    UK v Seattle 1958 NCAA Championship Game (How the game has changed!)

    I attended the game. The turning point was when Baylor picked up his fourth foul and Seattle was forced to go into a zone defense. Everything moved into Kentucky’s favor at that point. It was interesting to hear the crowds reaction when Seattle came out in a zone defense. An older fan sitting...

    If you can't SCORE, you CAN'T WIN!!!!

    I am astounded that kids with such high recruiting rankings are so bad at basics such as a shooting ,passing ,dribbling. Cal has been fantastic in recruiting players that I considered developmental candidates, kids like Herro, SGA and IQ. But this bunch of recruits is weak to say the least. If I...

    Okoro being generous

    Just for perspective sake, the average Nigerian immigrant makes more than the average white family here in America. Many are exceptionally well educated, come from stable nuclear families and are quite religious whether they are Christian or Muslim. America could do a whole lot worse than have...

    Okoro being generous

    The family comes from Nigeria. They bring a different set of values and capabilities to America. You can trust me he will not be broke within two years of leaving the league.

    ESPN: "Some, not all, coaches share colleges' burden amid coronavirus pandemic"

    There’s already a rebottle on the story published. Cal in the UK athletic department take zero . Look closely at the ESPN article and note the zero to the right of Cal’s name.That means he takes no money from student fees for other university funds. The basketball program indeed the entire...

    Boston a Slam A-A

    If you want confirmation of Boston’s capability, go up on YouTube and look at the game between Sierra Canyon and Minnesota is Minnehaha high. Boston is one of the best looking shooters I have seen in a long time.

    There are a lot of arguments about the greatest NBA player ever.

    I am 81 years old. I saw Wilt play in person at ;east 10 times while attending college in Boston. I played pickup against Oscar during the summer in Cincinnati at the old Fenwick Club. I believe players should be compared within their era using metrics comparing them to their peers within their...

    Did any of you guys attend the 1985 Final Four in Lexington?

    I attended the Saturday games.Having three Big East teams was a bummer. Memphis with Kieth Lee was the fourth team. I along with the world was shocked when Villanova beat Georgetown on Monday night. The Wildcats played nearly perfectly to win and the had to.

    MSU Insider flips on Keion Brooks recruitment...

    I have no insight about Herro's pro prospects or intent to go pro after this year BUT, he seems to be a better defender,rebounder,finisher than Booker was at the same time. I recognize he is not quite the shooter Booker was but he is a 90% free throw shooter. He also seems bigger and stronger...

    OSU vs.IU and Cincinatti vs. Houston

    Yesterday's televised games on CBS offered a n informative contrast. The Big Ten game was a snoozer featuring two teams that are struggling. IU in particular was pathetic. Then on came the day's second game, featuring the AAC's UH vs.UC. This was one of the better games of the year. Both teams...

    Indiana loses...

    I know that Langford is predicted to go in the top 20 or so in the NBA draft but I can't see anything that he does better than Herro. I mean ANYTHING, shoot from 3, shoot from the key on pull ups or floaters, defend or pass. I believe I am objective. What am I missing here?

    OSU-Columbus @ IU-Bloomington

    IU is truly terrible. How they beat MSU is a mystery, They have no consistent 3 ball threat and no post presence. They have only one person who has any chance of playing at the next level and that player (Langford) cannot shoot and is a shaky ball handler. When he "graduates" to the NBA, IU...

    Cats can jump to #3 in the country!!

    Spending time wrangling over ratings seems pointless when we have an upcoming tourney that will unmask all the pretenders. Just for the record. Sagarin has UK as #2 based on his "recent" performance criteria.

    Kentucky will beat UT silly

    Williams has exceptional post moves.UT has a very good experienced team .Fortunately we have 20 fouls to give Williams. We will double him every time he turns his back to the basket. The game will be decided by how well UT's perimeter people shoot. Make no mistake ,UT is a contender for the title.
