Blue blood bleed out:
I laughed at the notion that Texas wants Calipari. Says everything.
I always thought the answer for Cal was to somehow name Drake an assistant coach. lol
-
Frank Mason playing for the Chiefs?
-
@drgnslayr I don’t disagree with much that you say…until now. I friggin HATE K-State. I hope they lose every game from now until eternity. In football, basketball and I even hope the Livestock Judging team starts mistaking pigs for cows.
I will donate half my yearly salary forever to bring back Bruce.
-
I just like the tough rivalry.
It’s not much of a rivalry smacking down KSU every single game.
Kind of like college football dominance in the SEC… it becomes a big ZERO after a while.
-
@drgnslayr There must be something wrong with me. I LOVE smacking down KSU every single game. The greater the beatdown, the more I love it. There’s nothing worse to me than a 1 point game. Or in football - a 2 point game. After 3 overtimes.
-
Looks like we lead Kentucky in another category:
-
@drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk sorry Nuleaf I agree with drgn. We need a good competitive rival. It’s why I hated to see misery leave. I want to see two games on the calendar every year that I set my life around. I want them to beat us every once in a while so we have reason to make it a fierce and bitter rival. But if you want to donate a million dollars to bring Bruce back more power to ya. He’s a studio guy on the big ten network and I can’t stand hearing that voice!
-
@drgnslayr And there is a reason he is the highest paid Coach - - -WHY ? - - because he just WINS. - -WIN BABY WIN - that’s all he does. .My comment in this is not a jab at you drgnslayr - hope you don’t think I’m being an ass to you lol , just an overall comment.
You always some really good posts/thoughts so just making sure you know my comment was not a shot at you lol. - Like I said glad we have OUR COACH -he get’s more and develops our players better - Coach is awesome - -Glad Kentucky has Cal- We got Coach - -ROCK CHALK

Is everyone else enjoying Kentucky’s struggles this year? I’m looking forward to their game at Tennessee today, then browsing the comments on Rupp Rafters. Thank you Bill Self.

I am and I am hoping Tennessee kills them today. For all-time wins purposes and also because we lost to Tennessee earlier in the season.
-
Another ref crew that calls way to many fouls at the Ten v. Kenty game. Jeez, why can’t we get rid of these crews that think the game is about them?
-
Just like every year, Tennessee struggles to score. When they hit shots like they did against us, they look great. When they don’t, they are a quick out in March.
-
I think Alabama is the better team and has a higher ceiling.
-
Alabama is more balanced. 16th in offense and 10th in defense per KenPom. Tennessee is 1st in defense and 31st in offense. And their defense is sort of dependent on how the officials are calling the game. They play very physical defense.
-
Kentucky is playing better defense and Tennessee’s offense looks very bad.
-
Yep, Tennessee’s O has never been very good under Barnes and will be the reason they don’t make it to the second weekend once again. I’d love a rematch with them but it ain’t gonna happen.
-
Officiating in this UK Tenn game is wow
-
No Wheeler and UK is winning… correlation?
-
Tennessee did it to themselves. They missed like 5 or 6 wide open lay-ups and shot 3-20 from 3.
They were 12-27 from 3 against us

I’m shocked I tell you, totally shocked. (Implied sarcasm font)
-
NC State picked up a nice win against Miami. TCU up on KState
-
K State maybe cooling off a bit?
-
Tenn did not look good at all. So many misses
-
Tcu up 14 at half
-
TCU UP 22!!!
-
TCU honestly looking a bit like us. When they turn up the d and get out in transition they look like world beaters but have shown they can go stretches where they struggle to score. (Allowing UT to comeback last game)
-
@benshawks08 tcu plays more length than we do they are long and athletic like TN
Will see how we fair today but tcu will be right there battling for big 12 title
-
Alabama looks like a team we want to avoid until the final 4. 6-8, 6-10, 7-0 all long, lanky and athletic just hammering lsu
Bama looks like the top sec team and 1 seed

They have an elite roster. I think Alabama, UConn then UCLA in terms of raw roster strength.
-
10 ranked teams fall today.
-
@BShark UConn and UCLA are pretty good, but as far as potential and ceiling are considered, Alabama is definitely a notch above them. I think they’re the only team we couldn’t beat if both teams are playing at their best.
That said, I think we have a better chance to advance farther due to knowing how to close out close games due to coaching and how to win when you’re not blowing your wad from three. Got to save those for the elite eight and final four.
-
Oregon stomping Arizona.
-
@HawkChamp UConn played Alabama and won by 15. They are very, very good. I think either would beat us handily on most nights.
-
@BShark I mean, Tennessee beat us by 14 but after looking at their entire body of work and the way in which we lost, I don’t think they’re the better team. I’ve also watched UConn a bit and just don’t see the same potential as Alabama has at all. UConn has also lost 3 of their last four games. But anyway, it’ll all get sorted out in March.

Tennessee shot 12-27 from 3 against us. Harris fouled out in less than 20 minutes of play on questionable calls (and one obviously bad charge call) in a very physical game. Pettiford left early with injury and only played 3 minutes. A lot of things went wrong for us that game.
Today Tennessee shot 3-20 from 3, but they also missed like 5 or 6 completely wide open lay-ups. Like not contested lay-ups at all. I’ve never seen anything like that before, it was bizarre. Tennessee should have won that game.

Alabama if they’re on looks like the best team in the country. UConn no.
-
@HawkChamp Yeah coaching is important and I’m not sold on Hurley.

Like I said early today, you simply can’t count on a Rick Barnes coached team. Especially for post season success. I will say though I’m glad we do have a loss, wouldn’t want the media constantly talking us up for being undefeated.

St Johns beatin U Conn’s butt today - -80 - - 64 with a a minute forty left today
-
UConn would be a lot better if they weren’t coached by Dan Hurley
-
Like I said yesterday, not impressed by UConn

You ain’t lying. Self or Jay Wright are taking that roster to a FF.

Sad deal - ‘Bama basketball player charged with murdering his girlfriend.
-edit - not his girlfriend. Just a random girl, in some ways that makes it worse.

Like the 2nd or 3rd time this kind of story has popped up across the country in College sports this year. Crazy
