Up next UAB

[bbneutralfan]

The Blazers also squeezed by at WKU winning 68-65 and are 17-4. Not going to be easy.

Don’t see this one as the streak breaker. Could get ugly early.

I agree. With a 10 game losing streak, it could get VERY ugly within 5 minutes. Maybe fate, good fortune or devine intervention will aid them. UAB is solid.

Hasn’t Kennedy used the portal heavily to bolster his roster?

 

[Herdmaster]

The real question is, will the Herd break 50 points against UAB. I hope so.

I got a good friend who is a UBA booster, and he says this one of their better teams.

At 17-4 I’d say yes UAB is pretty good.

 

[HerdFan300]

Well, that was a surprise. And without Kinsey?

 

[MU PIKE]

They shot lights out. Struggled in the last minute with UABs press and withstood 2 3 point attempts in last 15 seconds to hold on. Overall they made shots the whole game. I think we ended up over 50 percent.

Much better team ball with out him for sure

nice win - really needed one

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

Hasn’t Kennedy used the portal heavily to bolster his roster?

Yes. I think six of his top eight players are transfers.

 

[bbneutralfan]

A very good win for the Herd. JMO bu DD needs to keep the same lineup. Just saying.

 

[muthed]

None of our players have transferred in.

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

None of our players have transferred in.

Right. Are you implying I said they have?

 

[KyMUfan]

Hmmm, to even the casual observer it seems he is comparing UAB using the portal to bring in 8 players to MU not utilizing the portal at all, unless you count Williams and West using it to transfer out...

BTW I spoke to one of UAB's assistants before the game last night. He said they had brought in 8 players with 3 of those being major contributors (Walker and Buffen are two of the three - can't remember who is the third).

There was one thing that stood out to me and I'm not saying this was the reason, but maybe a coincidence. They started to struggle when DD brought Early back in the game. Just an observation on my part.

 

[W-S HerdFan]

Byers? He watched us on tv & used the pre-portal (teleporter?) to get here..

 

[muthed]

Right. Are you implying I said they have?

No, I am just stating that we have not done what virtually every team in the country has done. And that is go to the portal for some help.

Gotcha.
