Only has 28 points at the half.

He was a Tiger! AL Cy Young award winner and a World Series Champion

1. The transfer portal opens in 2 weeks. You can bet multiple UK players will enter and the staff will target replacements. I expect this to be the most active portal for UK yet by far.

2. Staff changes will absolutely occur this year. How many? Who knows but there will be turnover and perhaps a significant amount.

3. Will Iowa open? I think it's 50/50 and it should be known after the B1G championship game. Whether Iowa will target Stoops is anyone's guess, but it's definitely possible. If it opens and they target Stoops, buckle up especially if the timing doesn't work out and Sumrall, the most obvious hire for Mitch, has already taken another job. Will one of the other open jobs be attractive to Stoops? Michigan State perhaps?

4. Coen questions. Is he healthy? Will he still be here? Is he actually any good? No one really knows what happened that landed him in the hospital, but he's not coached another game from the field since that happened. That's a complete departure from his history. Will he take a HC job somewhere? If he does, Stoops is in offensive limbo yet again, which is exactly where he's been for the majority of his tenure. Brown-Dawson-Gran-Coen-Scangerello-Coen. It's all been consistently inconsistent. Even when the team has won, the offense has been mostly one-dimensional.

5. Can they attract another good portal QB? Leary's ineffectiveness will be used against them.

6. Can they attract a good portal RB? Ray's apparent unhappiness will be used against them.

Both look pretty solid. Could be a future battle in a Final4.

I like what Bilas said there with the Marquetter guy on the bench with 2 fouls. "You don't want to take that player out of rythym keeping him on the bench either.."

Is it me, or is Robinson the best and most consistent receiver we have?. Also, Ramon looked good the past 2 games and probably should have been incorporated into the run game earlier in the season and might have been more effective than McLain at taking snaps.

When a highly ranked blue blood like North Carolina or Kansas or Duke or Auburn, is down to an underdog at halftime or at any time, please follow these rules.

Don't say North Carolina is down by 15 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.
Instead, say interesting game between North Carolina and North Texas State. Also, it helps if you say North Carolina is the greatest program ever and there's no way they can lose this game. North Texas State has no chance.

As soon as you post that North Carolina is down 15 points, karma kicks in and will bite you in the butt, and it will succeed.

I have no authority and I'm just making a suggestion, but I've been around long enough that I've seen games won not by coaching, but by some stupid fan posting that Duke was in trouble on a message board.

Thank you.

Just seeing it on but he has 35pts against the Boozer Bros

Just some thoughts on the state of the program after a long poor stretch and also with lots of changes in the SEC looming.

I didn’t see this mentioned, but Lunardi did a segment last night during the game on why Cal was successful as a tournament coach.

I thought it was a great example of how you can make data lie or at least tell half truths.

He used a metric of expected tournament wins based on seed line, and pointed out that Cal has done better in that area than Tubby or Rick did. Cal had a ratio of 1.1 win for every expected win.

Lunardi was definitely using the opportunity to take shots at our fan base.

Ok, so here’s the lie. The problem, for the most part, hasn’t been Cal underperforming his seed line. The problem has been UK being seeded too low because Cal underperformed during the season.

A 4 seed who makes the Elite Eight has exceeded expectations. A 1 seed who makes the Final Four has only met expectations.

My contention is that Cal has had too many teams who should have been in position to get that 1 seed. But a dropped game (or 2 or 3) season after season has us up against it come March.

We haven’t gotten a 1 seed since 2015. Not entirely coincidentally, that was our last Final Four.

We caught a little fool’s gold with those deep runs in ‘11 and ‘14 as a 4 and 8 seed, respectively. Those were a lot of fun, but they were the exception that proves the rule.

Glad to see us gut it out last night. The Kansas loss is an issue. A home loss to St. Joe’s could have been a problem 4 months from now.

Hoping he did

I'm not here to complain about his lack of playing time here or moan and groan, but this is what I will say. He made one bone headed play when he tried to make a miraculous pass and turned it over. Other than that, he made play after play, for others and on defense, and at crunch time in OT, he won the game. I know the team needs DJ and Edwards to increase their confidence and play well, but when the game is on the line, he's got to be in.

I'm glad to see DJ make some plays and Edwards make some shots, but I want Sheppard on the floor most of the game. He sat too much at the end of regulation for me. That's my 2 cents. Love them all! Go Big Blue! 😀

I lost my password awhile back and never took time to get another one so I have alot of catchup up to do- BUT Jon is a beloved ex player who is doing a very nice job at Troy. I think Stoops has ran his course here and we have seen the best he has. VERY thankful to him, but really hoping hes on his way out in the neat year or two. Jon is one to keep an eye on.

Howard looks disinterested… Martelli seems to be doing more coaching than him

I first started to hear about him a couple of years ago. I loved his Dad when he played and thought it will be tough on the kid living up to that. Then about his JR year people were saying he was a legit prospect. He did well in AAU and was having much praise heeped on him. But to be honest, I thought he was getting pub because of his last name. Then in-state folks started beating the drum for Cal to sign him. I had not seen him play but I assumed he was a good HS player but i questioned the competiton he played against. So when we signed him I was happy because he was a legacy and an in-state kid. But I still wondered if Cal had just bowed to pressure and hoped he would not be in over his head.
I remember thinking how bad it would be for him to come here where his Dad (and Mom) were stars and not be good enough to cut it.
I have never been so glad to have been proven wrong about anything in my life.
He has far exceeded my expectations and is a pleasure to watch. I salute you young man and am looking forward to watching you as the season goes on.
Any body else have feelings like this going in to it ?

For the first time AJ Dybantsa can be listed as having an offer from Kentucky...

David breaks down where all of UK's targets landed in the rankings.

South Carolina private school teacher and mother-of-two, 27, is arrested for preying on 17-year-old high school footballer - as his mother says 'she has ruined our son's life'​

• Reagan Anderson, 27, has been arrested for preying on a 17-year-old high school football player

Does anyone know about some rumors going around about the off-season for EKU football? I hear it’s going to be a wild one!

@Travis Graf @David Sisk knowing that absolutely nothing is set in stone when it comes to kids staying in college…What has been said about Reeds ability to translate to the NBA? He’s a highly skilled all around good player but at 6’3” does he translate there now or in the future? And if he does translate what is the chance he’s already being eyed to be drafted next year?
