Kansas has a lot of **** they need to figure out right now, but when they do, they might become the best team in the country. Harris, McCullar, and Dickinson is about as good as it gets for a trio to start with, they need to figure out who to fill in around them. They definitely have the players/athletes.

I feel like this becoming more common in college bball with all the transfers, teams struggle a little bit early on to figure out their rotation.

That’s fair, but there’s a lot of teams that can make that case. No team really stands out this year. It looks like Bill Self quit drinking or whatever. He’s noticeably thinner and less bloated in the face. Hopefully he won’t have to bail in March again. He delivers too many laughs.

This team looks absolutely loaded. How is Sheppard not in both the starting and closing lineups? How are they going to find playing spots for three 7-footers?

UK looks great but we need to keep in mind Miami's D was ranked #101 coming into this game. that said, not taking anything away from this electric UK performance tonight in Rupp

kid prob wants to live the rock star life in Lexington

Kentucky kid who dreamed of playing for the Cats

i think they said his mom starred for the Lady Cats (and did his dad go to UK too?)

no rush. live your childhood dream and stay awhile. playing for UK isn't far from NBA vibes anyway (at least when i was younger that was the case....King Rex and all)

247 had Sheppard at #43 overall (****) in this class. Dillingham was #16 (*****). It's their three highest-rated five stars that haven't showed out yet (or at all):

#3 Justin Edwards
#4 Aaron Bradshaw (Inj)
#6 DJ Wagner

Reed ****ing Sheppard. Been following him for a while and never imagined he would be this good this early. All I know is if he sticks around he is going to rake in all the NIL money.

I'm all for more UK basketball players to start breeding future stars. Rhyne Howard and Anthony Davis, you know what you have to do.

Crazy. Rick Barnes' first scholarship offer as a head coach (at George Mason) was to Hubert Davis.

UNC just have some unstoppable offense or something? Not watching but UNC not even shooting just insane from 3. Only 43% but they just score every possession.

Tenn fell behind early, and they haven't really played with a ton of effort since.

With that said, Heels passing the ball very well, generating turnovers, and overall, simply looking like the better squad.

Still 20 minutes to go. Hopefully we don't relax.

16 of 16 from the stripe helps (48.5 FTR)

told my text group the fact that we have 4 legit ball handlers will be key. so far it has been

like heels said tho, cbb games are 40 mins not 20 mins. we can bring up the tape of the KU title game to be reminded of that fact

He can shoot and he can finish.

But we should probably know they are going corner 3 off of the under basket inbound at this point.
