If you're debating, don't debate. Go to Indy

I know we don’t need another thread on this but Pitino is everywhere. And so happy. I wish him all the success. Even when he flipped us off in Rupp I knew I didn’t really dislike him. He is kinda real. He loves what he does and he cares. He can joke and he can self deprecate.

Cal looks miserable. He can never joke. He only laughs when he is condescending or being sarcastic. And he’d never joke about drinking Jameson. I think he hates what he does but he loves spotlight instead of the “process” (his words).

You pick who you want to have a beer with.

Pope will end year one with more postseason victories (NCAA and SEC) than Cal did the last 5 years combined, assuming that Butler comes back. It’s understandable to be frustrated right now, but this is going to end up being a successful year one for Pope when it’s all said and done.

Who else came into a new job this year with no returning roster, beat 8 top 15 teams, and has taken their team to at least the Sweet Sixteen? Nobody. Doing all that in a historically great conference with devastating injuries all year. He also has 4 wins against Sweet Sixteen teams already.

There's been some great accomplishments from other coaches out there. I just don't know if any of them could have done the same in Coach Pope's situation this year. He deserves some kind of an award.

This season sucks. Lots of hope, lots of promise, but it will end badly. Matt Jones just mentioned elite 8 ceiling, gtfoh. We will be very lucky to survive 1st weekend.

Another season, another bitter pill to swallow in March.

My patience is quickly running out.

We need to do better. And it needs to start next season. No more excuses.

I LOVE YOU BBN!

Another thread? Too many? Try and STOP ME?!

First coach to ever do this....Cal reloaded a roster every single year...but never did this....

This win and style of play has to help land some studs from now on. What do you think?

Dude just admitted, at halftime of the XU-Illinois game, that he hadn’t watched it. Dude is a national treasure.

Found it..

Make that 2 and first S16. Proved the doubters wrong. Now Let’s hammer the Vols!!

I’m so damn proud of our coach and team! LFG!!!!!

On every level. (IYKYK)

Let's Go!!!!! I forgot how nervous I got during these games, it had been a while!!!!!

Kansas was pre-season #1....we were #23

They flamed out in first round, and we are still playing.....And we've added 3 games to our lead over them in all-time wins.

Brea 23 points on 10-16 overall and 3-8 from 3
Oweh 15 points on 6-12 shooting
Butler 14 point on 4-5 field and free throws plus 2-3 from 3
Chandler 6 points 2-4 shooting overall and 2-3 from 3

Noah also got in the act with 4 points on 1-1 shooting and 2-3 from the ft line


62 points on 23-38 (60.5 FG) 7-15(46.67%) from 3, and 69.2% free throw

Also 8 steals with 7 assists to only 2 turnovers

Mark Pope: 2-0
Horn: 2-2

Wild wild wild.

His shoulder is clearly not mobile. He loses control of the ball a lot and he can’t play aggressively.

Pope said his shoulder is hanging by a string and taped together.

We might have fooled Troy for a few minutes last night but Illinois isn’t stupid. No chance we get past somebody like Tennessee with Butler playing significantly.

Pope needs to make a decision and stop monkeying with the lineup. Chandler needs to start.

He has a pretty good chance to lead the team in total assists for the year. Butler 107 Williams 106

I'm pretty sure we've never had a center lead the team and I'm doubtful we've even had a forward lead us in total assists for the season.

Yes, I understand he leads us in turnovers too. lol And Butler has missed games. But, an answer to a trivia question in the future if it happens.

Just said if we don’t win it will be the first time in Kentucky basketball history we’ve gone 5 straight years without making a sweet 16. For all of you Cal nut huggers that’s pathetic. Just shows you how far we’ve fallen. It’s time to turn our program around today and make the 2nd weekend.

How Pope didn't even make the Coach of the year candidates list?

What a joke.
