We upset Butler 88-73 in YUM Center opener!!!


I will be honest with you, going into this game I was pretty uncertain on not only how we would perform in this game but also how this whole season will unfold.  I mean after losing our top recruit to UK and our 2nd best recruit to grades we were left with the smallest incoming class I can ever remember us having.  So my first thought of this season was that we would be lacking our usual depth on the team.  Well, it turns out that I was wrong about that, thankfully!  Turns out we played with better depth and more as a team in this season opener than we did all of last year!  The stand out player of the game was Rakeem Buckles who I said all last year would end up being our new Earl Clark!  Elisha Justice was the most impressive freshman of the night looking very comfortable running point especially in the late minutes.  Bottom line is we are young an inexperienced but there is clearly something special about this group.  They play with a spark and seem too work well together.  Lets hope there is more to come of this for the rest of the 2010-11.  Go Cards!!!
