During a coaching search, once I hear "I've got to talk to my wife and family so we can blah blah blah" (or some stupid variant of that), the red flag goes up, and the coaching search should cut bait and move on. You're a major D1 head coach and will be making millions. What your wife thinks about it shouldn't even f***ing matter. If she didn't understand the lifestyle associated with her husband's career then she's an idiot. It's a college town honey, your credit card will go even FARTHER there.



That's hyperbolic of course, but the sentiment is spot on.

 

[Voinovich.]

Has Duke ever played a first or second round game outside the state of North Carolina?

 

[HymanKaplan]

New Jersey perhaps, which is practically a home game for them.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Let's go Bobby!

 

[justa]

They normally get Charlotte, G'boro, or Winston. Giving them PNC Arena is complete BS, 20 miles from their campus.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Miss St wasted too much time, should have fouled Baylor right away after their last bucket.


Ole Piss better f’ing beat UNC

 

[warrior_SW]

7 from RMU is going to fit real well in a Pope offense next year.

 

[ukwizard]

It just means more (until it matters)

Mark Sears plays a style of basketball that I wish would go extinct.

obviously don’t want Cal to win but I would rather him win than Duke but that’s it. Would even rather ucla win than cal this year.

He is just imitating those clowns in the NBA that flop like a fish out of water, which drives me insanely mad. At least I assume that’s what you are talking about.

I hope Rick kicks Cal's ass but at the end of the day as much as it would suck if Cal rolls on to the Final Four, he was NEVER going to do it here again. Accept that. It would have been a further plunge into irrelevance.
Ironically. the worst thing for Arkansas is a 2-4 game run that leaves them short of the title and Cal will feel a 100% vindicated and no one will be able to say anything to him. He can just be fat, stroller with a dog pushing, watch Little House instead of game film, what's a zone Cal.

Arkansas has rejuvenated Cal. Just like the announcers were saying last night, Cal has trimmed down, looks a lot better. Doesn't eat extravagant meals as often because "he doesn't have as many friends as he did in Lexington".

[Plus, Fayetteville pizza scene, probably].

Obviously, getting fired up for the UK game helped turn around their season. His players wanted it more. It was a key, resume-building win for Arkansas, and without it, they might not have made the tournament.

It's not a game that would have an equivalent if Cal had remained here.

In other words, you're wrong, Wayne.

 

[gattongrad09]

With a win tomorrow Cal could have his you made your bed moment again but replace forde for mags. Weird timeline.

I want to see a well prepared Wildcat team jump on them early would do wonders for my ptsd anxiety from the above guy as many have said. We are just in a better place as a program.

The creators of these commercials across all ncaa programming should be sent to whatever supermax prison we are currently exporting to. Have to mute it awful.

 

[BernieSadori]

Let’s pump the breaks on Cal. He one a game against a shitty Kansas team.

Let’s just pray Pitino sends his ass home.

 

[FearThe Blue]

Cal would have had Z, Quaintance, and Cyril here. That three big lineup would have been . . . something.

 

[WayneDougan]

Uh, Cal could make it to the Final f'ing Four and it doesn't prove anything other than he underachieves with great talent. They were a 10 seed with the following players.

• Wagner
• Fland
• Thiero
• Davis
• Aidoo
• Z
• Knox

That's a top 15 talented roster.

The hell are you talking about? He was a 10 seed and has won a crappy first round game to a crap Kansas team.

[Century Cat]

I'm saying if that were the exact team here, he probably would have underachieved with them, even more than he has so far.

Guess I'm splitting hairs, just saying that if he were to somehow make the FF (he won't), he would not have done the same thing here.

 

[justa]

It also took KU completely dickfingering the last couple minutes.

Not to mention he wouldn’t have even had the same team here. Adou was out the door and he didn’t have the NIL money from the boosters to get Davis in.

 

[80 Proof]

I bet Cal wouldn't have made the NCAA tournament if he were at Kentucky this season.

Friday Five

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young
Free Falling - Tom Petty
Such A Night - Dr John
I Come From the Water - Toadies

 

[HymanKaplan]

I think Davis is doing a fine job at UNC. I hope the fans appreciate him and that he has a long career there.

 

[legalbeagle123]

It looks like maybe Chris Beard told his team that unc was favored in this game.

 

[ukwizard]

Bye Vandy.

 

[HymanKaplan]

F***ing Ole Miss, you'd better not blow this.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Well **** a duck. Get it together Rebs

 

[ukwizard]

Ole Piss.

 

[Touch_Em_All]

Sprinkles!

[wildcatadam6]

Enjoy

 

[Irish Beck]

Gave em hope only to build a wall in the last two minutes. My god they missed everything.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Eat shit, Troy. Hector was a bitch.

 

[HymanKaplan]

nice

Also, Memphis flaming out is always a nice warm feeling.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

PUBERT

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Nervous

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Just win tonight

 

[HymanKaplan]

I'm not nervous at all, but I couldn't tell you why. I'm just not. My MAIN concern is that Butler doesn't aggravate that shoulder.

That's it. That's the list.

 

[legalbeagle123]

That SEC schedule kinda sucked when it was happening, but we are battle tested for sure.

It's showtime. 😎🏀

 

[ukwizard]

Of all his former teammates why did they have to pick Meals to interview?
