I see Ali playing as similar to Deji starting for KD early in his career in a first game years back. Not a permanent thing but more of a test. I thought they looked sloppy and disjointed at times, but they looked to be trying a lot of things out. X and Reece look like they will be welcome additions. Banks seems to have his shot back. Riak is the same player as last year. Surprised by the lack of time for Sayles.

Some awful sloppy play right now. 66-51, 5:34.

Sayles finally got in.

I like how Reece always goes up strong with the ball.

X now leading scorer with 13.

Very raw but not afraid while not pressing. Good showing.

63-43, 9:10.

58-39, 11:53 left.

Nobody really, but X and Reece seem to be the real deal. Cheese is leading scorer.

My kingdom for a mid-range jumper.

No Sayles in first half.

Amen. He is awful.

Zips 39-30 at half. Roscoe was last sub in. So far played 10 players. LCJ, Banks, Reece, Ali, X, Cheese, Roscoe, Riak and Tribble. Poor rebounding technique so far. Only up 19-17 in boards.

29-22 Zips. 3:55 left in half.

16-12 Malone, 11:30 left in half.

Pushing the ball but a little sloppy so far. 7-6 Malone with 15:55 left.

Cheese for Ali. Tribble for lcj.

Deng in for Reece.

Odd starting 5- Reece, LCJ, Banks, X and Ali.

Here waaaaayyyyy too early. No Scott Walter in uniform.

I always enjoy this game. It's our season preview. It doesn't have pole dancers and Snoop Dog like Kansas, but it's still a nice warmup.

So, just to clarify, old Terry fell short of Solich in two areas.

Can't believe the season is here. Go Zips.

For the life of me, I don't understand why this has to be Bowden OR Arth. One could have thought it was time for Bowden to move on AND be unhappy with how things have gone so far with Arth. Thank God basketball season is here so that we can switch over to yearning for the golden days of KD.

Do you really think things were going well with Bowden? I get the Arth criticism, but damn, they couldn't even get lined up for a kickoff correctly. I could understand a "things were better with Bowden" response, but to say things weren't going badly is revisionist history.
