Awesome game for him. He was working hard to guard Flagg, but also being very productive on offense. Love how he was aggressive after the game with the two and-ones.

Just win.

I don't think there's any reason to think of this team in terms of a best lineup. Or a certain squad of 5 guys. It's going to be different every game. Carr is likely going to be a very solid stat sheet stuffer all year, but Amari has a physical presence, defense, rebounding and maybe even passing skills that will give him the edge a lot of the time, too.

I mean, your best lineup is what finishes games. It can be different given matchups, so I get what you're saying. At the end of the day though, your best lineup needs to be on the floor the lions share of the time. I do see what you're saying, and it's a little bit of my philosophy with this teams minute distribution. I think the top 7 (starters, Kriisa, Brea) will probably all play between 25-30 mins/game. That leaves 25ish minutes to spread across basically Almonor and Garrison. I honestly don't think Chandler can play yet, at least against quality teams. Two years off creates a lot of rust.

I would be my Aunt Tilly's prosthetic leg that if Flagg played for Kentucky and scored 30 PPG, he still would not get the run from ESPN that he gets having that Duke jersey on. It's science....

Happy as hell we won. But, I really liked that Flagg kid. He didn’t come off as your typical Dook kid we have all come to dislike. Seems hard nosed at a very young age. He is the kind of kid I can root for, as long as they aren’t playing our Cats.
That is unless I missed something. Last 8 minutes of the first half was laying my son down and got back right at halftime. So maybe something happened I didn’t see.

I could never pull for a Dookie.

Reminded me of the Comeback Cats Part 2.....

Congratulations to Coach Brooks!

Excellent! Bravo to Coach Brooks and his staff. They are building something special at UK.

As Rush used to say....they've sent out the faxes....

'The Guardian announced Wednesday that they will no longer post from their editorial accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter, because tech mogul Elon Musk allegedly made it a “toxic media platform.”
The outlet claimed in a Wednesday editorial that the platform contains “disturbing content” that includes so-called “conspiracy theories” and “racism.” The editorial team has decided to promote their content elsewhere to avoid Musk’s alleged ability to “shape political discourse.” '

No - that's not obvious. If we played tomorrow, they might beat us right back. Then how would they rank us - tied?

The further the season goes on, you can't just rank the teams who won one week automatically ahead of the teams they beat because there are going to be other teams in there who beat them and vice versa.

You can in short sample size.
Right now if Duke goes to 11 Kentucky should be 10

What are adjustments, precious?

Every win from here on out is icing on the first year cake.

We got our coach and we have him for a long time.

Look at him. Pretty sure he was legally required to go to Duke.
