Skal had a good half offensively. Defensively isn't quite up to Davis/Noel/WCS, but he is a smart player and will improve. Good to see this kind of shooting touch, though!

Yeah, I'm disappointed. It's almost like he's coming back from a knee injury and hasn't played for a year.
Go figure.
something's up with Alex - even when he didn't play well before he at least looked.....connected
I made that point a few days ago. He just does not have the motor. He takes plays off. We have had ones like this in past and they hurt you more than help.
LOL Poy was the driving force to the championship game 2 years ago . . Poythress' problem is he only plays with fire half the time alot like Miller did . He will still be a draft pick and play in the league for a while but he isn't an alpha alot of the time . when he is though we are hard to beat.Right...
First season watching a UK team early in the year? Because if it is, outside of 2012, and there were even some fans then...this worry and comment arises every single year this early on...it's almost like ppl only remember the tournament
not too pretty a half of basketball. I do like we didn't allow NJIT to get us down too much. But best thing I saw - besides Skal - is that Murray didn't give up on his shot. But hey - I'll take an 8pt lead at the half; step up in the 2nd and put this thing away.
i think he'll play the starters for a while to start the half if we extend the lead. we need to get some in-game chemistry going with our starters. alex needs to wake up or sit out a couple more games. he is hesitant right now.
Buffalo was up by five at half and we all know how things went down after that in the next game.
Dude if you are seriously saying Poy hurts us more then helping us you are outta of your mind and have a very short memory. If we don't have him we lose to UL and Wisc in the tourney and if we had him last year I promise we win the title last year. as I said above he just needs to bring it more often . But he never hurts you really , just sometimes doesn't do much.
Yeah, I am not too confident myself. Duke not having any trouble scoring in their 1st two games (granted against bad teams), and our defense is poor so far. Not a good combination.
Skal Labissiere's first half vs. NJIT: 18 pts, 7-7 FG, 4 rebs, 2 blks
I think it still might be - there still seems to be a lot of jitters. That's concerning because we have such a big game coming up
I really depends on whether he brings it or not. He has the potential but, if you are in a game where you really need it and he takes plays off....
BTW, memory is very good.
yes he is - I'd say he was still timid because of the knee, but he didn't seem that way during exhibition. It could be any number of things. I'm worried about him.
awesome.
At the half, @KentuckyMBB leads NJIT 36-28 behind Labissiere's 18pts on 7-7 shooting with 4-4 FTs. Not bad Skal, not bad. #BBN

I knew it would be rough around the edges early on this year - I'm still not sold on our front line (except for Skal on offense) - our guard play has to get much, much better (and it will).
Maybe tired legs from the back to back schedule. We'll be fresher Tuesday after some rest.
Normal with several UK fans?...They tend to eat their own. Almost wonder if they even like the players or is it just the UK Logo?
Duke and K will play a more structured game were as we are more of a "make it up as you go" right now. I think Duke wins by 10 for this fact. Later in the year will be a different story.
I think Murray's going to use this game as motivation for the Duke game. Can't see him having two bad games in a row. Good thing for us is I don't think Duke has anyone that can stop Skal. Bad thing is Duke has a lot of shooters, so if they are hitting, we will be in trouble.
I'm not bashing Alex - you have seen my posts and should know better than that. I'm genuinely concerned for him. I don't think he's out there deliberately trying not to play, I think there is something wrong.
