted in another reply.

 

[zannmann]

Why didn’t Hart get any run with a thirty point lead?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Some won't be happy it was only 40. Great start to the season.

 

[bbncal02]

He did.....and I don't care. That was fun to watch.

 

[blue cincy]

I will take a 40 point win. Good 2nd half.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Looking forward to going to Rupp Friday night.
This team is exciting to watch.

 

[CincyUKFan]

Just give it up man. He passes the eye test. He's not gonna be a pro guard every night. And I really don't give two rat's patooties who starts as long as we win.

Give it up? Is this a competition?

As the season goes along, you will see that Wagner is not the guy. And then you’ll be reminded of this moment, and the interactions throughout this thread.

You can agree or disagree with that, but that’s exactly how things are going to go down.

He struggled mightily in this game, and his numbers were only salvaged by some garbage time buckets. He’s overrated, but Cal will stick with him because of his last name and our season is not going to be as good as it could be.

Why? Who gives a crap.

We have a young team. Give me more of the super frosh.

 

[drew_ukfan]

49-17 in the second half

 

[rob_47]

For the record I see we have tons of good gaurds I do in fact realize that but that doesn't negate the truth that some are still better than other from a pure basketball perspective. Both truths can exist. Stating my opinion that one is better than the other doesn't mean I am saying one isn't worth playing.

 

[bbncal02]

Why didn’t Hart get any run with a thirty point lead?

That's.....that's the concern? Come on.

 

[crawfords corner]

Not saying hes going anywhere just

Burks.... stay stay stay stay stay stay. That dude will be legit when he stays here.

 

[Fox2monk]

How much did they win by

I knew that UofL game was a bet all the way, I’m surprised they won but I knew there was no way they would win by 8. KP isn’t that dude and I hate to see him struggle but they suck.

 

[The_Answer1313]

lol people will complain about the subs but honestly it's game 1 of the season. Yeah this game was out of reach long ago but I still think you wanna run the starters a bit longer at the beginning of the year. They need all the game court time they can get early.
We play KU in 8 days.

 

[bbncal02]

How much did they win by

Not over yet. But they are up by 30.

 

[Fox2monk]

I like playing this team early, not world beaters but way above the 300 ranked comp we usually start out at.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Exactly! Same thing I posted in another reply.

I agree, he isn’t catching the ball cleanly and doesn’t get the correct release because of it

 

[WeWant9]

This team could be very fun to watch as the year goes on, would like to get two of the bigs back as soon as possible though.

 

[LmdCat]

If Cal forgot about his bench which is possible, his assistant coaches should have brought it to his attention.

Yep they need all the reps they can get.

They should of lost, UMBC had chances to win

Dude, just stop. We aren't doing this... First game of the year and you start this crap?? You're just plain miserable.

 

[KyLegacy]

Like what I’m seeing so far. Great game.

Hope thero is alright. Absolutely love watching Wagner, Dilly, Reed. Very curious how the 7fters are going to come in. Stoked for the rest of the season.

 

[Fox2monk]

Bradshaw will make this team really good IMO as long as he’s healthy and not too rusty. UGO will give us size we need, but Bradshaw is the dude who will take us to the next level IMO.

Where can one get this shirt at?

Do you have the lotto numbers too?
