His reasoning was other schools, including SEC, will be able to buy better players and cash, for the most part, is what attracts players. More than programs, more than coaches, more than scheme. Basically, CBB will be more and more like CFB, the rich reload with cash and players from lesser programs and the gulf between the haves and have not widens. EE 8 this year was all #1 and #2 seeds with a lone #3 thrown in. Big conferences, no mid majors.

Opinions?

getting emotionality connected in the game, just standing there with that stupid look on his face, show some fire, your players feed off you,


My neighbor is at the game and he just text me that.
I laughed at him.

We continue to miss out on top guys. Whether they’re high school kids or portal guys, they’re only using us right now just to get more money from their dream school. I like Pope, but if we’re going to take that next step, recruiting has to be much better.

With NIL$$$ and the Transfer Portal, is coaching and being successful at “Blue Blood” programs 1) More difficult, 2) Less difficult, or 3) About the same ?? Four (4) SEC teams in the Elite Eight, without Kentucky, certainly says something ..,

Scheyer and Golden in their 30s. Pretty sure this is right. At least that is what was said on Field of 68 last night.

They'll face the old guard coaches: Pearl 65, Sampson 69, Izzo 70, and Barnes 70.

When do you realistically think we will hang #9?

It’s been nearly 15 years since 2012 and in that time, we’ve seen our rivals all win and close the gap on our 8. I absolutely LOVE Pope, don’t get me wrong, but within cal’s first couple of years it seemed like a title was absolutely inevitable given how he took over college basketball when he came to Kentucky.

So my question to you, as Kentucky fans, when do we realistically think we will win #9?

Unfortunately, im going to say somewhere close to the 20 year mark of ‘12.

Man it really does feel like someone died.

Not a lot of convo here, my street has been quiet today so far and there’s like nothing on TV.

Need a good pick me up.

So has anyone else seen all the stuff with Kevin Willard?

He has reportedly accepted the job to be Villanova’s new head coach. This is ahead of their sweet 16 matchup with Florida tonight.

It is reported that he skipped the team dinner last night. And also that he has already started recruiting the portal for Villanova.

Insane stuff considering they play for a chance at the elite eight tonight.

They were tied with us 17 before this year ncaa tournament .

UNC has 21.
UCLA 18
Duke 18
Kentucky 17
Kansas 15.

Pope has some work to do in coming years to catch them up and surpass them .

Has anyone heard anything on this front? I would think there would be better options there for big guys.

We may have our roster by next week with this ruling on the horizon

Sherron Wilkerson coaches them to a win over defending class 4A state champs Fischers who were on a 43 game winning streak and defending state champs. Go Red Devils baby! He was a major star on our last state title team in 1992-1993 before going to play for Bob Knight at IU.

Catching in the portal nba draft net has him as a first rounder in 2026 do we go after him

Login to view embedded media Maggard our old pal is saying Kentucky is likely(right now) to get eaglestaff.

How does Doug Shows get this game?

We have 1 female and 1 male in the games…https://www.sportingnews.com/us/hig...mes-channels-rosters/92af9136d84e08106e3ab782

His teams shoot an extraordinary amount of 3’s.

To win a title you’re going to have to play 4 pretty good teams. And shooting that many has a higher risk factor of failure. Eventually you’re going to have a bad night from outside.

They looked great Thursday, but tonight they’re going to have to repaint the rims.

Anyone in the know do we expect any big time players to come out this week?

BOOM!

Great win tonight and heading to the Sweet 16 and yet coaches will have to work on next year's roster. Definitely some muscle down low with guys that can grab some rebounds and play great post defense. Go get us some players.

Any chance of having 3 SEC teams in FF?

I would give A

....we saw it last night against UT and tonight, Duke (Hard for me to say it) against Bama. Two top notch offenses were shut down. I love good and fast offense, but defense wins Championships.
