August 10, 20188 yr This is their official roster: [ATTACH]66832[/ATTACH] For the 18/19 season yeah.. Deck signed with Real Madrid and I guess a few others signed elsewhere too.
August 10, 20188 yr I saw the interview with coach Barbaree tonight where he said with just the 10 extra practices that "they hadn't worked much on defense.... and it shows". I guess that explains my main concern. It's August 10th. Don't be concerned. They have 3 months until their first real game. Convincing the kids to buy-in and run some resemblance of offense instead of just spreading it out and going one-one should take precedence right now.
August 10, 20188 yr It's not as significant when you understand that the three time champions were not playing with their core players. Also their last game was in June. UK played extremely well however and was much more comfortable tonight. This team has all the talent to win a national championship without question. I'm listening to one of the morning sports shows on the radio and they said although they were missing a few players they also picked up a player that was better than any they were missing. He mentioned his name but I couldn't hear what he said except that the guy was a load for UK to handle last night early on.
August 10, 20188 yr I was really surfing the channels last night but was encouraged by what I did manage to catch.

That team had some really good players.
August 10, 20188 yr Guy in the first row, third from the right, looks like Anthony Davis with a perm and no unibrow.
August 10, 20188 yr KSR just said that Bovada isn't paying out winning bets on last nights game because they didn't play a full game. Lame.
August 10, 20188 yr They made the worst line in history. I’m sure they lost a lot of money Edited August 10, 20188 yr by Wireman
August 10, 20188 yr Should they learn to defend then imo this can be a really special team / season. Of course, time will tell. We all have said, heard that before with other teams. Certainly, the potential is there. Tonight, what I got to see of it due to the power out, was a complete turnaround from last nights game. U.K. stepped it up vs. a much better opponent. Thankfully the shooting was much better tonight. I was really impressed by the play of Richards, Washington and Herro. Those three imo may be the leaders of this team. Q. Green can step in and be a big factor as well. I saw the interview with coach Barbaree tonight where he said with just the 10 extra practices that "they hadn't worked much on defense.... and it shows". I guess that explains my main concern. I dont think it should be that big of a concern. Basically all of Cals teams end up playing really good defense. Even though people like to freak out in January when conference play starts and thinks thats what they are and wont get better. Yet every year by March they are playing their best on both sides of the ball. I'm not worried about defense at all. They will he fine.

It's August and they're scoring in the 90s against decent competition. The offense looks great, the defense will come around.

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say. :thumb:
