Cal vs Pitino, what's your thoughts, it's going to happen Saturday

[Blueathletics]

in the tournament...Why?

Because it's so like Calipari to try to 'get back at' somebody for his perception (which is wrong) of being sh*t on....that's how petty he is

Even though he left on his own, he certainly could hear the fanbase after all the early tournament flameouts his last few years....instead of trying to right the ship he tucks his coward azz tail and runs

He now has the chance to show how wrong the naysayers were and man is he motivated!

Go Pitino, go St. Johns!

Here come the whistles now.

a 2 seed to a team that didnt beat a top 30 team ALL SEASON ??? WTH .. I guess the committee didnt have all the facts .. I mean we had more top 5 wins than they did versus the top 35-40 ?? They deserved a 4 or a 5 seed .

Despite all the analytics and computer rankings and such, record still matters. Their record looked better than ours on the surface. That gave them an inflated seed.

Best team in a mediocre conference.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

How any of BBN can pull against either of these men is beyond reason.

They both did great things for UK.

But if you need a tie beaker, every UL fan I know is pulling for St John’s.

 

[ManitouDan]

Never off topic here , but who is the BABE setting at the scorer's table , dark haired lady .

 

[UKSanders]

He's Cal's bitch. No if and's or buts.

Cal priming for a 2014 type run.

Which is why I would’ve just preferred that he flame out on the first round vs Kansas

 

[Kerry Kat]

You can NOT leave the lane open with the pigs 🐷 Dribble Drive is all he has.

 

[gharding07]

Because they didn’t play 1 game all season against a team that finished ranked in the top 25. And you’re not reading that wrong.

Yep this!

He's still not getting past UF.

 

[true blue1]

How in the hell did they win 31 games? Their shooting is an abomination.

They’re as bad of shooting team as Troy was.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan]

They’re as bad of shooting team as Troy was.

Agree

 

[thebluestripes]

pitino might wanna go back to a 2 /3 zone

 

[Kerry Kat]

BS call

 

[Kybluedude]

Just can’t pull for the eye pokers.

 

[Kerry Kat]

Refs are playing tight 😂😂😂

 

[zannmann]

Two point game five minutes to go. Time for Cal’s butt to pucker.

 

[southvillecat]

Somebody mentioned the rims being tight in another thread. I think they were right. Seems like the ball is bouncing all over the damn things and just don’t want to drop.

 

[dynastydreamuk]

I see like 4 threads just got combined and 3 had different topics really... it's too much to follow now. Oh well.

Arkansas has this in the bag. It's over

 

[storm1507]

Fun game to watch since I don't care who wins. I wish they both would lose.

 

[L.O.D.]

Seeing Cal get to 16 beating Ksnsas and the 2 seed to do it is almost as bad as UK losing tommorow.

 

[FurdTerguson]

Feels a lot like the UK-U of L Sweet 16 game in 2014. So intense and somehow it keeps ratcheting up more

Go Pitino, go St. Johns!

This is such a dumb take.
Yes he left. Don't act like he wasn't ran out of town. That's completely not true. He wasn't wanted and he left.
Right the ship? Hell he tried and couldn't

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

If we played with even half of this intensity on defense, our team defense would improve significantly.

This board will be Ina. Depression that will hopefully be lifted tomorrow around 6

This was a great 2 matchup for Arky. These are the same two teams but one of them is longer and more athletic.

 

[L.O.D.]

This is setting up as worst case senerio.

 

[ukcatz12]

I guess I'm somewhat jealous or mad Arkansas is going to walk to the elite 8 and make us look crazy.... but Cal definitely needed to go.

In what world is a potential S16 game against Texas Tech a walk to the E8?

Oh shut up calboi

It's not and unless thiero plays I'd favor tech n that one.

 

[JudgeSmells24]

Cal is going to mess around and get him another final four

 

[Smashcat]

St. John’s has not played one team this year currently in the KenPom top 25. Marquette is #26. They are not going to look as good as East Coast folks think they are Saturday imo.

👍👍 Check mark winner.

He did the same thing to us as he did to Memphis when he left them.

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

Ellen’s tears—though they’re happy tears—makes me sad for her. I know she experienced pain leaving Lexington that was not her fault….

 

[YardCat]

This is why I wanted Kansas to beat Arkansas. I’m sick to my stomach

 

[cats#1again]

I don't think they can beat Florida no matter how hot they get. So there's that

 

[UKSouthpaw]

Anybody know why the Big East POY sat on Pitino's bench for so many minutes down the stretch?

Yeah, dislike Cal for whatever reason, that can’t be easy on a spouse.

Bad coaching imo. I’m assuming it’s because he was 3-17 from the field, but he has to be in there.
