Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

The NCAA decided that UK has to deal with Dez Wells Friday night. That should make things more interesting.

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

I'm glad the NCAA got it right for once... Sad it even had to be appealed.

Sad that Xavier screwed him over in the first place.

Was just watching Spurs/Clips. Bledsoe is playing out of his mind right now.

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

Could Bledsoe end up being better than Wall????

Surely not, but he has definitely had the better NBA career so far...

I watch A LOT of pro hoops, and what I've seen from Wall, he needs to be on a team where he isn't the main option. He can put up numbers on a crap team, but he doesn't really make the Wizards better. He would be a perfect fit for a balanced team like Indiana or Miami (or the Clips if Paul leaves via FA) where he would have a lot of weapons and do what he does best. If he's your top scorer your team isn't very good. If he's a pure point and facilitator and second or third option he'd be nails. He's a very good player but I don't see him being a superduper star like a lot of people thought he would be.

Bledsoe's probably in the Top 3 pure athletes in the league

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

Well, things start "FOR REAL" tonight...

I saw a line favoring UK by 10.5 over the Terps...

That seems a bit high to me with so many freshmen playing their first real college game ever, but these guys in Vegas usually know their stuff.

Excited to see this new team continue to grow.

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

Cal and the team ended up raising about a million dollars for the Hurricane Sandy victims.

Really awesome that Cal uses his platform at UK to do things like this.

QFT.

He's the most unique basketball coach in the game today.

There's not another like him.

Does he know Hurricane Sandy isn't a 6'10 power forward?

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

This is the worst rebounding game for a UK team I can remember. Ever.

Re: UK Basketball 8th Edition

So is Polson gonna be the new Jorts? That was a sloppy but entertaining game to watch...and that big dude for the Terps is legit.
