I was really impressed with Juwan Gary even though he made some mistakes and missed some easy shots. He was in the right places to make plays. I think in the future he's gonna be a good player.


Agree - our inexperienced guys haven't always made all the right plays, but they play really hard and seem to know what to do and contribute where they can. Ellis, Gary and KAH all have done this really well

I think they are good, but I’m skeptical of this Missouri club.

Great thing about Oats - he's brutally honest about stuff like this. He doesn't pussy foot around things that everyone sees.

Boy Auburn is a damn good team since Cooper showed up. Thor has exploded, and they don't even have the white kid from Kentucky kid playing.

Yeah I’m not too pumped about playing them again if they continue to stay hot.

I’m just about to the point of thinking Tennessee is/was overrated. I mean, they’re good, but they were top 10 preseason and supposed to run away with the league. I’m not seeing that from them. They are top 25 and formidable on a given night but I don’t think they are really a threat to make a deep tournament run.

I don't care how many games UK has lost, they're still a loaded roster and they came in with their backs against the wall. They played hard, and obviously learned from the first game. It's ok to give them some credit.

Gary played great but still looks like his knee is bothering him, he was limping badly at times. He is probably the best dunker on our team, no way he misses that Alley Oop if he was close to 100%.

They just really struggle on offense because they don't have many guys who can create their own offense and Fulky has basically been non-existent.

They're still a good team but their margin for error is super slim. They badly need Springer to get back up to 100%.

I agree he's our best dunker, but that was a bad pass. He probably just should have tried to lay it in.
