Was Kentucky planning on playing 3 footers at the same time? I wish, but I doubt that. It’d be a fast break blowout.
That’s what Kentucky fans believe will be their route to victory tonight: run, run, run and leave plodder Dickinson in the dust. Kentucky starters are all averaging double digits in scoring, but against NM St and TxAM-Commerce. Coach Cal hasn’t played very many guys during their first two games.
your right I think he or so they said had been playing 7 guys right now because of the injuries. --they wanna run - - -let’s run
-
We go as Juan goes. Good Juan = W and bad = L.
Their board is talking about how he’s weak with the ball, not a good on ball defender and their guards can take advantage of him.
They are partially right in their analysis. Juan isn’t that quick laterally and he isn’t strong with the ball (it’s not like steph curry on a string) but his 7 foot reach or whatever it is makes up for it with reach in steals and deflected passes.
Hunter, KJ, Kev will all do their thing but it hinges on our Veteran guard.
Be nice to see Elmarko get 10 or Furphy see some shots go down….I think those two step up and aren’t afraid of the bright lights.
I also think uk’s guards won’t be afraid of the bright lights either. These guys plays big games in aau ect them playing tonight isn’t some entirely new atmosphere
-
They can only run, run, run with our help on missed shots and turnovers.
-
Think Elmarko shows up big tonight. Competing against a bunch of his peers that he’s played against for a while

It’s alsp kinda funny if your on their board that how many of them are making up reasons for them losing if it happens, talking about their short bench and how this game is really nott hat big of a game - like they are already conceding defeat

Can’t win if DaJuan plays poorly?
I recall a game, oh, it was in April as I recall, a Monday night, I think it was in the Superdome, opponent just was called UNC, so I don’t know if they were good or anything but Juan scored 2 points, he had 4 turnovers, did have 3 assists and nearly committed an all time blunder by stepping out of bounds when the game is wrapped up if he stays in bounds. Terrible game, no way KU is winning that game. But I remember him jumping up and down with his teammates and they gave them a big trophy and hung a banner because, despite DaJuans poor play, they were national champions.
His name is DaJuan, stop calling him Juan.
That’s all
-
They should get rid of the coach who keeps playing such a poor point guard too. Darn, I guess they can’t because of some sort of lifetime contract deal now?
-
And DaJuan’s not as good as Steph Curry we’re told. Like who the heck on the entire planet is as good as Steph Curry?
-
@jayballer67 Self does his best work with tight lineups so I’m good with it!
Yeah uk boards are crazy!
-
@wissox Least you are admitting he played awful that night because all I heard is he flipped the game with his defense!
His teammates call him Juan or Juando, coaching staff the same but because you’ve requested I’ll call them DaJuan moving forward!
-
@wissox Not as good I said dribbling ability
Wemby is what 8 feet tall and has legit curry handles
DAJUAN should as well (u like that spelling!!!)
I’m glad you are ready for the game and DAJUAN to ball out!
Hawks by 8

Who on this board predicted, thought, imagined… that after 2 games, Parker averages 10 pts, 5 rbs and 2.5 assists in 18.5 min? And our mate from down under, Johnny in the same minutes averages 10.5 pts and 4 rbs. I sure hope these two help KU tonight.
-
Only 4 times was a Kareem sky hook blocked, Wilt did it twice in one game.
-
Hello friends! Whos ready for a Kentucky beatdown?!?!
-
I’d love to see a beatdown, but I’ll settle for a solid W
-
ESPN now shows the line at 7.5. The line has been increasing daily.
-
Too bad Dook won tonight. Looking forward to my first hawks game of the season. Funny being at an Applebees to watch.
-
Really hope our guys get off to a good start. When Dickinson hits those early 3s, it just feels like it’s going to be a great game.
-
not sure we cover
-
Let’s get it
-
Kevin we need your scoring.
-
Atta boy Juan
-
I hate being this close to KU playing and not being able to go to the game.
-
We’re just out efforting them. This ain’t AAU ball kids
-
Dang, lookin good!
-
If Hunter stays another year, he has to hit the weight room.

Like 150-90?
-
Nice passing tonight
-
Elmarko has to quit thinking. Let it fly, my dude. It’ll come
-
Let 'em shoot 3’s
-
hunter does have a lot of 5 foot moves with either hand
-
Nice start. Rebounding well. Elmarko gotta make those looks
-
Hunter in the paint. I love it. Now, he can step out and hit the 3
-
-
I love Juan’s earlier comment: I’ll shoot when we need me to shoot. RC
-
I like our energy. Did Self tell Jackson to shoot?
-
I’m OK with Elmarko just playing in the flow of the offense without hesitating, so good so far
-
Joel made 17 out of 17 FT’s tonight.
-
Bang
-
Walk
-
Lot of hackin out there
-
Settle down Furphy!
-
Feed the big guy
-
slow down, ffs
-
Two awful passes Dajuan
-
WTAF?
-
Made up for it
-
Wow that’s slop
-
When our 8 year guard just two trips down throws it away…just brutal
Nailed a 3 and played d there to save it
-
@approxinfinity he and Timberlake looking to score versus defend and get into the flow
