Good game today, Cats

Haha I enjoy your humor!
 
Yeah BBN would have been fine with it when Hurley was being mentioned for our coach. Also I have seen you plenty here and have no problems seeing other fan bases post here. As long as their not one hit wonders with posts. Love Fletch as well!

Fletch is a movie everyone should be required to watch. It’s so dang good.

Tennessee is the worst matchup in the country for us unfortunately. They don’t allow 3s and they very physical. I hope we can win. But good luck to you all(minus the game @rupp lol)

Oddly enough, I like your matchup vs UTjr. I see a W at TBA Tuesday.
 
Was a hard fought game. After the first half, looked ugly and UK was tough coming out. Both teams battled, and I think both teams have hired coaches that will be there for a long time. Should be fun to watch the battles moving forward.

Oweh is a monster, he’s one of my favorite guys to watch in the SEC. Butler had a forgettable day, Robinson is a consistent player. Not having Carr probably hurt the Cats today.

We are very fortunate to have beaten a very good Kentucky team. We have another one in Rupp in a few weeks, so I’m sure the Cats will exact some revenge on us.

Thanks for letting me hang here a little during basketball season. This place is fantastic.

SEC hoops is madness. Pope is a baller, go beat UTjr.

Curious. Are you an alum of Vandy and if so when did you attend?

Just a thought but do you think it's good sportsmanship to not allow us to have a shoot around at our designated time? And only inform us an hour in advance that we can't?
 
I used to work in Eastern KY and have a soft spot for good hearted UK fans. For a long time it seemed like you were the only other fanbase in the SEC that cared about basketball. I have several friends who are UK fans. I really think you guys hired a good coach. Don’t mean to offend you.

Everything you say is true, we did try to hire Byington during the NCAA Tournament. While I was in no way involved in the hiring process, I wish I was and would have done the same thing.

Not sure I understand the beef.
Maybe I like my college basketball too much to believe there is still some honors left….

Yes , Kentucky did the same with Calipari .See what did to us…..karma is always fixing things …

Your coach prepares games very well.., after Vandy contacted him he didn’t prepare at all against Duke. JMU could have easily win that game with right preparation. He did wrong by the JMU players and fan base….

He still prepares games very well .. in every detail and now at Vandy where he has access to deeper pockets and influence his arsenal of game preparation expanded to not allowing shoot around for opposing team and interesting non calls sequence from Mike Nance…

Other than that no beef … good game and we can’t wait to return you the favor in Rupp.

It gave us Four Final Fours, a National
Championship and made us a national force again for 10 years.

The last five years weren’t great but I wouldn’t trade those first ten for much else basketball wise.

True…. So did 4 us other 4 Coaches… my post was not about contesting Cal but saying that when you act in a certain way life returns you the favor..

Nah your good man especially with us older fans. Just post more so your not irrelevant.

He sure seemed to prepare them for Wisconsin! They were a 12 seed on the standard NCAA two-day spacing. In fact I think it was Friday night to Sunday afternoon if memory serves. How would you distinguish a team that didn't prepare at all for the 2nd round from an underdog that pulled a huge upset, ran out of gas, and lost to Duke? (It's a sincere question. I'd be bothered if I thought he tanked a game through indifference.)

No doubt "people close to VU" had backchannel communications with "people close to Byington" for weeks to "gauge interest." That's how it seems to work these days. That doesn't mean that he neglected to coach JMU.

...his arsenal of game preparation expanded to not allowing shoot around for opposing team...
VU offered a choice of rescheduled times last night. UK declined them. If that's the difference between winning and losing then maybe declining the rescheduled shootaround wasn't the right call.

At any rate thanks for your comments. I think we both got good young coaches.

False . Before the tournament he was in talks with WVa.

Vandy happened when he got two big “recommendations” one via family ties and one via brotherhood connection becoming official interest during the tournament…


Yes, a small team like JMU had a coach incapable of preparing for two games in a row especially when the family ties helped him prepared for the Wisky game…..JMU never played in Sunbelt tournament…must be a true miracle for the same Coach to prepare for TN and Kentucky in a short time span…

. He is very capable Coach…so enjoy him!

I’m sick of playing like dog water in the first half but again we fought back. If we put two halves together we may be good again. I knew that would be a tough game, congrats.

Elite Avatar, F2M. 😂

I knew y’all were storming back, feel like I’ve seen Pope’s Cats do that 2-3 times already this season.

I think y'all have some good parts and getting Carr back is going to be a huge deal. I still think Brea needs 10 shots every game, dude is eventually going to catch a heater and change games.

Yeah I wish we would run some action for him to get him some shots.
