Alabama kicked our ass at Rupp with a mainly healthy roster. Butler played 32 minutes and Jax played 25. If memory serves, that was when Carr was walking wounded but still, I don't think we could beat Alabama with a completely healthy roster.

Probably our worst matchup in all of college basketball.

They didn’t kick our ass that game.

Shorts:

- Just got a new couch- Pottery Barn. Don’t tell me I haven’t arrived.

- I routinely confuse A&M and Mississippi State game results. I don’t know why besides they’re maroon teams with weird fanbases.

- Louisville has beaten 2 teams in the tournament- Clemson and UNC. Feel free to compare resumes to those seeded ahead of you, you delusional Billy Ripken F-faces.

- I mean, with Butler back, we had recently waxed Vandy, killed LSU, beaten Mizzou in Columbia and were well on our way to a comfortable dub against Oklahoma. We’re unsung.

- We smack Troy. Curious who we get in round 2.

- Is Nelson good? If he is, Bama over Duke.

- This idea that KenPom ratings travel year to year, especially over almost 30 years is absurd. Yeah I’m sure in season Chucky Hepburn is All-American we have 3-4 of the 10 best teams in recent memory. Jesus Christ, the media are morons. “Auburn is trending to be the greatest team in the past 20 years according to KenPom.” Two weeks later, “Duke’s metrics are historic!”

- Devries is fine but it’s amazing how Indiana continues to whiff on the kind of coach to pull them out of their 30 year abyss. How can one athletic department continually step on their own d***s?

And UNC really shouldn’t count.

- I routinely confuse A&M and Mississippi State game results.

Same here, I routinely mix up their big men. I recall thinking earlier this year that it was good Miss St could replace Tolu Smith with a solid vet like Henry Coleman. Then I remembered Henry Coleman played for TexAM.

I once sat next to Minnesota's athletic director at a Twins game. This was when Tubby was there. I mentioned how I'm a big UK fan and how Tubby is a class act and all that stuff. His response was something like, "yeah, well, we don't have the same pressure as you guys do regarding winning, and that's okay". For one, why would he tell me that? Second, what kind of AD is perfectly fine just finishing near the bottom of the Big 10 each year and being fine with it? My point is, I wonder if IU's AD sort of has the same attitude?

Although I’m a certified “city boy,” my blood is mountain, and I spent plenty of time there with my grannie and other family growing up.

I can promise you those people don’t give a shit what Andy (or any other governor) says is the “driving age.”

You have somewhere to be or need to help with an errand? Grab the keys and go.

I’ve often wondered how people who are genuine fans of shitty small conference random teams make it through life. What a miserable GD existence to just hope one day your team has a single great year and you go to the tournament and maybe win a game.

Like, who the f*ck is living and dying in mid-January on Denver or Central Arkansas? God bless those people.

Just finished “Rebel Ridge” on Netflix. Highly recommended.

I’d imagine they’re half fans - probably fans of the bigger state school mostly but eager to jump on the bandwagon when Directional State has a good run. Just ask all these poser EKU alumni in here.
