Just a reminder. The line was 15-18 depending.

 

[wkucat88]

Color commentator sounds like Chris Collinsworth.

It's his illegitimate child, Dane Bradshaw.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Now with FIVE in double figures!

 

[rob_47]

Delete this. You look like an idiot

No. I dont care what you think. I honestly believe Reed is a better player and would get the best of Dj more times than not if they were matched up against one another. I am glad they are both on our team but Dj is more likely to struggle against experienced gaurds than Reed is. Book it.

 

[megablue]

We are not showing the high ball screen for Mitchell tonight. Saving it ...

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

It’s refreshing to know Kentucky has guards who can create and are shifty again, we haven’t had that in a while

Yep.
Only one game but definitely a good sign. Means either New Mexico St is overrated, we are underrated or maybe a combo of both lol.

Both will play a lot. DJ has a gear Sheppard doesn't have, and I love Sheppard

 

[fatguy87]

Edwards is great off the ball. His handle has been a little loose, but he is active and finishes. I like him at the 4 as it allows 3 of Shep/Dilly/Wagner/Reeves to be on the court.

 

[bbncal02]

We’ve had two exhibitions in the games in Canada. It’s abundantly clear that he’s not the best guy to start at point. And scoring a bunch of points in garbage time doesn’t change anything

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.

I guess the NBA will tell us the complete story.

 

[blue cincy]

Mitchell is 1 point away from having 6 guys in double digits.

 

[crawfords corner]

WTF are some of you talking about 🤣

Wagner is 5 for 8 inside the arc. Has 4 assists to 1 turnover. Has 3 steals while playing aggressive defense and committed only 1 foul. Ok, so hes only 1 for 5 from 3. This is also the first time he's had to guard his ass off like this.

 

[LmdCat]

People ready to throw DJ in the trash after not playing great in his first game lol.

People are just stating obvious observations.

10000% this ^^^^^

15.5 at tip. Easy cover

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Just a reminder. The line was 15-18 dependinFree money k took that

Free money I took that earlier along with a couple of others and it hit like a hour ago

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

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

[Dontworryboutit23]

Isn’t the team Friday like really bad

This. That's what some on here can't figure out.

 

[bbncal02]

Hard to say this early.

 

[JFCats22]

Man, three point shooting is frustrating. Missing some WIDE open looks

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Ight put the backups in cal it’s time

 

[The_Answer1313]

Isn’t the team Friday like really bad

Yes. Worse than New Mexico St.

 

[HenryMuto]

How come we didn't get Dickenson again ?

 

[bbncal02]

Isn’t the team Friday like really bad

Yes. Texas A&M played them tonight.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Thiero still not on the bench.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Hard to say this early.

yep. Only one data point to go on but this has obviously been good.

 

[bbncal02]

How come we didn't get Dickenson again ?

$$$$$$$$$$$$ and he hates Kentucky. He kinda dissed his relatives here.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Nice 3 from Dilly

 

[LmdCat]

Both will play a lot. DJ has a gear Sheppard doesn't have, and I love Sheppard

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

 

[Fox2monk]

Rob is breaking out his bag this half. Love to see it.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Dilly Dilly

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yes. Texas A&M played them tonight.

How much did they win by

 

[The_Answer1313]

LOL I think Cal forgot to put the bench in.

 

[LmdCat]

He will learn to take better shots

I hope so.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Guard play wins the tournament. We got a good trio of em'

 

[crawfords corner]

We've easily got the guard play.

 

[ala_kat2]

Reeves needs to take a little more time on his threes. He rushes the shot too many times when it’s not needed.
