Glad the stream lasted the whole game this time. Thanks again, Fish!

Wasn't expecting to win by so much with the way the first half went. Excited for the real thing next week.

Any word on the status of Krivas for tonight? Looked around and haven't found any info. And yes, I've already made my picks for RAP.

I looked before I posted the RAP prices and all I saw was that he “might” play. Guessing it will be a game time decision. No use playing him if he’s not 100%.

I’m excited to see the new guys and to see what Bradley & Love’s tandem game is going to look like this season. If they’re setting each other up, that bodes very well.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

pumped for the start of MBB - especially after that FB game Saturday!

Really liking what I saw so far in the exhibition games and on paper, but my expectations are a bit tempered after last year.

Seems like the team meshes better overall and we've got a deep lineup!

I'm always thinking that it will be a slightly more marginal AZ team that gets back to the FF. That is, not one that begins the season ranked in the top 5. I think starting ranked 10-15 is right where we wanna be, particularly in this first season in the B12.

The true game tonight will be the Zags against Baylor but really excited to see how this team plays with a bit more pressure on it and how the new Hennri and the new guys do.

Don't expect him to play at all even though he is physically ready. Speculation is that Lloyd will hold him out until the Wisky game.

Veesaar deserves his minutes until then.

This game today should be over after the 2nd TV timeout. But their coach is decent and very experienced.

I can't believe there is even a line. I saw a post yesterday that the UA's chances of winning is 99.7%

I don't understand gambling, so what does UA -6500 mean? You win $6.50 on a straight up hundred dollar bet?

You have to bet $6500 to win $100. +6500 would mean you bet $100 to win $6500

Turns out that wasn't a game at all. It's very difficult to do preseason ratings in this era but Baylor brought in a lot of new pieces and accordingly lost a lot from last year's team. If last night was a true indication the Bears could be in trouble and a hot take would be that they might be unranked heading in to conference play.

Games coming up against:

A rebuilt Arkansas roster/Cal.
A possibly emerging St John's crew/Pitino.
Lose or Win that game and its Tennessee or UVa next.
And UConn.

The Bears dropped 15 KP spots following the Gonzaga game. I can't remember that big of a drop following game 1, or really any game super early in the season when KP's ratings are still significantly affected by last season's performance.

On Arizona: who knows. Canisius is terrible. ODU is better but not great. At Wisky should tell us something.

I rarely get to watch games live since I work on second shift, and live on the east coast. I do watch the games, but by replay. I am definitely going to schedule the first week of March Madness off.

I look at this team and they look impressive. However, they have looked that way every year under CTL, only to come back down to earth as the season progresses. These are young adults, and some lose their dedication as they become more accustomed to college life, and away from home.

I can't wait for the next few weeks as I am anticipating how this team will perform. I do like what I'm seeing. I think our second team is almost as good as the first. We go 9 deep. And Krivas is working his way back into game form. I think this is CTL's best team. Definitely their best defensive team. But we shall soon see.

Looking forward to watching the Wisconsin game. Let's see how they do on the road. Our first real test.

I know it's early but it seems like Deliroll AKA Butthead AKA Dell'Orso has passed Martinez in the rotation.

Me too. Need a Keshad Johnson, which we dont have, so guessing Townsend will get a go.

Flagg gets a ton of calls and I saw at least two flops from other Dukies. Duke has shooters in many positions and off the bench. They will be tough. Now Kansas is a different story. They had a bad shooting night tonight but what I noticed is they are very slow getting back and we play fast. Dickinson is slow and we need to make him run. Some good yardsticks coming up starting on Friday.

Dukies 4-23 3 PT will do that.

Kriisa has not attempted a 2 point shot all season, nor attempted a free throw.

If I knew Kriisa transferred to UK I certainly forgot it. Kind of surprised to see him go to a place where he would finish his career coming off the bench.

Lloyd could try that but the dude is 6'9". Might work tho and Duke is tall/long at most spots. Maybe we can check up small get in their grills and cause problems. Or maybe Veesaar has become a better defender than I remember. Think we're going to miss Johnson as the season wears on but there is a reason you play the games.
