Anyone catch the woopin' Kentucky put on Kansas last night? Contrast the two highlight videos. 1st one is by Kentucky & the 2nd by Kansas.

Kansas to be ranked #5 is an absolute joke. Kentucky has by far the most talented players but they haven't much team chemistry yet. Not as much as they will by February anyway. For Kansas to only score 12 points in the second half tells you they have no business being in the top 20. An NAIA school put up more points on Kentucky last week.

Is U of A expected to be any good this year? Who do we have?

Brandon Ashley, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Stanley Johnson. Probably all future pros for Zona.

Hollis-Jefferson impressed me a lot last yr, although you could tell how raw he was.

I liked Hollis-Jefferson a lot last year. Look forward to seeing what he can do this season.

Oh yea. We will be good Mori.

Kansas being #4 is not a joke, they have a ton of talent up and down their roster. Their biggest weakness is at pg, and let's be serious, no one in the country can really match up with Kentucky's size and depth at all positions. There is a reason that Kentucky is ranked #1 to start the season.

Arizona is ranked 2, not as deep as Kentucky but I think they may be better

We have, arguably, the best starting lineup in the nation.

I like that Kaminsky guy from Wisconsin. He was so good in the tournament last year.

Um, thanks for reminding me about that 1 point Elite 8 overtime loss, Mori. We need a hair-pulling out emoji..

I know, blasphemy. But he was so dominant in that game. I am interested to see what he does in the pros.

I love the fact that Sabonis' son is playing for Gonzaga.

Ever since Butler shot about 5% in the championship game I haven't been able to watch college basketball.

Couldn't be a bad as when Georgetown beat Kentucky, 53-40, in the '85 Final Four. Kentucky made only 24.5 percent of its shots overall, and incredibly, hit only 3 of 33 attempts in the second half when none of its starters made a field goal. NBA first round picks Sam Bowie and Mel Turpin, were 3-10 and 2-11 from the field, respectively (disrepectively?) Egad ...

Well this one was UCONN 53 Butler 41 and Butler was 12-64 from the field for 18.8% UCONN lit up the nets to the tune of 34.5%

Geez. Glad I missed that one.

I saw a half of the Kentucky-Georgetown game and that was brutal, seeing the Wildcats' two big guys-- 7-1 and 6-11 -- put post play back about a half century.

UofA and Gonzaga are playing right now, it's on ESPN2 and WatchESPN.com, Gonzaga has a 1 point lead with 6 min to go in the 1st half.

keep thinking Cauley-Stein would be a good late 1st round pickup for us. Not much offense, but some good defensive energy. Some better depth at the C

Yeah, I'm a big fan.

Big win for UofA. But our offense flat stinks sometimes. Hehe.
