Stuck in an espn void.

Anybody noticed if the new rules are having any effect on the block charge. The rule is supposed to keep other guys from running in front of other players.

I don’t know if anyone on here sits in sections 207 or 206 at Kroger Field, but we had an accident with an older gentleman falling face first down the steps right beside us on Saturday. 4 or 5 of us jumped up to hold his head and I tried to keep him from falling down the steps even more.

Maybe someone that was at the game knows who this gentleman is and would be able to give an update into his condition. Emergency services came after we got him up and sitting and took him to get checked out further. Thanks in advance if anyone on here can let us know if he’s doing ok.

I'll say Reed. He just makes BB plays. He makes everyone around him better. I know that's asking alot of a freshman in his third game and against a blueblood but I think he is up for it.

Taking a look at the rosters for A&M and MSU to find out who Kentucky could target.

Planning to head to Columbia this weekend. Any tips or things to do? How are their fans towards the visitors? I still need to get a couple tickets so seating suggestions welcome too

If 2024 is only considered “good”, the 2025 recruiting class is going to be amazing. The next three years are going to be a blast!

before the Early Signing Period concludes Wednesday. It will be between Kentucky and Missouri as you know. I just spoke to his dad, and wanted to get the information to you before it was published.

Anyone else troubled by this? Reporting via KSR:

The Kentucky head coach is among the many coaches who claim they don’t read what their critics are saying online. Stoops took it a step farther during Monday’s press conference.

“About six months ago or five months, I don’t know, I got a new phone. I don’t know how to work it no more. I don’t, I swear I don’t.”

He may not know how it works, but I’m pretty sure he knows that Twitter underwent a rebrand.

“I don’t know how to work X so it’s kind of a good thing for me. I don’t see a damn thing. So I just got this (Apple Watch) because I had to make sure my ticker was working right last week. But I don’t know how to use that, so I really don’t pay no mind to it.”


I can understand the “we don’t read the press clippings” coach speak, but I’m really bothered by the fact that he doesn’t seem able to adapt to minor changes in technology. If he cant use a phone, does this affect our recruiting? Does it affect his ability to use technology when it comes to game planning, metrics, etc? Can he use an iPad or excel?

Is he just finally feeling a little pressure and stumbling around his excuses like some sort of dullard? This is such a stupid lie and reeks of inner helpless desperation.

Versus AP#1 teams, UK is:

4-2 at home

0-3 away

5-10 at Neutral sites

Posted this on Rafters but thought some analytical minds on HOB might enjoy as well:

Here are some early season rays of sunshine (via Kenpom) to give the BBN a little hope for how this season plays out.

Keep in mind it’s only been 2 games but:

• UK is currently ranked 136th in 3PA/FGA. For perspective, they ranked 330th in 2023 and 351 (out of 352!!!) in 2022. No bigs has forced Cal to play 5 out and the 3’s are flying.
• UK currently ranks 22nd in defensive steal %, getting a steal on 15.4% of opponents possessions.
• UK is currently ranked 1st in TO percentage, with an average of 4.5 per game. In the same light, they rank 2nd in offensive steal %, with teams only stealing the ball on 2.2% of possessions thus far.
• Average offensive possession length is at 14.9 seconds thus far, good for 36th in the country. For comparison, UK’s average possession was over 17 seconds last year and ranked 151st at year end.
• On the defensive side, UK’s opponents possessions have lasted an average of 20.3 seconds, which ranks 355th and is the lowest in the country. In other words, UK is forcing very long possessions in which they’re having to guard for longer than any other team in the country. Their overall tempo ranks 283rd, but this is mostly due to how long the possessions have been when their opponents have the ball.
• The biggest difference from years past (due to no Oscar) is obviously offensive rebound %. UK currently ranks 215th in the country, compared to 4th in 2022 and 1st in 2023.
• Overall, UK currently sits at 12th in offensive efficiency and 27th in defensive efficiency.

Kenpom has KU ranked as the #3 team in the country and UK ranked at #14. Per his model and algorithm, he has KU winning the game tomorrow night by a score of 76-72. For reference, the game lines currently sit at KU -6 (opened at KU -4.5) with the O/U at 147.5 per Draftkings. If that line moves back towards UK closer to game time, we should all feel great about our chances as that’ll mean the sharp money has come in on the Cats.

If KU is able to slow it down and turn it into a half court game, I’m not sure that UK will be able to pull it out. My thoughts are that the cats need to force 6+ steals, hit 8+ threes and score 20+ in transition to come away with a W.

With Adou playing, I feel better about UK’s chances overall. Since I’m a sucker for punishment, I’d take UK +4.5 and over 147.5. My hope is this turns into a track meet and the UK guards feast in transition all night. Regardless, this UK team is built different and is more of a 2009, 2017, 2020 type of team and less of a 2021-2023 team (thank God). They’ll probably have a few bumps from now through January but I see an elite 8 at minimum type team in March if they stay healthy.

Most HS QBs not being a proven thing delays them getting paid until they transfer it would seem. UT paid seven figures for a QB but have played Milton all year. If it’s just Monopoly money anyway then I guess no biggie but if not.

8 digits doesn't sound like all hat no cattle to me.

Beamer and company are a lot better team at home ? Rattler completes over 75% of his passes at home and has thrown majority of his touchdowns at home. Kys defense has to , I repeat has to show up Saturday ? I’m really worried that They get up big early and we know how that goes for us ! I think it’s hilarious that we are favored when S.C. Averages over 300 yds per game at home. Our zone defense will be picked to death if Brad White doesn’t come up with something to change our look on defense? Imo and it’s may be in minority but Brad is coaching for his job this Saturday ? I believe we can move the ball on them and should be able to run the ball. That being said we can’t have drive stalling penalties in false starts and holding . Never mind the personal foul after play penalties. We are not a disciplined team and this is a game we must be focused on ? It’s another Qb that can burn you with his legs.

Should we expect these games from a coach that makes 8.6 mil a yr? 🤷
