Next up, Kentucky. God I hate the idea of losing to Calipari.

Glad to know I'm not the only Uconn fan on this site. The only fun I have is trashing all the Syracuse fans here.
Unfortunately I only caught bits and pieces of the Mich St. game, but what a great win. Let's hope this gives them confidence to hopefully contend in the BE.
I will also say I'm shocked ,I didn't see Walker being this good.
Bring on Kentucky!

Excellent thread! Looking forward to following!
Kemba is freaking ridiculous - I watched him when he was in high school, and his speed was just at another level. He looked like Brett Gardner playing basketball, only if Brett Gardner was black, right-handed, and good at basketball.

Super comparison. I'm surprised I didn't think of that.

I've got the game recorded and just started watching so I'll be doing some tape-delayed live blogging.
Really nice start. Great to see Giffey knock down a deep jumper.

Also, very surprising to see JC and Calipari schmoozing before the game.

Wow, is Terrence Jones really this good? That dunk was ridiculous.

Really nice pass from Giffey. Great start for him.

Kemba's jumper seems improved (especially mid-range off the dribble) but I hope he doesn't fall in love with the 3 ball.

I love, love, love that they're pressing more this year than they have recently. Napier and Walker can cause a lot of havoc in the backcourt, especially against teams with shaky PG play.

Oriakhi is a monster. What an improvement from last year.

Napier is going to be fun to watch. Not a lot of teams are going to be able to match up with the quickness of him and Kemba.

Give me a break. I don't need a picture in picture of ****ing Calipari during the game.

I remember Oriakhi looking like he didnt even belong on a basketball court last year, now he looks like a beast against some very talented teams. Very impressed with him so far and he could be a big key to how far they go this year.

Kemba is clearly the best basketball player ever, right? I mean, there's no doubt about it (hit two threes then the pass to JCM).

Up 15 with 16 to play. I kind of wish the clock would run faster.

Really surprised Calhoun left Napier in the game after that terrible 3. He must really believe in Napier.

OK, enough with the fouling 3-point shooters.

Wowow. Blowing out No. 9 on an off night for Kemba Walker. Not too bad.
