Kriisa is a limited player, despite his attitude and energy. He can pass and shoot threes. That's about it, based on what I've seen. He stirke me as a very steaky player, versus a steady force. There's good and bad in that. Kinda like Dilly was ...
Veteran players with focus, determination, desire and courage will take us a long way. Selfless, for-the-team effort is priceless.
I do wish we had a few more players who can beat their man off the dribble against defensive pressure. Getting Butler and Oweh strike me as great pick-ups by Pope.

That's so amazing thank you. It's actually the exact same as my username here (@Ripamaru). BBN has always been amazing during this whole ordeal.

So I've never actually been to Rupp. I've been to a lot of road games and a couple tournaments in Nashville but I never made it up there. Spent most of my life out of state.

I have been battling colorectal cancer since 2018. Was in remission for a couple years before it came back in my lungs. I recently got the unfortunate news that it has advanced further. A mass in my liver also. It's early enough that it's not damaging the organs yet. Doc estimated I likely have 2 to 2.5 years. Going to fight for the cure but we are talking roughly 5% chance.

My brother is helping plan a trip for the Brown game on New Year's Eve. I would love to meet some of you guys. Would like recommendations for stuff like where to celebrate new Year's, to watch my 49ers on MNF on the 30th, pregame festivities, etc.

We will be staying at the Springhill Suites Lexington Fritz Farm. After securing tickets and hotel rooms we will be on a bit of a shoestring budget. Any kind of tips etc for saving money would be greatly appreciated. Getting from the hotel to Rupp and back for example.

We will be arriving in Lexington on the 30th and staying 2 nights. My brother and his GF are bourbon lovers so I would like to do something with that on the trip for them if I can. They are using their vacation time and scraping together most of the funds to make this dream happen for myself and our boys so I'd like to do something small for them.

Like I said I'd love to meet some of you guys (and gals) finally so anyone willing and able feel free to DM me or reply here.

Go Big Blue!

While I get what you are saying, I watched some of the Kansas/Michigan State game and neither team played half as much defense as Duke did last night. Most teams will not be able to defend us like Duke did. Also, all that energy they expended playing such tight defense was part of the reason they were exhausted at the end of the game.

Aggressive perimeter pressure on our shooters. We got out of sorts in the 1st half. Need to be able to drive to relieve the pressure. We did better in the 2nd half.

That real hard screen he put on that trash talking guard 14 that sent him to the locker room I truly believe set the tone for that beat down Kentucky gave Duke in the 2nd half man what a screen
