    The 2007-2008 Kentucky Wildcats basketball thread

    All I have to say is wow.

    Kentucky wins 99-64 in Gillispie's first game. Meeks scores 34 points on 7 of 9 from 3. Patterson's debut has 21 points and nine rebounds.

    I know its Pikeville college, but from what I have read, Kentucky really came out on a mission tonight.

    Patterson is going to be the real thing and I feel like Meeks will be the go-to guy(should have been last season).
    Ky really pushed the ball well tonight looking for outlets and breaking the press with fastbreaks. Hopefully they can do that when it starts for real.
    As I said, Meeks/Patterson will be steady, the question is "if" they can have the supporting cast. In other words, other than the guys some project as our starting five (Patterson,Meeks,Bradly,Crawford, and Stevenson),we got 5 points and 3 of those on a three with a few seconds left.

    An exciting UK team is just what the doctor ordered with the Bengals stinking up the joint and the Reds off for 5 months. I can't wait to watch them play.

    This game is allegedly on FSN at 7pm tonight (Thursday), by the way, UK fans. I say "allegedly". I've noticed over the years they are often listed, but something more important, such as international championship darts, or bratwurst eating, often preempts UK bball from the Big Blue Network feed onto FSN.

    Not to mention the dreaded blackout. I have my DVR set but I'm not optimistic about seeing it. These black outs are put on at the last minute sometimes.

    Meeks was ON FIRE last night from 3 point range (saw the highlights on SC). He made one three that was at least six feet behind the line.

    I honestly look for this to be Meeks last year at Kentucky. He will have a breakout year and will be a top ten pick on the NBA radar.

    Also, Chris Singleton, a top UK recruit, is down to Kentucky and Florida State and will announce November 14th his college choice. He is a 6'8 SF/PF with good three point range and is ranked 27th by Scout. This will give Kentucky three SF's if you include Liggins(who is more of a point forward), and Darius Miller.

    Really.

    I saw him as a 3 year player at least.

    Meeks really came on toward the end of last season. I can also see him coming out if he has the year under Gillispie most think he will.

    Lead us to the Final Four, Jodie, and I'll drive you to NYC for the draft myself.

    Would this be a good thread to mention Tubby Smith won his debut with Minnesota last night?

    Did they play well defensively, that is the question.

    Did they do a good job listlessly passing the ball around the top of the key, wasting the entire shot-clock, and then throwing it down low to the block for a shot attempt?

    Man I miss Tubby.

    They won easily. That's all that matters.

    No need to worry, WMR, plowhorse basketball will be alive and well in Minnesota this year. Subscribe to the Big Ten Network, and you'll see a whole bunch of it.
