It will be one non-conference game, but due to losing to them the last several in a row, and the fact that they will be our first game against a ranked opponent, a win would feel really good and a loss really bad. But honestly either outcome won't have a big impact on the season.Of course vs Stetson, but so great if our boys add being a 3-pt shooting team. Is this due to White's talent at recruiting? So will vs FSU be a litmus test Dec 12?
Don't look now but UK got absolutely rocked and destroyed by a Winless GT team today, 79-62. UK was favored to win by 7 points in a game played in ATL. UK now sits at 1-3 to begin this season.
HUGE test for our guys coming up on Saturday at 11am @FSU if the game is played. FSU has killed us in recent years so it will be interesting how our guys play since FSU has been able to bully us around on the court the last few years. We have a much deeper roster and more athletic guys than in years past but playing on the road can very tough if your shots are not falling. Inside we have Castleton, Payne, Osifo, Johnson, Jitoboh, and Duruji so hopefully that will help offset the advantages FSU has had on us the last few years. Jitoboh has a long way to go to be able to play more. He just looks so slow and plodding out there on the court and doesn't seem to hustle much so he has to get with the program. Hopefully our quick athletic guys like Lewis, Mann, Johnson, Glover, and Appleby can push the tempo and wear out FSU. That will lead to open looks for Locke and Ruz from 3 point land.
If we don't beat the clowns I may go off the deep end.
In the few minutes we saw Jitoboh, he looked like he got fatter and slower than he already was. From the looks of him, he shouldn't come off the bench except in garbage time for now and will likely end up being a transfer since it doesn't seem like he took the off-season seriously.HUGE test for our guys coming up on Saturday at 11am @FSU if the game is played.
