How much did he have on the game?

That was the second worst single officiating performance I've ever seen(roofaree is #1). Just blatant bad call after blatant bad call. We clearly got the worst of it but the incompetence flowed in both directions.

What in the world was going on? He got his cover.

Will Pope continue this trend?

- 33 on 10/10 from the field. (7/12 Ft)

- 6/6 from 3. 6 asts. 3 reb.

- 32 minutes

- Put the team on his back

- Guarding Hepburn and Edwards kid we got in foul trouble....and Lamont helped with that. He drew quite a few fouls.

- Its clear we are a much better team when Lamont Butler is on the floor. I'm not sure if there's a exact metric for if your team is better or worse bc of you but I bet his is through the roof. Does a ton of little stuff in addition to everything else. Just a winner.

So where does this rank amongst some of the all time great UK performances against UL? Gotta be top 5. 33 on 10/10 shots is stupid efficient. Not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that in modern ball.

Tennessee beats Illinois by going full court to the basket with about 5 seconds left in the game. As I watched the replay several times I noticed that Illinois was playing straight man and nobody moved over to stop the player driving to the basket. How would you have set up the defense differently?

Honestly thought Watson would be the first commitment and mentioned as such earlier in the week, but Sam Greene pulled the trigger first.

Honestly think both of these are pretty solid adds if White thinks they fit well in the scheme.

My favorite football game of the year! Can’t wait.

1. Tennessee
2. Auburn
3. Iowa St.
4. Duke
5. Kentucky
6. Alabama
7. Florida

Doubt that has ever happened for any conference.

Not starting in speculation but was wondering if it is possible for someone to transfer between semesters and be eligible to play immediately?

We could use a backup pg badly. The SEC is going to be a killer and I can see Butler getting two quick fouls especially on the road with SEC officials.

I don’t know how to post pictures on here but there’s a picture already floating around of The scrum and pope trying to break it up and it looks like he has Kelsey in a headlock. Can someone find and post? Good stuff lol

How both teams made sure the spread was secured?

Please, stop betting on sports!

We were dinged up a little after a shaky but successful week.

Auburn’s performance to date is unprecedented in the time I’ve been doing this. More than ready for the SEC road to take a few bites out of them.

Reminder that a perfect score in this model is a 6. No one has won the tournament in my time doing this without scoring at least 2 going into the tournament.

This time last year, 14 teams were at 2.0 or better, vs. 19 this year. 35 teams were at 1.0 or better this time last year vs. 49 season.

Top team this time last year was Arizona at 4.02. Eventual champ UConn was in 3rd at 2.74.

Here’s the latest:

1. Auburn 5.10
2. Gonzaga 3.66
3. Tennessee 3.61
4. Duke 3.06
5. Iowa St 3.03
6. UConn 2.93
7. Kansas 2.74
8. Houston 2.54

Driving up from South Carolina for Alabama weekend. Taking daughters and wife to the gymnastics competition that Friday night. I am planning on going to the basketball game Saturday. Do prices tend to drop closer to Gametime? I am staying at the Rupp hotel so I will be right there anyway.

They have no chance.

We dropped 3 spots. Senseless

Ohio State and Brown.

Best Louisville will play all year. Hats off to them - took their best punch.

Thank heavens for Butler.

10-1.

What a lifelong ride.

That’s crazy to me and a product of media hype. How is it not Beatty from Boise with 2,500 yards and like 30 TDs or the Oregon QB?

I’m having a harder time hating this UL team. It’s always been easy to hate them. Their coach seems like an ok guy. Their players just play hard. They got away with a lot of fouls, but that’s on the refs
Obviously, I’m glad we beat them. Probably won’t think about them one way or the other the rest of this season.

Was just looking at the schedule why the hell do we play Florida at 11:00 am on January 4th.
