Is this going to be on a local station?

I doubt that since it's on ESPN.

Damn I'm nervous. I'd love nothing more than KU come out of here with a W, but I won't be too upset if they lose. It's a great early season matchup. It's gonna make them a better team down the stretch and that the most important thing.

Going to be a great test. I think Kentucky wins based on experience but it'll be closer than people think.

Cliff Alexander is this year's Julius Randle.

Hoping to split the SEC games. Tonight would be nice but I'd bet we will lose by 11. They are tall inside and for the first time in a long time we are not.

73-62

Calipari doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing yet in terms of roster management this year. Kansas has a real chance of winning this game.

Count me in for "doubt we win" line.

I'm not too down about facing a UK team this early in the year. They're still figuring out what they're all about; we're going to be doing the same. I expect a close game, and don't really have an expectation of a win or a loss.

College basketball games in Nov. are meaningless.

Cliff has been probably the most productive player per minute. If he can stay out of foul trouble, look out. We are going to need them with UK's size.

Pretty much this.

Still fun. My hatred for Cal knows no bounds. If we could beat that Narcissist into the ground, it would feel great.

Self wiil have the boys ready to Go, not sure if we win. But it will be fun to watch and it doesn't cost us much this early in the year. Win and we probably pass Kencuky, lose and oh well we were supposed to lose to the greatest team ever in CBB. :D
