Kansas State leads Kentucky in the 3rd Quarter. Keep this one on upset watch for now. Rhyne Howard MIA shooting 1-8.

Kentucky seems to be sneaking away out of Manhattan with the win against Kansas State as they build a 56-49 lead with under 3 to go.

Hot take: Dre'una Edwards is Kentucky's best player this year.

I don't think it's been particularly close so far. I do wonder how Utah would've done had Edwards stayed there, but such is life.

Howard may take slightly longer to settle in this year, but let's not forget that this was her first game while Edwards has had a minute to settle in.

Been excited to watch her play for a while, she’s really really good. Edwards has it all! Her and chasity Patterson look very good so far. Benton (transfer from auburn) also will give some quality minutes off the bench. They have the talent, I just question if the coaching and guidance can get them there....

a lot of top players have had rough starts so far.

Edwards was great for Utah two years ago, Pac-12 FOY in fact, but somehow totally under the radar nationally because, well, no one makes an effort to watch the Pac-12 basically. When she announced her intent to transfer, it was just a massive blow to that program, which was already losing Megan Huff to graduation.

Kentucky was overrated all year last year and they're overrated again, imo, at least at this stage. Kansas State struggled to put away Southern in their previous game and yet they led for most of this game until they flatlined in the final 5+ minutes (literally, went scoreless). Much was expected of Ayoka Lee but she has not been good at all so far.

I'm looking forward to the Kentucky-Indiana matchup this weekend.

Is that game at Indiana? If so I won't be on Sling Orange so I won't be able to see it.

It's at Kentucky, on Sunday at 4p ET. The game will be on ESPNU, which is available on Sling's "Sports Extra" package for an extra $10.

I think the key for Kentucky this season is the relationship between R Howard and A Edwards/C Patterson. Edwards is strong but also looks light on her feet. Patterson is looking more and more comfortable running the team. R Howard is a volume shooter. I’m curious as to how she needs to adjust her role for the betterment of the team and how any adjustments impact her ability to produce.

Stanford playing Washington on Sunday and Wazzu on Tuesday, both in Vegas. That’s a great setup for them.

They had to find someplace else to play. It was either that or cancel, and I guess Vegas is as good a substitute locale as any.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the Pac-12 tipoff here in a few minutes with the CU-UO game.
 
Just a heads-up for mid-major fans that Gonzaga is playing at South Dakota State Sunday at 3 ET. It appears that it will be available as a stream from the SDSU web site.

These are two of the best mid-majors this year, should be a close and well-played game.

Thanks for pointing this out; it was an egregious omission from my list. (I'll use the excuse that all those 2pm games wore me out.)

This will be a highly significant game for both teams and should be very entertaining to watch (IMO one of the 3 most appealing matchups of a chock-full slate of Sunday games). But unfortunately it appears that the stream requires a subscription ($11 per month) or a one-day pass ($7): https://gojacks.com/watch/purchase.aspx#register

This will be Gonzaga's last game of any significance out of conference. The Jackrabbits, by contrast, have the following schedule after this game: at Kansas State, at Northern Iowa, vs. Drake, at Missouri State. Then after a sojourn to Montana State, they'll play Northern Iowa a second time just before Christmas. Quite the decent little schedule that Aaron Johnston has put together.
 
Xavier WBB announced a cancellation in their game against Creighton less than an hour before tip-off:

Damn! I didn't notice where most of the games say free, this one has a lock. I hope it's available free later. The Summit games were almost all available on ESPN3 last year.

I was really impressed when I saw the Jackrabbits' schedule. All those P5 games plus the Zags, Drake, Mizzou State. . .

This is pathetic, Nikki should be fired immediately. No reason she should be collecting a paycheck at this point
 
Belmont Abbey ekes out the win over UNC-Greensboro! 63-60! Huge win for them!

All I know is in watching this game at the start of the 2nd half LSU has already reached the bonus on fouls and maybe only half of them have been called that should have been. I can’t believe I am seeing a team out-thug UCF.
This is not a good LSU from what I am seeing. I hope this is just a bad game by them but I see their record is 0-2 so...

I think its safe to say LSU is the worst team in the SEC at this point, including worse than Ole Miss.
