You guys do know Kerr Kriisa is completely healthy

and has been for about a month. I have it on good authority he told Pope he didn’t want to play because he could maintain his eligibility and strike another deal next year. I have mixed emotions about this. You can’t blame him from a business perspective, it’s smart. However, from UK’s perspective, they paid him for his services and he is refusing to render them. This will never come out because Pope is covering for him, which he has to do to save face with future recruits. Just know, Kerr might not be the complete team player he pretends to be. This is not an accusation. It comes from a rock solid source close to the program.

Postseason Grades - Individual Players

Providing a grade for how I felt each player performed in five categories throughout the 2024-25 season. This is highly subjective and is MY opinion and I look forward to your corrections, as I’m sure others may see it differently. Understand that the entire scope of the season was considered, so if a player shot good at the end of the year but terribly at the beginning, their rating would be somewhere closer to the middle. Also, my ratings are not graded on a curve relative to a position, with the exception of rebounding. All ratings are raw ratings except rebounding, which I graded on a slight curve based on position. I’ll probably regret this lol.

Big Ten: Zero for the 21st Century

The century is a quarter gone now and the entire Big Ten has yet to win a college basketball championship (before anyone asks, the 21st Century began Jan. 1, 2001.)

A possibly more impressive record of ineptitude: The entire conference has won one college basketball championship since the 1980s...

That's really a pretty unbelievable record of failure for a conference of, now, 18 mostly very large universities, many of them with extremely well-funded athletic departments and that consider themselves historically significant programs.

Refs tried to hand that to Tech

But they started missing free throws.

Called a bad foul in the back court when Tech was up 6 - sent guy to the line to shoot 1/1.

He misses the front end.

Florida hits a 3.

Game momentum swings on a bad call with 2+ minutes left and Tech fails to convert.


If he hits those 2 shots. It’s an 8 pt lead and we forget all of this.
