Just between you and I, he is the missing link for this team. We lost Chuck Hayes. Again.
No he isn't. Everyone appreciates the player Oscar was but it was time for him to move on. This team will have a different style of play, and Oscar would clog things up. His style wouldn't fit. He's a defensive liability, can't stretch the floor on offense, and often took on three defenders down low and got stripped instead of kicking it back out.

He’s just a one dimensional player. If that one dimension is absent, the he’s absolutely useless. He is incredibly slow, doesn’t box out or rebound well, and doesn’t defend well in the post or when his man shoots from the perimeter.

If we don’t have another big for Kansas, there is very little hope for a win. And yes, he would absolutely have to have a 4/6 from three game for us to have a chance.
Do you like any player on this roster?

We hear the same nonsense every year. Some of you guys were trying to claim Evansville was a Sweet 16 caliber team. NM State won't even make the tournament.
Probably not. But they aren't UMBC nor North Carolina Central. We play those games and we here "WAH! Why are we playing shitty teams!" KU beats up on one and we are over here kissing their ass.
 
Kentucky is missing a entire front court
And probably will be for most of the season, if history is any indication. You gotta win with the team you got. With our length and speed, we should be pressing most of the game - take advantage of their short bench

And how would anyone know anything about them? They are 12 new players with a new coach after shutting it down early last season. Probably a trash team.
 
The line is 15.5 according to ESPN. Up 8 right about where it should be based off of that.

The O/U is 141.5.... Currently at 66
 
bwahahahahahaha

UNC score is a typo, the rest are stupidly laughable
Stupidly laughable? Were they down at halftime or not?! Answer that dude and quit moving goal posts.

We're up by 8 shooting less than 40%. If we lose, I'll be bitching with you. Until then.....
 
Shep is a better basketball player than DJ Wagner. I think DJ will struggle at this level until he evolves his game a bit. The oddsmakers gave Reed better preseason NPOY odds than Wagner, for some perspective.

They have long athletic dudes.
But fortunately they cant shoot.
 
Not my typo. The rest were accurate. My point stands. It's the very first game of the season. Let's take a damn breath.
I know it wasn’t your mistake. Just pointing out the correct score. And you are correct, let’s not panic.
