Great win for UNC. Really did not see that coming.
I'm not sure MSU is all that good, unfortunately. That's not taking anything away from UNC.. if anything it's taking away from UK. Outside of the first half of the UK game they really haven't been that impressive. Then again, it is an Izzo team, so I'm sure they'll be great by the end of the year.

Yep MSU always does this, they'll be there at seasons end like they always are.
Roy is now 7-0 vs Izzo. He must know something others don't.
Now let's see if we can beat UNCG, lol

UNC just flat out owns MSU. Izzo said that game was one of his most disappointing of his career. Or something to that effect. I predicted a loss anyway, but to get blown out at home is just awful.

You really picked them to lose?

Well I think I said a something like I expect a loss. But yes I didn't think they were going to win.
UK/UNC Saturday
Could see this going either way. We can actually match UNC's size inside, which will help us. I think the key is whether or not our lazy freshmen decide they want to get back and play transition defense. If we let Meeks fire halfcourt outlet passes all game, and UNC gets lots of points off transition lay-ups, it's going to be painful. But if we slow them down and Andrew Harrison can actually figure out how to keep an opposing guard in front of him, I think UK will pull it out.
Both teams need the victory, but Kentucky really needs it. If we don't beat UNC or Louisville, then our only quality non-conference wins will be Boise State and Belmont (though that's not a guaranteed victory either). Should be interesting.

Sloppy game
Glad to get the win but it wasn't all that fun to watch. I hate games with that many fouls called.
Hope we can get PJ Hariston and Leslie McDonald back soon.....we really need them. We have no outside shooting right now other than Paige. You could see Kentucky try to take him out of the game in the 1st half and it worked for the most part. He's a great player so you can't shut him down completely but it would be nice if he had some help.
