Is this bad?

[HuskyNan]

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Kansas fans are pretty obnoxious on Twitter-X

 

[asteinindc]

considering the Bahama's team had Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon on it, it's actually quite good

Well, the important thing is they're consistent. That's all that really matters.

Wow AJ Storr and Tum Tum. That is a good squad. Traving Munnings was first team all sun-bult at one point too. Looks like DeAndre warmed up but didnt play. Shame they didnt play Le Cannet. Any pros on that team?

They're all pros.

The Bahamas was rainin' threes mon.

I thought it was a bad result until I saw who was on the squad. That said this Kansas team is being overrated. The starting 5 is very good, and maybe player 6-7, but the bench is so thin. Bringing in Hunter Dickinson cost them several good players. It's not a deep group.

Timberlake 4-12, 3-7 from the arc.

 

[Huskyforlife]

It’s a very good sign that they hung with that team.

Frankly, the Bahamas team has got as good a chance as anyone to win.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Timberlake 4-12, 3-7 from the arc.

UConn absolutely lucked out. Timberlake is fine, but Spencer is the better player.

 

[navery12]

I was waiting for someone to post this yesterday trying to dunk on Kansas like that's not a really impressive result

 

[huskyinfl]

Kansas ice cold in the 4th

Eh. They can thank their lucky stars they didn't match up with Providence this summer

Bahama's are 57 in the FIBA rankings. France is 6. Not that any of it matters. Kansas should feel very good about themselves. So should UConn. Settle it on the court.

 

[wingsfan055]

Kansas vs UConn will be an epic matchup on Dec. 1. Could be 1 vs 2 as well as Blueblood bragging rights.

 

[Tomahawk]

I was doing some Googling, and apparently Lourawls Nairn is an assistant coach at Bowling Green lol

 

[SportsFan88]

Damn the fact that Kansas lost by single digits is kinda impressive lol

 

[SportsFan88]

I remember him at Michigan St

The difference in the game.

You make it sound like we played anyone that could make the French national team.

 

[Rocktheworld]

I feel dumb for asking but I imagine those guys are on the Bahamian team in prep for the FIBA cup in a few weeks, correct? Lol otherwise I don’t get why Hield and Gordon (and Ayton, but he didn’t play this game) would be there.

Do we wish UConn would play a national team of this caliber? Have a feeling we would struggle too, but it would be good, humbling experience. We would obviously have exhibitions and cupcake games in the fall closer to the season

The fact that Spencer has already proven the level of contribution we need, at a P5 level, really increases his "floor" relative to a guy like Timberlake.

Agreed. I suppose it is possible that Timberlake toiled away at Towson for four years despite being a starting caliber player at the P5 level, but I doubt it. Experience matters and no doubt he will be good, like Joey was for UConn last year. But at this point I expect him to be a 6th or 7th man at KU. They have three guys competing for that starting SG spot, with both Morris and Jackson likely ahead of Timberlake.

I mean, Spencer “toiled at Loyola” for 3 years. I don’t follow your logic. Spencer seems to be far more versatile though.

You quoted me as saying "not that any of that matters." Except maybe to you.
