Hell UK is number 3 in the SEC, Auburn and Arkansas have passed UK.
Arky has Passed UK in 2 Years…
- Thread starter WolfTix
- Start date
Just like a Cal sycophant, living in the past to excuse the fecklessness of the present.
I miss celebrating elite eights. How long has it been.@ celebrating a couple of Elite 8s…
Learning on the job at UK, hilarious.
Dook was not the best team they got bailed out an numerous occasions so Duck Fook and k also.
Dude , haven’t you heard about the tubby wars . There was ABSOLUTELY discontent from about 2004 until tubby finally left . The last few years were VERY similar to what is going on right now .
He is a great coach, and yes, we are very lucky to have him. Yes, he is emotional, celebrates like crazy after big wins, but he and the staff prepare and coach so hard he relishes the success. He has said that his biggest regret at Nevada while coaching Cody and Caleb Martin was that they didn't celebrate victories. They would win by 10 and be upset and disappointed that they didn't win by 15-20.
Just listening to his preparation and game adjustments makes my head spin at times. He mentioned in an interview on Jim Rome after the New Mexico State game that he and the staff had reviewed old NBA notes on Kobe, Lebron, and others on the best approach on how to defend Teddy Allen. He also stated during the in-game interview that Arkansas was deploying different coverages and had already used four. It worked to perfection, Allen had 37 points the previous game, finished with 12 against Arkansas.
He has been through the basketball wars at multiple levels, has a huge amount of NBA coaching experience with himself and with those on the staff, and many don't know he actually finished second in NBA coach of the year voting at one time.
I don't see him leaving Arkansas for another college coaching job unless UCLA or possibly USC opens up. He is a west coast guy, Arkansas will not be outbid for him, his wife has family in Arkansas and he knows he can recruit and win in Fayetteville.
Speaking of recruiting, which many thought was his weakness, Arkansas has a Top 5 recruiting class for next season already signed, and a legitimate chance to get 5 Star Anthony Black on Monday.
No, Arkansas has not surpassed and will not surpass the tradition of Kentucky Basketball, but things are definitely on solid ground in Fayetteville right now.

If you think Arkansas as a program has passed UK your extremely stupid and uninformed. 2 seasons do not make a program. Some of you fans are an embarrassment to the BBN, and you’re right there at the top of them.
Elite 8s are considered failures at uk. I know because I keep hearing how since 2015 uk has sucked and 2017 and 2019 were big failure seasons.
Ur an embarassment…u like watching Arky beat us in Fayetteville? U like Arky playing in back to back Elite 8’s??
U LIKE SITTING HOME LAST YEAR??
U like being embarassed by St Peter?
U are Joke with your live of Cal
Cal has been to a ''couple of elite 8s'' since 2015 and people cant get enough.
Arkansas isn’t a basketball powerhouse like UK was. It really is amazing that they have been to two straight Elite 8’s, their first since 1995. But hey, Calipari had been to two straight Sweet 64’s. Oh wait. No actually he hasn’t, but he’s been to one straight Sweet 64. Woo wee!!! Let’s hang a banner boys!!!
