Bad Takes You Have Had

Lotta people loved that UofL win but to be fair he was kinda rolling at a non basketball power and nobody knew he was a drunk.
He was a great player, too bad his best years weren’t in the league but even out of shape and hurt he was still pretty good.That slim Arvydas Sabonis was going to make people forget about Kareem.
I would just say the fact that Calipari couldn't possibly tank like he did. I was totally wrong. I literally didn't think it was possible. But I cannot stop crazy.
My dad went to High School With Papa John and wanted to invest 10 grand in his first pizza store in Jeff but mom wouldn’t let him. Bad mistake mom.
I’ve got mine around somewhere. I’ll dig it up in a few years to see if it’s worth anything.
That Cal is the last person I thought KY basketball would slip under.
I get it, I mean Tubby’s like Slim Jim’s - you love ‘em or you hate ‘em. That was a zero as a recruiting class, but directly followed the ‘04-‘05 recruiting class that was #1 in the nation (Rondo, Bradley, Morris and Crawford).
I will admit that I thought that with the right recruiting class he'd have players he could just roll the ball out too, and they'd make playground pussies out of the other teams come tournament time. The moment he started his "come watch him (Shaedon) in warmups", I knew 100% that his recruiting classes were not about winning anything.
That was the expectation that many put on him.
I used to believe when Cal started at UK that he was a good coach. Turns out he is a shell of a coach and his assistants got him this far in life.
I thought BCG would be better than he was. I knew it was a new low when he had Stevenson block a free throw and he had deer in the headlights look a lot of the time.

I thought Kevin Knox was going to be the closest thing to Kevin Durant that we'd see when he got to the NBA.
I have a few.
After one exhibition game, I thought Shagari could become a great player. I didn’t think it would happen his freshman year, but as a sophomore or junior, he would be dominant.
That may be only one, but it’s bad enough to equal a few.

Right there with you, I had went to Rupp for that tournament game where he had beat Louisville, he seemed like an up and coming coach and was excited for the change at the time.
I always thought Cal was a good in game coach. Evansville, Oakland, St Peters and many other teams let me know that I was so wrong.
I believed that how we played last year “without our three 7 footers” early in the season that once we got them in, nobody could beat us.
