Sumrall staying put

B
Thought everyone on here would be happy to hear this. I’d Imagine this is because of his ideal win now: playoff potential at Tulane, coupled with the possibility of his alma Mater opening up next year.

Unrelated: I think next year might be stoops last regardless, if he gets us to 8-4 or 7-5 he will take another job (Iowa open?). If we suck again, why get into such nastiness.

For Old-Timers; Was that Dale Brown's 'Ameba' Defense in 2nd Half?

O
I know Dale Brown at LSU used to run a defense he called 'ameba'. It started as a zone look and either stayed zone or morphed into man depending on which side the offense made the first pass. I believe what Pope was doing was something similar to that. I know sometimes he stayed zone the whole possession, but most times it changed to man. I wasn't sure what the trigger was? Some of you old time X and O guys weigh in.

* Editor's note *
From The Murray Ledger & Times 3-26-2019:

Rupp’s hatred for the zone defense was legendary. It was bad for the game, he said. But in 1964, he used a scrambling 1-3-1 zone effectively to dismantle Tennessee 66-57. After the game, the Baron denied it was a zone. “That was no zone,” chided Rupp. “that was a stratified, transitional, hyperbolic paraboloid.”​

Stock Advice Thread

dgtatu01
Let's start a Stock Advice thread where posters can drop stock tips for each other and dissect each others investments. I will start.


For all you value investors out there, there is a really good play in Gilead Sciences GILD. They are currently trading at only 7.2X their earnings. They have a dividend yield of 2.3%. The payout ration is tiny at 15% so the dividend is more than safe. Their Hepatitis C business is declining, but it will be a cash cow for years to come. They have new HIV drugs in the pipeline and a possible cure for non-alcoholic fatty liver coming as well.

This is not a buy and sell soon, this is something to add to your IRA and set on it for 10 years. Good luck and do your own research before buying!!!

Portal Rankings

Snowcats86
Looking at 247 their current portal ranking is not a great look for UK. They have the following:

#4 Dane Key
#9 Barion Brown
#21 Keeshawn Silver

Those rankings will change a lot over the next few weeks but as of right now UK and Nebraska are the only schools with 2 guys in the top 10 transferring out and UK is the only school with 3 guys in the top 25.

I know there have been some mixed feelings on here about those guys but that is some serious talent leaving. Granted we were 4-8 this year but still.

****MLB 24 Season Thread****

ctroberts1024
Braves are loaded once again. Gonna be looking forward to watching y’all Red’s fan battle it out with Chicago.

For division winners I have:
Baltimore Orioles
Minnesota Twins
Houston Astros
Atlanta Braves
Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers

Soto for AL MVP but I also placed a bet on Bobby Witt Jr to win MVP
Acuna for the NL MVP

Braves obviously are my pick to win the World Series. I think we have the best lineup in baseball and I think it’s not really that close. Bullpen is my only concern.

EDGE Caleb Redd in the portal

G
Another edge guy in the portal - need to bolster that position. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd ever heard of Redd before seeing his name this morning. A 2024 signee - I guess he thought he'd be starting by now? How can you know that UK is not the place for you if you've only been on the team one year and basically never played? Maybe he looks around and sees he's been recruited over - I don't know.

Boise St forfeits Mntn West volleyball tourny

JonathanW
After advancing to the semifinals of the Mountain West tournament, the Boise St women’s volleyball team forfeited their semi-finals match vs San Jose St, The coach said it wasn’t an easy decision, but “They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”

5 other schools have also canceled games vs San Jose St this season. The Nevada team after forfeiting said they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,”.

Even though they have not said what exactly this is about, I think we all know .

I applaud these strong young women for standing up for themselves.

