Kentucky lost

[Larkin]

Always appropriate in this forum when the kittens lose...
I figured there would be more enthusiasm though
Richmond wasn’t as bad as Evansville but at least it shows ky may not be that great this year

Always a good day when coach cal and Kensucky lose

 

[Larkin]

It is really the only game that made me smile this weekend. How awful is that?

I like it far more when KY loses in the conference rather than OOC. However I tend to not be disappointed when they beat Florida or the cheaters at Auburn and LSU.

When they lose at home to Evansville its quite hilarious.

The only sports pleasure possible right now is UK losing then a visit to Rupps Rafters.

Richmond was 24-7 and they beat Vandy, Wisconsin and Boston College, last year. So, it's no where near as bad of a loss as Evansville was last year

richmond better than evansville.

spiders are very experienced and were playing very good basketball at the start of 2020 and were picked to win A10 this yeafr
dont klnow if the the A10 vote came AFTERA Spiders lost Nick Sherrod (a senior and double figure scorer)) who blew his knee out in pre-season drills.

SLU win over LSU wasnt a surprise either, and I enjoyed that even more

Its becoming the norm for KY to look like crazy for the beginning of the season as they turn over the roster to a new group of freshman year after year.

If they are losing in January and February, then I'm really happy

 

[kyvol98]

Spiders are picked to win a good A-10 conf

 

[Boca Vol]

UK looked horrible yesterday.

UK has an early loss every year, wouldn’t necessarily try to draw a season long conclusion off this one game.

Yeah not anywhere close to Evansville. Richmond will be a tourney team. I could see them being anywhere from a 7-12 seed too, and with quick guards they're a candidate for a surprise S16 run.

No one is...but its always fun to see them lose games they should win. Richmond is a good team though.

I'm a SLU Alum so I was pleased with their win. This may be their best team in years. A10 will be interesting and Richmond was the preseason pick. Can't wait to see Vols hoops team start playing especially since the football team sucks again.

The OP literally stated “they may not be that great this year”...they may or may not be, but I wouldn’t decide either way based off that one game against a very good and experienced A10 team.

SLU has been filling Chaifetzt (sp?) Arena for years. Wouldn't be suprised if A10 sent at least 3 theams to NCAA tourney. Joe Lunardi always seem to discount league's strength

It's always fun to watch them lose games they should lose too.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Yes it’s early but their guards don’t look nearly as quick.

BJ Boston and Clarke are definitely one & dones.

Sarr doesn’t really impress me.

I don't think they'll be as good as recent years, but they'll still be talented and they will get better as the season goes along, they always do.

 

[Roustabout]

For those that think we are going to come out of the gate like a an elite 8 team, pump the brakes

 

[JRVOL11]

Boston is not quick at all. He’s solid though, i like Clarke’s game a lil more.

I pull for Kentucky over Vandy.

I am thinking we come out of the gate like a round of 32 team.

This team wasn't going to make the tourney, and while there is no question the new additions add important pieces, a lot of these guys have never played college ball, or it's been a while, or not at this level.
Anosike is a lot shorter than I expected. Maybe 6'4"
