Ha, yea.

When my two most disliked programs play, which is rare, I usually prefer UK because a win means less to them given they’ve had more overall success.  If PU beats them they will be extra giddy which is no good.

I have teams I like and teams I dislike. 

But I root for two schools: Indiana. And whoever is playing Purdue on that particular day.

Just look what is happening in the NBA today with all the arrest about gambling 

I honestly had not even seen that news when I posted. Unsurprising. The NBA has had a huge issue with betting and they magically made the Doneghay stuff go away a decade-plus ago. With the integration of gambling and fantasy they’ve had several more incidents.  
 

I also just think it will be bad for the game in general. Lots of NFL/NBA fans now kind of grumble at how integrated the betting apps are with viewing experience from constant commercials to coverage that focuses on betting lines non-stop. I know I get bored by it and I’ve been gambling on sports for a long time.

This will 100% be in our future given how slippery this slope is.

Kentucky 38, Purdue 30 at half

[Stuhoo]

Exhibition at the half:

UK:38, Puredoo: 30

Let’s not lose context; people act like Pudoo was in some way a special team last year; they were good but not special at all.

[Stuhoo]

Watching this Pu/UK game? It is clear that Omer Mayer and Jack Benter are THE two best young players in college baske….

I just can’t; they look slow and sucky. Sisley rules.

I was starting to believe I was the only one who thought that.

They were tied for 4th through 6th in the B1G last year.

I still yearn for a way for two teams to lose the same game, but at least I'll get to watch one of those fan bases start squirming before the season even starts.

 

I didn't get to watch. How oaf-ish did *insert yearly Purdue giant's name* look today?

pUKe 78-65 win over PUke.  Joe TIpton reports pUKe was without 2 starters but this is an exhibition game so don't put too  much stock in the outcome.

I’ll never believe in Braden Smith

Darryn Peterson is such a freak. He makes scoring look like it’s just not at all hard.

It’s funny listening to Fran try to comp him. In a high school I thought he was a more talented Brandon Roy. That’s still feels right to me. And people have forgotten how good that dude was. 

[Uspshoosier]

Kansas up 16 at half.    Peterson has 24 

[Napleshoosier]

So those doinks lost to pUKe

[Josh]

I know it's an exhibition but damn that arena is dead

[Uspshoosier]

Virginia tried to give it away to Nova but held on.  They didn’t handle the press at the end of the game at all.   

[Uspshoosier]

Arkansas up 27 now

BYU up 8 over North Carolina in the first half