Katz's Power 37

Smashcat

The March Madness Power 37
​

  1. Tennessee (Prev. 3, 8-0): The Vols take a turn at No. 1. Chaz Lanier has been dominant of late. He’s led Tennessee in scoring in the last four games with 26, 25, 18 and 26.
  2. Auburn (Prev. 1, 8-1): The Tigers shouldn’t drop more than a spot after losing at Duke.
  3. Iowa State (Prev. 6, 7-1): The Cyclones beat Marquette at home by 11 — one of the best wins of the season, thus far.
  4. Marquette (Prev. 4, 9-1): The Golden Eagles followed up the loss at Iowa State by pulling away from Wisconsin behind 32 from Kam Jones.
  5. Kentucky (Prev. 5, 8-1): The Wildcats split the week by following up the loss at Clemson with a thrilling OT win over Gonzaga in Seattle.
  6. Duke (Prev. 8, 7-2): The Blue Devils had quite a week with a win over Auburn and then a comeback win at Louisville to open the ACC.
  7. Alabama (Prev. 11, 7-2): The Tide went to North Carolina and blitzed the Tar Heels.
  8. Clemson (Prev. 37, 9-1): The Tigers had a season-changing week by knocking off Kentucky and opening the ACC with a road win at Miami.
  9. Florida (Prev. 9, 9-0): The Gators will get tested mightily against ASU and North Carolina in the next week.
  10. Michigan (Prev. 16, 8-1): Love this Wolverines team. They are the surprise of the Big Ten and won at Wisconsin and outlasted Iowa.
  11. Purdue (Prev. 10, 8-2): The Boilermakers split their Big Ten games, losing at Penn State and knocking off Maryland.
  12. Kansas (Prev. 2, 7-2): I’m not ready to completely drop Kansas. They had two very difficult road games at Creighton and rival Missouri. Let’s wait another week on the Jayhawks.
  13. UConn (Prev. NR, 7-3): The Huskies are back. We had to wait and see after the 0-3 in Maui. UConn beat Baylor and then won at Texas.
  14. UCLA (Prev. NR, 8-1): Welcome back to the Bruins, who shocked Oregon in Eugene Sunday on a Dylan Andrews buzzer-beater after beating Washington at home to open the Big Ten 2-0.
  15. Michigan State (Prev. 26, 8-2): The Spartans have finally found their groove, starting the Big Ten 2-0 with wins at Minnesota and over Nebraska.
  16. Gonzaga (Prev. 13, 7-2): The Bulldogs lost a heartbreaker to Kentucky in OT in Seattle. They have a few more tests with UConn at MSG and UCLA in LA in the next few weeks.
  17. Oregon (Prev. 7, 9-1): The Ducks lost their first game of the season to UCLA after winning at USC.
  18. Oklahoma (Prev. 19, 9-0): Porter Moser has his best team in Norman. Huge tests coming up against Oklahoma State and Michigan.
  19. Ole Miss (Prev. 20, 8-1): The Rebels knocked off Louisville on the road and are quietly cruising in the non-conference.
  20. Illinois (Prev. 15, 6-2): The Illini shouldn’t get punished too much for an overtime loss at rival Northwestern.
  21. Penn State (Prev. NR, 8-1): Mike Rhoades may have one of the sleepers in the country after the Nittany Lions knocked off Purdue and look like an upper-division Big Ten team.
  22. Texas A&M (Prev. 24, 8-2): The Aggies have won four in a row with all of them coming against power schools, including former rival Texas Tech.
  23. Maryland (Prev. 28, 8-2): The Terps nearly got Purdue Sunday in West Lafayette after blitzing Ohio State.
  24. Missouri (Prev. NR, 8-1): Say hello to the Tigers, who were 0-18 in the SEC last season. Missouri beat rival Kansas Sunday to send a strong message to the rest of the SEC that they have returned from the abyss.
  25. Arizona State (Prev. 21, 8-1): The Sun Devils beat Saint Mary’s and have just one blemish — at Gonzaga.
  26. San Diego State (Prev. 22, 6-2): The Aztecs appear to be one of the two teams to beat again in the Mountain West.
  27. Baylor (Prev. 18, 5-3): The Bears were injured at UConn but could have maybe pulled off the win if healthy. They’ve had a brutal slate with Tennessee and UConn in two of their last three games.
  28. Wisconsin (Prev. 12, 8-2): The Badgers lost a tough home game to Michigan and then had to go to Marquette. Rough week after an 8-0 start.
  29. Creighton (Prev. NR, 7-3): The Bluejays are back after winning three in a row, including Kansas.
  30. Dayton (Prev. 30, 8-2): Love this Flyers crew. Massive test for them coming up when they host Marquette.
  31. Mississippi State (Prev. NR, 8-1): I shouldn’t have dropped the Bulldogs last week. And the convincing win over Pitt was a strong indicator of why that was a mistake.
  32. Drake (Prev. 23, 8-0): The Bulldogs haven’t lost. Yes, I dropped them based more on competition, but they don’t appear to be going anywhere.
  33. West Virginia (Prev. 32, 6-2): The Mountaineers got a good draw in the Big 12-Big East Challenge with Georgetown. They won’t get tested again until playing at Kansas on New Year’s.
  34. Saint Mary’s (Prev. 33, 9-1): The Gaels won at Utah for a quality true road win.
  35. Utah State (Prev. 29, 9-0): The Aggies have the win over Iowa in KC but the tests will come soon enough against Saint Mary’s and San Diego State on the road.
  36. Georgia (Prev. 36, 8-1): The Bulldogs have one blemish and it's against one of the best teams in the country in Marquette.
  37. Rhode Island (Prev. NR, 9-0): Archie Miller told me in the preseason that he thought this would be his best and most competitive team. He was right. The Rams beat rival Providence and will be in the A-10 title chase.
Dropped out: Cincinnati (14), Memphis (17), Pitt (25), Texas (27), Louisville (31), Xavier (34), Butler (35).
Under consideration: Houston, UC Irvine, Texas Tech, St. John’s, Washington State, Loyola-Chicago.

Whats the deal guys????

B
I don't understand the negativity towards ANY of these guys. Kriissa, Williams, Carr, Jaxson...I've seen various posters lambasting all these guys at one time or another.

If you haven't noticed.. this ain't Calipari ball...it's about the team being greater than the individual rather than 'oh he needs to be the only shooter'.

Ease back and enjoy this new style rode as far as it takes us.
