Yea I was really unimpressed with Duke. They could not score and I don't think it was because UK's D was that good it was because they had no go to scorers. And whenever Thorton wasn't in the game they struggled to get into their offense. If they are number 5 then we are number 4. We could take them on a neutral court. As for UK their guards are great and are only going to get better. But they are thin down low. Foul trouble will be their demise.

Just another case of preseason rankings meaning squat?

I think so. That's why I don't care if the Cats are ranked in the preseason. After winning games in November and December then we should be wanting that top 25 spot.

Nah, means nothing on the court but off the court it means everything

FSU frosh Malik Beasley has now scored 20+ in each of his three career games

Just watched Wisconsin and Georgetown...IMO we would handle both.

Eerily similar to his AAU career. Lots of big games that end with the other team celebrating...

Yeah I'm guessing he'll win more games than Elijah Stewart and Chris Perry, but way less than it could've been here. Hopefully Bashir Ahmed pays attention to that.

Watching VCU and duke and duke is not impressive at all they have no star power this year what so ever. Luke kennard looks awful VCU looks ok ally cox is a beast, I think I'd rather see deberry playing against him than Ellis.

Given the situation with Perry and his mother, I can't blame him for staying home and close to her. Would have been a nice get though...

Good to see the suckeyes lose.

Xavier up on Mighigan at half. I really wish they would lose. But I'm sure they won't. Screw those guys.
