I think it’s worth pointing out that 20 teams are currently projected to win 2 tournament games or better. Obviously only 16 can actually accomplish this.

45 teams are currently projected to win 1+ tournament games. Again, only 32 can pull this off.

What this basically means is that at least at this point in the season, there is a lot more strength at the top of college basketball than in recent seasons.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out once we get into conference play and quality meets quality. May have more effects like we saw last night, with 2 good teams pulling each other down.

For the record, no team has won the tournament in the years I’ve been modeling that wasn’t at least a 2 entering the tournament.

........first one with about 2 min left- Nembhart goes to shoot, loses the ball, then punches it to a teammate (could have been a travel as he was first to touch it?)- then gets the ball back and buries a three. Ouch.

2nd one- Hickman has Brea literally draped all over him- the only other thing Brea could have done was foul him- and he drains it. DAGGER.

Our 7 point OT lead was essentially gone, and we could have folded. But our guys kept fighting!

My wife is about to be induced with our first child on December 18th. Prayers appreciated please. The Louisville game and post game Tony’s will be mom and dad’s last outing for a while.

Goodman just posted he’s out 3-6 weeks with a fracture in his foot.

One never knows for sure, but looking ahead, there should be little change over the next 2 weeks or so:

Does anybody know when his contract is up?

Thought everyone on here would be happy to hear this. I’d Imagine this is because of his ideal win now: playoff potential at Tulane, coupled with the possibility of his alma Mater opening up next year.

Unrelated: I think next year might be stoops last regardless, if he gets us to 8-4 or 7-5 he will take another job (Iowa open?). If we suck again, why get into such nastiness.

I thought I saw someone mention it but can’t find it now. Anyone have a place to order the top?

I know Dale Brown at LSU used to run a defense he called 'ameba'. It started as a zone look and either stayed zone or morphed into man depending on which side the offense made the first pass. I believe what Pope was doing was something similar to that. I know sometimes he stayed zone the whole possession, but most times it changed to man. I wasn't sure what the trigger was? Some of you old time X and O guys weigh in.

From The Murray Ledger & Times 3-26-2019:

I was curious how much money we are going to have in the coffers. They said that our NIL had improved.

What happens in the polls this week? I can't remember a time when so many lost in the same week.

Does Mark hold Butler out one more game to Saturday with Butler?

Is NIL money paid posted anywhere? Do we actually know how much we paid Brown, or Key, or Walker? Or any of the OL? Or Brock?

Per Pope on radio.

Would love to get the whistle they get. 5 fouls called on them in the first half. We have that many by the first tv timeout.

Ignore the poster’s hostility at the bottom but it does show you can’t play stuff on paper and the bias of people is incredibly strong citing the regular season.

Looking at 247 their current portal ranking is not a great look for UK. They have the following:

#4 Dane Key
#9 Barion Brown
#21 Keeshawn Silver

Those rankings will change a lot over the next few weeks but as of right now UK and Nebraska are the only schools with 2 guys in the top 10 transferring out and UK is the only school with 3 guys in the top 25.

I know there have been some mixed feelings on here about those guys but that is some serious talent leaving. Granted we were 4-8 this year but still.
