Sexton is the best freshman in the conference that doesn't play for Missouri. Also, hope Kansas beats UK by 30.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I'm watching just to see the FRESHMEN hype!!

I'm hoping so too! The way UK has played recently leads me to believe that's its a definite possibility too! It's tough for me to say but...

Go JayHawks!

[Biggus Piggus]

In an eating contest, it is clear that Michigan State would eat Duke.

Don't worry, Kansas will win. Have you seen Kentucky play this year?

Watched them play Vermont on Sunday. I've said all off season that this will not be one of the better Kentucky teams.

[Pumbaa]

Great game with Duke and MSU battling it out. Bama struggling to put Lipscomb away.

I think Kansas will put it to Kentucky tonight if Kentucky plays like they have the first two games of the year.

Agree with the Kansas victory, but Kentucky will not be easy this year. As always, Cal's guys will take a bit to mesh with so many new faces.

I wouldn't say always. They didn't spend much time ranked with Archie Goodwin. And it took till tourney time to get it rolling with Randle and company (given they were National runner-up as an 8 or 9 seed I believe).

[Pumbaa]

Always have the potential to start clicking though, I will agree with that. Here's to hoping they never do this year!

[maxhog5]

So far looks like the Kentucky freshmen are having trouble with the speed of the game.  Slow to transition to defense and Kansas coming up with every loose ball.

[ShadowHawg]

Kentucky getting very few loose balls.

[hawgball40]

eff kentucky. that is all.

[Atlhogfan1]

KU outrebounding UK 13-6. 6 Off Rebs. 

UK only 1 3pt attempt.

Rebounding I think is part of the speed of the game thing.  Getting beat to the spot.  May also have something to do with freshmen getting out muscled by men.

[ShadowHawg]

eff kentucky. that is all.

Dilly! Dilly!

Announcers mention strength of SEC this year. Talk about FLorida, Missouri, and Alabama but not a word about Arkansas. Dickie v is a little prick.

Frontrunner

i don't follow

[BannerMountainMan]

Dickie V is there for the publicity..says the same things over and over.."this kid was huge scorer in high school", well freaking duh idiot he plays for Kentucky

[maxhog5]

Neither Kentucky or Kansas has impressed me other than the fact Knox can flat out score.

[Atlhogfan1]

KU sloppy with turnovers and shot selection.  Not getting to the line much either. They are killing UK still on the boards.

Wasn't well played half.

Frontrunner is someone who is a huge fan of whoever is winning now.

A frontrunner would be a fan of the Patriots, Astros, and the Warriors right now.

[ShadowHawg]

Kansas has been able to penetrate at will. They don't have finishers or they would be killing Kentucky.

Kansas is 8-23 in the paint. Kentucky has taken 25 shots total.

[old_school_hawg]

So far, I ain't skeered of Kentucky....OR Kansas. I truly feel confident for the first time in years that we can beat anyone... Not just on any given damn day, either. WPS!!! So excited for this season! Hope this season marks our return to true prominence.

[rzrbackramsfan]

UK and KU don't look good.

[BadHog]

Go KU. Shut up Dicky V

[ShadowHawg]

Kansas wins. They only had 7 scholarship players available tonight. Their best inside guy was held out of the game.

Kentucky has yet to sustain good effort for even a full half yet in the 3 games I have watched. Not an easy fix after a season is under way.

Mich st. Has a lot of big uglies.  UK to me just isn't real good yet.  If they had a great coach to go with great recruiter, UK would be best ever. But cal is not ever go in to be confused with being a great coach. 

Of the 4 teams I saw tonight, I think we could beat UK, KU  rather easily.  Mich st would give us trouble inside right now with all the beef they have.  I think we'd match up well with duke and it'd be a gimme, whoever had the ball at the end.  But, good news is, I haven't felt like we could compete with anyone in the nation like this in a long time.  Goodtimes are coming!

[returntoglory]

UK is LONG. That scares me. But they are fairly undisciplined, but that Knox kid can flat out play. KU made stupid turnovers all game. They looked lazy with their passes, which surprised me from a Bill Self team. I don't think we saw KU's best effort last night, and we probably saw UK play the best full game of the "young" season.

I think the hogs have come a long way since last year, but I am still going to reserve judgment on being able to roll over UK. They have athletes and will have time to gel by the time they face us.

[hawgball40]

wenyen gabriel looked like KD on that one long 3 he made, and then dissappeared offensively. Kentucky seemed to be really selfish with the ball.

Now Duke on the other hand, they are really good. Those freshman look legit, especially duvall and gary trent junior. bagley is impressive minus on the block, he was getting pushed around prior to his injury, not only in last nights game but in their season opener as well.
