UK moves up in both polls

5 to 6 seed-level talent. 1 to 3 seed-level head coach.

I think our reasonable goal is a 4 or 5 seed.
For the life of me, I can't understand why a handful of posters here keep knocking our talent and athleticism. Not starting a fight, I just don't see what a few of your guys are seeing.

No More Throw Away Minutes

Coach Pope explained that the last 4 minutes of a blowout are as important as the first 4 minutes for analytical reasons. He mentioned how important it is to continue demonstrating high level efficiencies throughout the game and how it plays a role in tournament seeding. Pope understands the game at a high level and he doesn't think it is beneath him to explain to the fans what he is thinking and his decision-making process. The aforementioned is his reason for not giving Noah and Perry the playing time that they would have gotten a few years ago.

Almost all my posts mention economic oppression before prejudicial. They both exist obviously, but the former is universal.

I’ve never been for illegal immigration. I’ve always been for immigration reform to entirely change the process. Legal immigration. If that comes with a giant wall, so be it. The number one goal is the legalization of all workers so no employers can pay under the table. If you want work done in America you have to pay American wages for it. Doesn’t matter who it is.

And yes Eric Adams is a POS. You act like I like centrist Dems. I hate them maybe more than conservatives.
I think you are not as radical as you say you are. Being for worker's rights and being pro union is not radical. It is 100 percent centrist. It's what built the middle class.

Yup do not care about rankings this early. Only issue is they rank you very low to start and to get in the top 5 is harder. You have to beat everyone and have top 5 teams lose a few games each. They never drop a Kansas or Duke more than 1 spot but UK they seem to drop us 7 or 8 if we are in the top 5. lol

Motivation for the team is all this is right now. Pope, I am sure is not looking at the polls. He just wants to win every game just like he did when he played here. Hope our guys are ready to punch them in the mouth from Tip to final buzzer.
They will be. Pope will see to it!

You’re a freaking idiot. Do I need to find one of the countless videos of Trump saying we need to open the economy asap while Dems refused? They’re out there. He was quoted multiple times saying “the cure can’t be worse than the disease” which ended up being the case.

Biden kept everything locked down FAR longer than necessary, if they were ever necessary. The MASSIVE increase in money supply falls 100% on the Biden admin. 100%…

I also can give Trump a pass and blame Biden. Trump was acting on incomplete information and was screaming from the rooftops we need to open things up asap as he exited. Biden kept things locked down intentionally while flooding the market with currency.

Bottom line is you’re a freaking idiot that’s attempting to rewrite history due to your extreme version of TDS.
People were dying. Opening up businesses and schools too soon would have caused more deaths which would have also limited people wanting to go out and spend freely as well.
Your Pollyanna version of "Just open it all up... It will be great" is FOS.
We were in a world wide pandemic and it just sucked regardless.
The inflation that resulted sucked too. But acting like Biden could wave a magic wand and lower prices when people had been locked at home for 2 years is ignorant of the economic facts.
Riddle me this.... Why was inflation also super high in Sweden who was one of the few European countries that refused to lock down like the US and most of Europe??
If you're so damn smart, explain that. Because if you can't... then everything I said about the cost of goods in a post COVID economy is correct.
"Sweden inflation rate for 2022 was 8.37%, a 6.21% increase from 2021. Sweden inflation rate for 2021 was 2.16%, a 1.67% increase from 2020."

I agree 100%. Happy to move on from the stupidity of identity politics. But that means you can’t pull the race card when we discuss voter ID laws. It also means you’ll have to remove “xenophobe”, “homophobe”, “transphobe, and “racist” from approximately 95% of your response posts.

You sure you can do that? If not, we are back to square one. If so, it just means that up until this point under your current username you have been part of the problem when it comes to identity politics. Given, you did so under the banner of promoting your utopian democratic socialist meritocracy of amerika nonsense gibberish. But you were knee deep in the very thing you now claim the Dems need to denounce. Once again, the term “useful idiot” comes to mind.

But I’m all about turning a new leaf & moving on with intelligent discussions…

Non-Identity Politics Issue #1: Where do you currently stand on illegal immigration?

You have stated multiple times in the past that you think we have more than enough space & resources in this country to let everyone/anyone into America…and that anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated xenophobic racist. Is that still your position?

Dem NYC mayor (sanctuary city) has changed his stance on this issue for many reasons…not the least of which is crime rates & lack of resources to sustain harboring them. Of course, the border towns have been dealing with both of those issues tenfold for many years. But I guess it’s good that NYC and its Dem mayor have shed some light on the issue in the northeast and nation wide. Is he a xenophobic racist?

So where ya at, kommrade? Still think the border should be free flow? What do you think should happen to illegal immigrants that broke our country’s current federal laws & are already in the country?

Side note: Plenty of “space” in EKY. I’m curious what you think would happen in your neck of the woods if there were a sudden influx of illegal aliens? What would it do to the budgets of the schools? Do you have a bunch of fluent Spanish speaking teachers over there? What would it do to the crime rates? What would it do to the job market? The economy? The healthcare facilities? What if the population in one of those small EKY cities was suddenly doubled by an influx of said illegal immigrants?
