Overnight 5: Opening Night Edition
Posted by rtmsf on November 7th, 2018Can’t guarantee that we’re going to do this every night this season — questions of sustainability and all that — but let’s try this to see what happens. From Opening Night:
Duke's big 3 Barrett, Zion & Reddish was phenomenal. Perhaps as strong a debut performance as we've ever seen, nearly outscoring UK by themselves. Their confidence + athleticism + ease in slicing Ky's defense for 1.44 PPP gave Cal his worst UK loss ever.https://t.co/yjOdTdQSU9

3. Lotta P6 chalk tonight, with a 41-1 record against non-P6 teams. The L was poor @baylorMBB, blowing a big lead to Tx Southern and new HC Johnny Jones to give the SWAC only its 2nd win over a power conf team in the last 3 seasons. Could be a rough yr in Waco.

5. Best story of night was in Austin as Andrew Jones saw game action just 10 mos after leukemia diagnosis. Rec'd huge ovation when he entered & played 9 mins, contributing 1s across the board (pts/rebs/assts/stls/fouls). Great to see him out there.https://t.co/QDUx9A2pbT
