I wasn't able to watch any of the game. Other than than the win, was there anything positive I can take from the game?

They were able to come back from about 9 points down with about 5 minutes to play. I guess you can say they didn't give up.

that is a good sign but being down at all to an average team. Let's hope the SEC is down this year.

No injuries... at least from what I saw but my connection was going in and out during mid/late 2nd half.

Key played really well down the stretch. Made some big baskets and drew a charge that was huge. We kinda ran our offense through him. It looked like he was guarding the point on D too on some possessions. He's got really good footwork. Gonna be a stud.

Couldn't watch the game unfortunately. Glad we won, but geez...another poor offensive performance.

The offensive flow was there in the 2nd half. We just didn't have the execution. We attacked the zone well, but struggled to make the final passes and shots needed to score. We also didn't take some of the open shots we should have taken.

Player summary: Key is going to be a stud. Davis is going to give me cancer. King could be "the guy". The potential is there.

It is nice to see King finally look like he remembers how to play basketball again. I wish he'd drive more and quit settling for so many 3s though.

Time for some optimism in this bitch. We got a top 5 class coming in next year guys. Coach Avery--aka "the general"-- knows what it takes to pull this out of his arse and rally the troops. We got this guys. Braxton Key is our savior, Corban Collins will start banking 3s, and defenses won't know what hit 'em with Dazon. We shall overcome

As bad as the past couple of games have been, I'm ready for more basketball.

Hopefully our guys come out aggressive and put Charleston Southern away early and go into the Texas game with more emotion and aggressiveness than when they went to Vegas.

I know we lost to Dayton but we didn't look terrible against them, we just didn't look good. So besides that tourney in Vegas we're 1-1 and haven't been that bad. Maybe that tourney being in Las Vegas got us distracted and being in a quiet dead arena live on YouTube just got us off track I'm ready for the next game. I expect us to play a lot better now that we're starting to get a lineup set. Key is gonna lead us to a postseason tourney, hopefully the NCAA.

Welp I'm convinced. Ready to win 28 straight to end the regular season.

OT: That guy calling the game on Youtube was good at his job.

they look more like just a bunch of guys than a team.


I think the guys from last year are still stuck in the mode that all they had to do was give the ball to Retin and he would bail them out. We don't have that guy this year, so these guys are trying to figure out who the go to guy is. Its going to take a while. then you throw in all the new guys and you have the makings of almost a completely new team. Now while that works for UK with 5 stars everywhere, it takes a while for the common folk.

Somebody told me Dazon is shooting over 65% but is like fifth or sixth on the team in shot attempts. I know Avery probably wants him to distribute as the point guard, but he needs to attack more.

So I'm just casually browsing DraftExpress Mock Draft for 2018, as you do at 2 in the morning, and guess who I see sitting there as the 33rd best prospect. Donta Hall. I thought I've seen flashes of what could potentially be a future NBA rotation big, but I never expected that.

Colin Sexton is 7th in the mock btw.

What do y'all think about Key? Looking at box scores, it looks like he needs to be more involved.
