uconnisgood said:I feel like Marcus Lee could be a monster if he was utilized more. His athleticism and the way he played in the semis last year. Towns looks like a David West type player but I'm not sure if he'll be a superstar as a freshman. Looks like UK has some shooters. Buffalo looks to be playing well but wouldn't expect them to amount to much. Wow what a dunk by Buffalo! Moss!.
There are HUGE plans for UBuffalo (and I use the HUGE purposely).
They have a document that states they want to double in size. They are aggressive ... in a region that is the post-war disheveled manufacturing. Ambitious. That's why, I think, the Jeff Quinn firing happened in football. That AD is just following the University's desire. And, frankly, it is a shot at SU ... in the longer run. A State U. that wants to grow up.
it would be nice if buffalo can hang around for a while longer, just to make the nba team team look bad
Two five-man units, eh???
Don't take away my hope!!Buffalo by five at the half. I suspect eventually talent will win out, and expect UK to win by 15 or so. And this is by no means a sign that UK won't put it together as the year goes on.
However, there's a big flaw in their platoon system. The Harrisons are not good defenders. Ulis does a pretty good job with ball pressure, but then the Harrisons come in and just stay a step or two off their man, since they aren't athletic enough to harass smaller guards, so UK isn't really wearing anybody down. The whole point of using that type of system would be to force the other team to deal with intense pressure the whole way through, but instead, all they are doing is rotating their own hot hands off the floor and nobody can get in a rhythm.
Buffalo has hit a couple of tough shots, but it isn't like they had a miracle half of perfect basketball.
Any recruit who believed that, well I've got a bridge to sell them. When it comes to winning or keeping his recruiting word, we'll see if the best five aren't taking the majority of the minutes.I want to see Calipari break away from his "rotation" in a panic in the second half.
If it's close in the last 7 or 8 minutes, we are going to see Ulis v. Harrison.

Yeah, I was wondering how the line changes are working out for Kentucky. Anyone watching the game? Is Cal sticking to that plan?Two five-man units, eh???

They are angling us out of a spot in the Big 10. I'm not kidding.There are HUGE plans for UBuffalo (and I use the HUGE purposely).

Nah. They are our contiguous partner. And northeast foozball will be the cat, that sits on my furniture, the rest of the country wanted to keep in the bag!They are angling us out of a spot in the Big 10. I'm not kidding.
