7:05 left in the half, Mich. St. Kansas 14-14: as ugly a game as the score would suggest.

Kentucky/Duke both look good.

Flagg definitely living up to the hype. Him and Bailey will be an interesting 1-2 convo in the draft.

Very exciting last eight minutes or so of the Duke/Kentucky with Kentucky coming back to win 77-72.

I like neither UK nor Duke, nlbut I hate Duke much, much more. In addition, UK looks a bit like it’s old Pitino teams. Not sure I like that lol.

Until last 30 seconds when he committed 2 turnovers and failed to box out on a missed free throw giving up an offensive rebound.

I completely jinxed him.

Yep trying to do too much in their last two possessions (not including their inbound down five with 0.5 left in the game as a possession) and then denied them a possession with 5.1 seconds left (no timeouts) by allowing a rebound to Kentucky after they missed the second half of a one and one.

Also very annoying that AJ Storr is one of the country’s best and maybe we could have kept him. Kid is money. I think Pitino just moved along to clean out the roster but it was a bit rash and we had some reall talent there.

He was a impressive but has a very loose handle which UK took advantage of.

Congrats to Mark Pope and Rick Pitino on the win over Duke

Kid has been on 7 schools in 7 years dating back to his freshman year of high school.

I wouldn’t take it so hard. He doesn’t seem to like staying in one place too long. Even if Mike A had stayed I doubt he would’ve been suiting up for us another year

Former SJU recruit and opponent soon enough. Despite an odd& bad loss to Zaga, I expect Baylor to be quite a test for Johnnies.

I forgot about this until I read it this morning. It's amazing he only turns 18 in December.

Was interesting to watch a couple names we were associated with over the Summer... Kerr/Amari/Brea...

Kerr would have been fun to watch... but after 3 straight pull up deep 3 misses... we might not have been fans lol

Although the first two mentioned that Pitino wanted to keep were Joel and Drissa, AJ was added to the list soon afterwards and was given the opportunity to stay but he chose to move on. He was not told to look elsewhere.

I personally think Storr would have been better off staying at Wisconsin but time will tell.

Funny, I forgot we were associated with Kerr.

LSU at Kansas State tomorrow night at 9 should be an interesting one to keep an eye on.

AJ Storr doesn't even start for Kansas. He's a good player and you can argue we should have kept him, but "one of the country's best" might be overstating it.
