Who y'all got tonight? I'm going with RockChalk Jayhawk and the Dukies.

REM08 · 11-13-2012, 07:06 PM

I'll take MSU and Duke. Think MSU will come out mad about last weeks loss and think Kentucky's current ranking has much more to do with the future than the present. Also no Ryan Harrow could hurt. Fun night for this early in the year though!

UFSECKINGS · 11-13-2012, 07:38 PM

Agreed. Should be a fun night. Game 1 is surprisingly higher scoring than I thought it would be this far.

REM08 · 11-13-2012, 08:39 PM

Apparently neither Kansas nor MSU recruit a player unless he looks like he's well into his thirties.

When did Kid n Play sign with UK?

There is nothing worse than the man crush dick vitale has on Cal. And I thought he had it bad for Coach K.

I don't follow the draft, so it's interesting to watch all these new players drafted by the Kitties. They are, no doubt, talented. We'll see how their perimeter defense matches up against the Gator shooters. Hope there is something to exploit on the perimeter.

I'm thinking the experience factor is going to come into play tonight with Kentucky/Duke.

This is a fun game to watch. It is November so a win or a loss isn't that important as long as your team gets better. We will be pretty good in March but anything this team can give us is a cherry on top.

^^^ Agreed. Have to see growth and progress as the SEC part of the schedule approaches. Win or lose, we're seeing things that are getting exposed. Areas for practice to say the least.

Loved Cal's comment at the half though.

HALLGATOR · 11-13-2012, 10:53 PM

Duke's shooting percentage is bad

**alietigator** · 11-13-2012, 10:59 PM

UKs kids are talented, but I hope no one is expecting dominance the way they had last year. This time last year, UK was almost as good as they were at the end of the year. PG play is the big lacking area. Overall athleticism leading to the amazing defense of last year is not on the same level by any means.

dailydoublecat · 11-13-2012, 11:05 PM

We will struggle early but be damn good late in the year.

gatordavisl · 11-13-2012, 11:15 PM

It's oh so nice to see Uk struggle against a smart team. Diaper dandies can only be so good.

HALLGATOR · 11-13-2012, 11:15 PM

Anthony Davis was a huge difference maker last year. His loss can't be underestimated.

dailydoublecat · 11-13-2012, 11:17 PM

Duke kicking our asses lol. Interested to see if we fight or if it gets worse

Dead on post except for that second sentence. Last years november team was a mess, especially at point guard. Would get trounced by the April team. Freshmen laden teams have more room to grow than older teams.

Glad to see Kentucky is beatable this year. This group definitely doesn't have the same feel. Only the 2nd game in but I remember watching that UK group last year and could tell they'd be special.

Its november against a top 10 team that starts 3 seniors and a junior. Im yet to be surprised.

This is why college basketball is the best. I love these November and December games!! We are right where we should be early in the year. I'm happy!!
