"then gotta turn around and play on Tuesday or Wednesday' - at least he realizes he's 1st 4 material. 🤡

Interesting way of phrasing it because if they lose to South Carolina again it seems like they are in real danger of having to play Tuesday or Wednesday.. or potentially missing altogether if there are 4 or 5 bid stealers.

Sounds like we are pretty solidly a 3 without too much room to go up or down. I guess if we lose Thursday we could slip depending on what other teams do. I’m not sure we can make it to a 2. To me the difference between a 2 and 3 is pretty negligible anyway, although there are some pretty gnarly projected 6s this year.

The Cal Era feels like it was 10 years ago.

I remember winning SEC Tournament so many times that I’ve lost count. Thanks, John

The last 5 years of the Cal era felt like 20 years

Cal won the SEC 6 of the 15 years he was here.

Less than our historical average. Pitino and Smith both won at a .500 rate and UK wasn't even eligible Rick's first two seasons.

After 15 years of listening to the committee say the SEC tournament means absolutely jack shit for NCAA tournament seeding except for very specific and rare cases I’m going to believe them. If we’re projected a 3 seed right now then I’m going to guess there’s a 99% chance we’ll be a 3 seed no matter what happens. Losing our first game last year made no difference.

I know nobody cares about DrakeBasketballsucka, but some of the articles I've read about Ben McCollum are fascinating. They are absolutely insistent on not taking bad shots, to the point where they'll take a shot clock violation rather than force up a bad one. They turn it over on 20 percent of possessions for that very reason. And the reason is that he knows that a bad shot likely leads to a run-out, and he doesn't have the athletes to slow down a team in transition. At least with a shot clock violation, they have time to set up their defense.

I don't think I'd ever heard a coach say that sort of thing, and I've certainly thought of that principle.

Why not throw up a prayer and not care about getting the rebound? Just haul anus in the opposite direction as soon as the ball is in the air?

I'd at least try it and compare results. Probably late for that this season, but maybe in October.

Hot take: Playing 4 days in a row, and then getting 4 days off to rest, is not that difficult for 22-year old peak athletes.

To me this just seems like you run your offense and, if it doesn't work, you go full Princeton and jack a 3 with no one to rebound if you're so concerned with getting out-horsed. If it worked for them, it can work for anybody.

He couldn't even win it with Anthony Freakin' Davis.

 

[WayneDougan]

I haven't watched Drake but if 20% of your possessions are shot clock violations I have a hard time believing you are running an effective offense.

 

[Ron Mehico]

I can’t wait to sit down and watch some Drake games after hearing about that offense, what a joy that sounds like

Cal in those suits looks like an insane carnival barker

The first hints of spring with the mid 60s days are just unreal, everyone with a pep in their step and happy, ready to reemerge

9:45 (if that) tip offs for first couple games is less than ideal but whatever

Tequila season approaching

Who’s got the life support paddles for GYERO? It’s March and the most back to back posts we’ve had in the last week we’re deeply personal insults hurled at horrible person UKO

Every UK team that has gone to the Final 4 while SEC tournament has been played either has won it or lost in the championship game of said tournament.

Doesn't mean anything.
