As many of you were starting to get excited about this team, CCC leaked that it's fool's gold as of now. I had a vivid dream last night and it was wild. CCC retired after this season. We made a final 4 and lost to Houston by 15.

Some how Mitch was pressured to make this hire...

Would you take this for the next 5 years? It was a weird surreal dream. I know it won't happened so don't post about that.

SEC Tourney Doesn't Matter?

For Calipari to make this claim should rightfully, open him up to a world of criticism. First, it makes him a hypocrite. While he's happy to soak up all the foundational benefits of UK being a member of the conference, it's an arrogant position to openly claim the conference tournament has no value nor is of any interest to him, but what would you expect from a narcissist? For some teams, who've had a lackluster season, winning the conference tournament is the only path to an NCAA tournament invitation. Considering the overall result of the Calipari malaise on this program, it may be that winning this very tournament could be Kentucky's best future opportunity to gain the same invitation into the tournament that Calipari claims as the only one the matters. It's sad that this man believes his opinion matters to anyone. He continually fails at the highest level on college basketball biggest stage, even though he's been given (not earned) every advantage to succeed. He cloaks himself in every imaginable excuse and when those excuses fail, he resorts to name-calling ... which confirms his failures and validate the criticism. No one is perfect and everyone experiences their own level of failure but the most important lesson that should be learned is humility and a willingness to honestly assess the failures and work to change and correct the missteps. This is where Calipari deserves all the criticism he sees today. The man has no humility, offers no solutions, and refuses to correct mistakes because of some sort of sickening pride that will forever be the poison that undermines the cure. If the trajectory of this program continues under Cal, the SEC tournament becomes more and more important, ironically.

Has to be a point of emphasis for officiating in the off-season

Of delay of games called on the teams who just scored. My AAU coach always told us to fight for made baskets as much as missed (because we wanted to get out and run). To let A&M roll the ball to the officials or throw it past the cameramen 30 times is a disgrace. But one of those has to be a delay of game also. They already had gotten warned for it.

SIAP: Kent State vs Akron ending

Absolutely gut wrenching ending.

The MAC championship was a fun game to watch. Back & forth between two rivals
With 4.8 seconds to go, Kent State scored to go up 61-60. Akron had to go the length of the court and score. However, a Kent State player didn’t understand the score. He intentionally fouled on the inbound! The Akron player hit both FT’s to send the Zips dancing.

Akron 62 Kent State 61. Terrible way to lose. He literally did the reverse JR Smith.

The impossible dream !

I love our cats but : 1) can’t stay between ball and goal , 2) give away to many offensive rebounds , 3) due to penetration , we give up to many horse 3’s , 4) players not producing getting to many minutes 5) so we play a team that guards and rebounds , we are in trouble !! My sad conclusion , we can’t go to far in the tournament , pray I’m wrong !!

I hope BBN doesn't travel for tourney

Honestly, I hope we are sent out West or as from KY as possible. I know BBN is far and wide but the less fans we have the better for this group IMHO.

Our worst performances (with exception of SC game) this year have been in front of our home crowd and in Nashville which was the equivalent of Rupp.

For whatever reason, this team plays better away from the spotlight of our home crowd.

Maybe it is coincidence but we have really only played one good game all year in front of a massively pro UK crowd and that was Alabama. Every other game was meh or a mess.

Send us out West....and save your money folks.

Edit: In no way am I saying not to support the team...I am simply saying we play better in non-pro UK environments.
