Kansas and Kentucky both look good.
As a Duke fan, I know.

Both were close games, but muh Dukies just didn't finish.

Yeah, it's early, but if both Kansas and Kentucky stay healthy all season, they will no doubt be two of the top dogs in the Tournament.

We get tested good this week. 2 road games at Clemson and Gonzaga.

Tough loss for Kentucky last night.

Clemson's off to a good start and home field advantage is huge.

KU travels to Creighton tonight. Creighton has a really good big guy and they always play the Jayhawks tough.

Clemson was really physical and killed us on the boards. They slowed our ball movement down and we shot poorly. Still had a chance to win game. It won't be our last loss. SEC will be brutal.

Yeah a tough road test for KU but Self is the best coach there is winning close games. Glad we don't play you this year. 😆

Kansas falls on the road. It's hard to win a road game against a good team.

Auburn losing to Duke on the road.

Creighton pretty much kicked our butts.

They were shooting crazy good and took us out of our game.

If they keep playing like that they'll likely be national champions this year.

Is McDermott still their coach?

Yep. He's a good coach who gets his players ready to play. Especially last night!

Creighton's probably not as big a name in basketball as they should be because they consistently have some really good teams.

Yeah they have been good for awhile. Kudos to KU for going to their court to play.

Well I hope they come to Lawrence next year for a little Allen Field house hospitality.

#8 Purdue getting hammered on the road by 25.

Zags are whipping our ass.

Hell of a comeback! Down 16 at half
Win 90-89 OT

I turned it on at half time. Kentucky came out playing very well and closed the score, then the Zags spread it out a little bit. Then I went to bed. I hate those very late night games.

It sounds like it was a great game. Hopefully you stayed up for it!

I did. Gonzaga missed a lot of shots.
