Basketball INSTANT ANALYSIS: Cards no match for Kentucky

Honestly not sure what to write after this one. Pretty much exactly what you expected. Probably would have guessed they would have won by more if I knew they'd shoot 12/25 from three but they didn't really try to blow them out as hard as they could, I don't think.

This one had a weird feel with so many Kentucky fans at the Yum and the Cards having no chance of pulling the upset. They're not just bad, they're bad bad. Should never put a team that bad on the court at Louisville.

It was ugly to start the game for the first 10 minutes but Antonio Reeves was absolutely on fire. He was 9/10 FG in the first half.

Rob Dillingham did some crazy stuff in this game. In terms of creating, getting a shot off, making things happen, there aren't too many like him. Really not even about the defender in those situations, just have to hope he misses or messes up.

Thought Kentucky was pretty lackadaisical at times, probably even in a UK-UofL rivalry game not the easiest one to get up for.

Football NSD: Jacob Kauwe will compete for all specialist duties

UK's kicker commit will spend a month or so in Hawaii training during the coldest time of the year in Montana and will plan on competing for all specialist positions when he arrives in Lexington.

Once the P5 conferences split

Once the P5 (soon to be P4) conferences split and break away from the smaller conferences do you think we may see the smaller conferences (AAC, CUSA, MAC, etc.) play during a different time of the year so as to maximize tv time, profits, etc? Think about this. Once February comes, die hard football fans like myself are dying to see any form of college football. I would watch a random MAC game if it were the only college football game on. Nobody is tuning in to watch these games during the normal season.

Does anybody else think this is a possibility? I don't know how logistics would work for signing periods and such or if they could switch it but it would be in their best interest if they could. That way the P4 teams couldn't poach their signees (for a year anyway). This may be their only chance for survival.

BHH??

So when KP is inevitably fired and BHH transfers from UL…..UK could do alot worse than him if they need some depth in the paint. Seems likely we lose everyone in the front court.

AB-draft
Mitchell-graduation
Z-Draft
Ugo-Transfer (def possible)

Might just roll with Adou as only expierence front court guy next year.

BHH is listed at 6’10” 240lbs. Avg 10/10. Guess it would depend on his willingness to accept his roll as experienced depth behind JQ and not focal point.

UK/UL betting thread....

Anybody found any prop steals? I'm about to dig in to the details. BTW what's up with the line? I figured it would be like 19.5?

I'll post if I find anything that looks like an easy winner(no such thing). Interested to hear everyone's bets. I wonder if there's good value in Reeves O/U, he's been down lately but this is a really weak opponent and he should get multiple shots when we're up 10+ and there's no alot of pressure. If the last two games have brought the points o/u down, there may be something there. You also risk that he's in a funk and still can't hit anything.

Squid Games:The Challenge (Netflix)

Anybody watch the recently released series based off the squid games show that released a couple years ago?

Pretty entertaining overall. Started with 456 people. Each player eliminated adds 10k to bank. Winner receives 4.56 million. Was very happy with the winner.

There was one person who truly made my blood boil. Player 278. I hope the way she played has ramifications in her real life. She was a scumbag.
