TAR HEELS TONIGHT

[CATHYnKY]

Line I am seeing is -5.5 Cats. I have no clue what to expect.

[OscarFan]

With Mo out, who is going to guard Wilson? Don't know if Cam can contain him or not. Moreno may guard him some.

[Pete Hogwallop]

I don't have any clue what to expect either. I have no prediction. I don't gamble (don't really like that it's a part of sports), but that line seems odd to me. Especially with the guys we have out. I won't be surprised to see us win and I won't be surprised to see us lose.

[Semi-OldEvilleCat]

Same. No idea what to expect. Kind of surprised they're favored and by 5.5 I'm hoping they play as a team and make some sort of progress, not regress like the UL & MSU games.

[KentuckyWild2020]

I think you guard Wilson with Jelavic, everything else should take care of itself.

Hopefully the offense is running through OWEH tonight. He is the go too scorer, utilize it and let him get his confidence back.

The one thing i want to see if for us to come out tonight meaning business from the tip, no more slow starts and getting behind, we need to be the team throwing the haymakers from the jump and set the tone..

With all due respect, glad he's out. He is a 6'7 small PF who can't shoot from the outside and he wants to be a scorer. He hasn't shown he has the handles to drive and attack the rim, ,addition by subtraction in my opinion. To help this team, needs to know his role...

Im guessing Lowe is still out too
so sicks of all these injuries

I think the pre-judgement of this team without three of its starters is ridiculous. I just hope by the start of the SEC schedule that we have full roster. What would a team look like without Patterson, Cousins, and Wall look like? What would a team look like without Issel, Pratt, and Casey look like? And on and on, etc. The team we have without today’s three starters, including a lottery pick is but a shadow of the team we have when healthy. If we are still losing games to the big boys when we are 100% healthy, then all the criticism is warrented.

With it being an 8:30 start on ESPN after a 6:30 start of the game before, be prepared to either go to the ESPN app or a different ESPN channel to catch the start of the game.

I'm not a fan of this 9:30 late game

I agree, also it's not how you start the season so much but how you finish.

Last season Kansas was pre season number one and finished out of the rankings, so we'll see how the Cats finish

[Pobilly]

i will stop in here after midnight to see how the game went. I will stream something to keep me busy during the game. Hope you all have good things to say tonight about the play by our True Blue Boys!!!

I'm going to wake up early and watch a replay. I'm a morning person.

You're glad one of our starters is out? Shaking my head.

[KentuckyWild2020]

He ain't a starter, that's the problem.

Glorified role player and if he was that good, BAMA would have never let him walk.

Now he may end up being the top player on our team and the first overall number 1 draft pick and if so, i will gladly eat crow with pepper and Laury's salt.

Best case scenario, what's his ceiling with this team.?The fairy godmother isn't coming to fix his shot and I'm not sure his handles are good enough to attack the rim and get to the line, he's a role playing small PF who can semi defend(not great) and chase long rebounds.

Isn't the goal to have 5 scoring threats from all positions in a Mark Pope offense that wants to shoot 40 threes a game?

I would rather have a 6'11 with a 7'3 wingspan that can shoot pass dribble and contest shots inside.
