    Duke loses another player

    I think B-Dubs has a deal for those on Tuesdays.

    Jeremy Roach in the portal

    As others have said in this thread - Roach would start and get 30 mpg next year. We should be all in to get that guy.

    Goodman, Seth Davis, JWill celebrating Pope hire

    What’s even worse is that Pope’s best seasons at BYU were the first two right after he took over from Rose. They fell in conference standings over time.

    WTF - Mark F’ing Pope? WTF am I seeing????

    It’s one hell of a gamble. You’re basically praying that Pope has every attribute of a Hall of Famer but was held back by his program, and that taking over at Kentucky will unlock the success he’s never had. I’m betting it doesn’t, but would LOVE to be wrong.

    The program has only one way to go

    It's always possible to do worse, but it's unlikely. Even throwing out the COVID-19 season, Cal's win rate in the last three seasons has been 70%, heavily padded by junk opponents. Add to that home losses against Evansville and UNC-Wilmington, and a total of two post-season wins in a three-year...

    I’m worried

    That is, without a doubt, what is going to happen and we all know why. Any AD who makes his university a hostage to an impossible buyout should be fired the moment it’s raised as an obstacle.

    Cal has taken my joy

    Same. First time in many years I’ve missed a Kentucky tournament game. Didn’t bother to watch because I knew this would happen. After watching Cal continue to fumble with the lineup right up until the end and then the choke job against Texas A&M, my Calipari spider sense promised catastrophe...

    FIRE HIM TONIGHT

    “Built for March.” Just pray we don’t run into any juggernauts like the Peacocks or Golden Grizzlies.

    Call my crazy, but...

    I would stake everything I own betting that this does not happen. Been through this cycle enough times with Calipari. Wagner and Sheppard are 100% gone, and Bradshaw strikes me as one of those EJ Montgomery-type guys who has no business leaving but will anyway.

    I’m so tired

    Really looking forward to our new tradition of a first weekend loss followed by 90% of the team’s scoring leaving for the NBA. Good times.

    Doug Shows, Olandis Poole and Owen Shortt

    We have played like garbage, but nobody pretend this officiating has been acceptable. Multiple crucial swings in this game are the direct result of an atrocious call or no-call.

    Julius Randle on Cal

    That’s a great clip. Thanks for sharing!

    SEC Tournament Bracket and Game Times here

    Perfect draw for Kentucky. We may not win out, but I couldn’t have asked for a better bracket.

    Scott Drew to UL?

    His salary in 2023 was $3.7 million, and he received a $1.7 million bonus when he signed his latest contract in 2021, so he made over $5 million that year. If he solicited offers from other schools, he could probably find a better one, but I’m confident Baylor has the resources and will to match...

    I know how I'm going to get sucked into believing......

    The version of this strategy that makes sense to me is the one Cal will never do - run a zone defense. It’ll save our guys’ legs to focus on scoring 100 every game and take away the straight-line layups that have killed us. If a team beats us from behind the arc, fine. But it will never...

    Same shit different year

    This one is on Cal. Had no game plan to deal with the hard hedge defense.

    "That team's scary as hell." Randolph Childress and John Henson praise Kentucky, say they are their Final Four favorites.

    It feels like if Big Z is as elite as he looked in his first game and Thiero remains injured, then the split is pretty straightforward. These 6 should be 185 out of 200 minutes per game: Wagner Reeves Sheppard Dillingham Mitchell Ivisic

    Orlando/Cal Exchange During Mizzou Game

    We are 100% NOT running a low post offense this year and it feels great.

    My current top 16…

    I continue to be amazed by the percentage of the population that does not understand how statistical models work. These threads always have a half dozen posts like “Hahaha [insert team] lost twice this week and KenPom/Torvik/Aike still has them ranked #2, he’s crazy!!” PSA for the four hundred...
