You really can’t trust Houston’s offense re winning 6 consecutive games.
Well if Fields plays 51% of snaps it turns into a 4th round pick instead of a 6th so they’ll definitely play Wilson 9 games or whatever to make sure that deal stays in place.
Kelvin Sampson said before game that he wasn’t particularly worried about todays game that he was more concerned with the NCAA (sound familiar?). Then his team came out and played like it (sound familiar?). 41 points, 18 in the 2nd half.
In my day, coaches were concerned about winning all of the games.
Funny I’ve thought all day this era of fan won’t really ever know what it was to just dominate the SEC like we did.
I truly believe that moving forward we may never own it like we know Pitino and Tubby not to mention Rupp did.
Just a different era and I don’t like it.
The transfer portal has given teams normally a tier below the elites a bit of a more equal playing ground unfortunately for us.
Duke fans are spoiled dorks.
UConn fans are drunk retards.
The difference is, you’ll wake up in the hospital if you cross paths with a bunch of thugs from UConn.
You may take a slap and some fancy-worded diatribe from a Doookiepoosay.
Is UConn a pretty good basketball team? Yes.
But I’m also not convinced the Big East wasn’t complete trash this year.
Only 2 of the top 20 didn’t lose this week with Auburn playing tomorrow to try to make it 3 teams.
This is as wide open a year as anyone could ask. Yeah, there’s a few that look better but no given favorite. Gonna make for some wild Bracket contests and especially gambol.
Eff it, maybe we can get unconscious on offense and they just ignore Cal for 6 games. 🤞

Screw Carolina
Kansas tenn Duke Houston UK Marquette purdue UNC all going down. I believe Iowa St should jump UNC on the seed line but they won't. Overall seeding really shouldn't change. Everyone sans Uconn and IA st lost.

One of my fav days of the year… at this point, we deserve what we get, although it should be a 3 or 4.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since Selection Sunday really meant something. Almost seems like a distant memory.
Please God keep us away from UAB in the first round. Bad juju.
It meant something in 2022, we just went on to suffer the worst tournament loss in school history.
Some half-assed internet research reveals that UAB is coached by Andy Kennedy, has a leading scorer named Yaxel Lendeborg, and another guard named Tony Toney.
Yaxel Lendeborg is only a 6'9, 230 lb two time former JUCO All-American who also averages 10.5 rebounds. I have no idea how many blocks he has because their website is too low rent to have those stats. Sounds like a great match up for our baby 7 footers.
That's exactly the sort of squad that kicks our ass in March these days.
UConn
UAB
Marquette
K State
I’d prefer none of the above. I have probably forgot a couple more.

A team with an average-or-better coach who scouts, that’s who kicks our ass. Helps if they have a waterbug PG. Also helps if we play lots of minutes without RRR on the court.
Can’t believe I forgot UConn when it turns out I bet on them over Marquette but didn’t watch the game.
- Good for Wisconsin, now if Illinois wins are they in the 2seed discussion?
- Yesterday during one of the games they had us has the 4 against Purdue’s 1 and Marquette as the 2 in Chicago.
I’d be happy with that.
- Today I got the Gators and Illini.

Pretty much. I'm not a basketball, but even to MY untrained eye, it seems pretty obvious that Calipari has been, for the vast majority of his career, an habitual underachiever, that regularly strangles the talent out of his teams.
He has survived on bloviation and an absurd ability to recruit.*
*(which, IMO, is based upon placing the wants and needs of the highest profile kids, over the good of the team.)
There is little doubt in my mind, that he has cost us scores of games through his stubborn tendency to play "his guys", when logically, he shouldn't. He's more akin to a Carnival Barker, than a basketball coach.

The only thing that keeps me from just completely writing off his coaching ability is the job he did at UMass . He got that thing rolling before he got Camby, had a 30-win season in 1992 and he did it from a place that was a basketball graveyard. At some point, he had something beyond recruiter/carnival barker. But there's a lot of coaches who eventually become dinosaurs.
