UK has just 2 players averaging double figures in scoring: Lyles & Dakari. And both of them are averaging exactly 10 ppg.

 

That's awesome. Still reminds me of the coolest stat ever. In 2009-2010, Murray State had 6 players averaging between 10-10.9 pts per game. Right at the very end of the season 1 player upped his average to right at 11 ppg and he was the team's leading scorer that season. They won 31 games.

Here's some trivia. Did you know Davis and MKG took the 4th and 5th most shots, respectively, on the team that season? Bet you've never heard that one.

No way...

Sounds like they would be lucky to win more than a few games. That is, if they didn't run 12 deep.

Hammertime said my thoughts in the game thread.

 

UK is really really good.

 

Kansas is overrated.

 

At this point in the season that's all we can and should take away from this game IMO.

 

Probably too early to say how good Ky can be but I do not think that you can say that Kansas is overrated. They have three NBA players in their line up. Jay Bilas even said that Kansas is a very good basketball team.

I believe Kansas will be a good team. They just ran into a matchup nightmare. They were undersized against UK (everyone is) but have not shot the three ball well this year. Kentucky may lose a couple of games this year, but to beat them your going to have to hit the three and midrange jumper. That said, if UK goes to a zone defense, your only chance at beating them is with the three ball.
