FINALLY, IT’S BEEN AWHILE.
-
@BShark 250ish days I believe.
-
@rockchalkwyo approximately too long
-
Good guys 72 over the ‘scared to leave their conference’ Zags 68.
-
Ochai goes for 25 to start off his POY campaign.
-
I think Gonzaga wins fairly easily due to their good bigs.
-
Wooo
-
I think it’s going to be tight - -But I too am worried about the bigs

I think you’re underestimating the struggles Gonzaga will have getting the ball to their bigs since their two primary ball handlers are brand new to the program. Gonzaga also isn’t exactly a defensive juggernaut either so KU will be able to score against them.
Even ESPN’s BPI projector has KU a slight favorite to win today.
-
I would feel better about this game if Andrew Nembhard hadn’t been cleared for Gonzaga. Still, I think KU can win. Marcus Garrett is going to have to be the clear best player in this game.
-
Jalen Wilson will start taking the 5th spot.
Wow
-
Over whom?
-

It’s been up in the air. Bryce was in contention as well. Kinda need the size against the Zags, hopefully Jalen does well.
-
So Marcus, Agbaji, Braun, Jalen, Mac?

Yes.

Confirms what I thought. Braun was locked into a starting spot a little bit ago, other 3 were obvious.

Big Dave spent a lot of time in the weight room this off-season. A lot of time.

And he had too
-
And it’s 81 and sunny in Fort Myers. Sheesh.
-
Quick foul on Dave. Likely he will be spending a lot of time on the pine in the 1st half…
-
Jeez Dave didn’t learn
-
What was the technical foul for?
-
-
Terrible call
-
Thanks, guess I missed that.
-
Will we match the turnovers from last year’s opener vs Duke? That was painful.
-
Turnovers man
-
OK I have convinced myself that this game is actually happening.
-
David please rebound the ball
-
Nice strong take.
-
Good footwork by Dave, but gotta finish those shots at the rim.
-
Loping down the court…
-
Big Dave not playing well at all
-
Marcus’ free throw percentage for the year is 100%.
-
Yeah this game is not going to end well. Might lose by 20+.
-
Yikes
-
Clean block!
-
Gonzaga shooting over 70%, rebounding it, KU can’t make anything.
-
Gonzaga playing at a much higher level. Self must rally the troops
-
Gonzaga moving the ball really well. Nothing sticks
-
Guys playing scared
-
Right now, we look like a directional state school against the Zags…
-
I think we need to play better lol
-
Always seem to suck to start the year. Everyone looks so nervous.
-
Hopefully the game starts to slow down because it’s not looking good

What was that turnover #5?
-
Jalen looks really bad in particular. The fact that he was in contention to start (and got the start) isn’t great.
-
Good news is we should get an early peak at all the new guys when we are down by 20
-
Shades of Duke last year with these turnovers.

Dave said hold his beer imo
-
@approxinfinity Unfortunately, not much of an early peak, but yes, a peek…
