Cats tip off the season at Rupp on Friday when the Lumberjacks, who have made the NCAA Tournament the last 3 years, come to town. SFA upset #3 seed West Virginia last year & lost by just 1 to Notre Dame in the Round of 32. They finished 18-0 in conference play & 28-6 overall. Top 3 scorers from last year's team graduated, though.

 

Let's hear your picks.

 

I'll go Cats by 15.

Cats by 20

I will go Cats by 27.

Cats win 81-57

I heard they lost their coach from last season as well, anyone have any info on that?

 

Either way I'll be going to this one, but I don't expect they will be as competitive as they last seasons lumberjacks would have been.

As a history buff, I know a lot of pretty useless, but sometimes interesting information. For example, did you know ole Stephen F. attended Transylvania University? Not long after tipoff, they'll be wishing they were playing up the road at his alma mater Friday night.

I didn't know that. Cool.

Kentucky 93-61.

Coach Brad Underwood left to take the Oklahoma State job. Stephen F. Austin lost a lot of their scoring and contributors from last year. I expect UK to name the score in this game.

120 to 73

84-58 Cats.

 

Halftime margin will be too close for comfort, first 8 minutes of the 2nd half will be an onslaught.

A poll on this one is really not necessary, maybe the margin of the Cats Win ....

 

U.K. by as much as Cal wants it to be.

The Cats will run through the Lumberjacks like a new Stihl saw through balsa wood.

 

Cats--99 Jacks--69
