[loublue22_rivals308424]

yeah Wright was the big miss

 

[SkyPrince]

Christian Collins was out(undisclosed) tonight.
Donnie Freeman out for season.

 

[NociHTTP]

that Insomnivic character didn't do too well, either.

Jasper be like:

 

[Glenn's Take]

Oklahoma minus 28 1/2.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Poor Travis can’t seem to hit

 

[SkyPrince]

Poor Travis can’t seem to hit

He did start tonight but only had one assist and two turnovers.
I could definitely see Perry playing for five different schools in five years.

 

[UKCowboys]

yeah Wright was the big miss

Wait, I thought it was Caleb Holt lol

 

[Cleatortoises]

Acaden Lewis was a disappointing loss.
Didn't he leave because we signed Jasper?

 

[Padsfs07]

Jelavic had a nice line for Ohio St. In their loss to BYU.

13 and 9

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Perry is a shooter though according to the resident experts on here. He just needs 4 or 5 years to show it.

 

[SkyPrince]

Jelavic had a nice line for Ohio St. In their loss to BYU.

Forgot about him.
Going to be interesting seeing how the ones we let walk compare to who we brought in.

 

[LongliveWildcatDon]

13 and 9

He was the one I wanted to stay. Didn't show much his first yr in college but always looked like a piece that would develop nicely be yr 3.

 

[Wunky]

Acaden Lewis was a disappointing loss.
Didn't he leave because we signed Jasper?

No, he left because we signed Lowe.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

It's one game, but Jasper doesn't seem to have it.

 

[LongliveWildcatDon]

But is his uncle happy? Kid has a lot of skill but zero knowledge on how to actually play the game.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

But is his uncle happy? Kid has a lot of skill but zero knowledge on how to actually play the game.

His uncle is writing a strongly worded X post as we speak. At the end of the season, Jasper will take his talents to Morehead St.

 

[SenseMaker_Cats]

Lowe led his team in shots. 2 assists and two turnovers. Unless he continues to go 5 of 8 all the time from three, I think we’ll see the same player he was at Pitt and his short time here.

 

[peterpiper09]

Rob Wright was a little too ball dominant and chose to shoot more than get teammates involved. Just my take. Yes, he had a good game, but what about when a few of those shots aren’t going in the basket? He’s the PG whose job is to get everyone involved. Also, screw him for playing us ONLY to get more $$$$. Wasn’t a whiff as a lot like to indicate.

I think that's how BYU will play this year.
Wright is the PG but he will also be the #1 scoring option.
Trae Young lite.

 

[BluWildcatz]

Acaden Lewis was a disappointing loss.
Didn't he leave because we signed Jasper?

It happened after they signed Lowe.

 

[peterpiper09]

North Carolina really struggled with Western Carolina. Only got some separation in the last 4 minutes when Western’s best player fouled out.

 

[BluWildcatz]

I saw that. Also, Kusturica & UCLA upset Arizona in a pretty great game, and Kansas, despite playing TKR, struggled at home vs Fordham.

 

[Padsfs07]

Yeah the PG missed on was Quinn Ellis.
I noticed Keyshawn Hall had a big game for St John’s as well.

 

[Padsfs07]

Kusturica went 0-5 on 3s. A bit of N’Diaye to his game in the opener.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

North Carolina really struggled with Western Carolina. Only got some separation in the last 4 minutes when Western’s best player fouled out.

They also aren't ranked either. It isn't a world beating team this year per at least the early thoughts of voters.

Yeah him being hurt last year had nothing to do with his play here, it’s possible he’ll be better this year, only time will tell

 

[Padsfs07]

UNC may be ok once they get Fens eligible. They miss his presence inside.

 

[TheResistance]

Jasper Johnson cycling down the hoops toilette is an interesting case. 21st ranked 5* in a loaded class. 12 kids ahead of him were one and done, and this kid is now the 8-9th man on a bad Oregon team as a sophomore. You wonder if it's the kid or did his first year break him.

The 8 kids before that weren't drafted are all starting at really great programs.

Mullins/Khamenia at UConn. Hartwell at Gonzaga. Yessoufou at St Johns. Haralson, Tennessee. McKenney, Michigan. Boozer, Duke. Arenas, USC.

And this cat is a deep bench rider at Oregon. Talk about falling of a cliff.

I hate anything coming out of Overtime Elite. They don't teach what needs to be taught for the college level.

I know Lowe scored a lot but I still feel we upgraded. Perhaps the only position we upgraded from last year.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Jaland Lowe 23pts
Jasper Johnson 1pt/12 min.
Travis Perry 3pts/1-6 3pt/ 18 min
Colin Chandler 15pts/ 5-14 fg
Rob Wright 33 pts
Caleb Holt 7 pts
Stephan Vaakas 20pts
Karter Knox 11/11 rbs
Acaden Lewis 24pts
Tyran Stokes 15/7

Jasper has published a video online called “The Journey.” I have not watched but the first few seconds of it. Seemed odd.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Lowe led his team in shots. 2 assists and two turnovers. Unless he continues to go 5 of 8 all the time from three, I think we’ll see the same player he was at Pitt and his short time here.

He can certainly fill the points column at times. Very talented young man.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Not a great night for Chandler.

 

[TheResistance]

Not a great night for Chandler.

His averages will go up, but his percentages will plummet. IMHO.

 

[Lameguy]

Big Z needs to find a different school next year.

 

[TX Wildcat]

I really wanted Jordan Burks back!

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Tonight will have dioubate, Garrison, is there anyone else?

 

[bleedsblue5]

Crazy talk, Momo is going to be so much of an upgrade over what we had.
