Press conference scheduled tomorrow?…

are you just this dense or do you not understand the MAJOR differences between Baylor and UK ?
You and others in this thread sure won't be making a living at data analysis.
That dense. They also don't understand trends. Drew is basically the polar opposite of Cal in success.
Not in 2012 I was there in ATL when we blew them out. The other time we were on the road and the woman's game went OTs I don't remember how many and our guys were sitting in the tunnel forever. So the only other win was against our NIT team. Not exactly beating up on Cals best. 1 win besides the NIT team and like I said our tip as a road team was crazy late.
Drew had a terrible record in his early years, albeit the NCAA killed the program, but his results have greatly improved over time.
Cal was the exact opposite.
What does crazy late have to do with anything? Both teams went through it. 2013 team was pretty good with Nerlens.
They have had the 2nd best record over the past 5 seasons
We were a road team flying to TX and stuck waiting for a tip that was like 11pm. 2013 team wasn't that good. But either way he's 2-1 against Cal. The one that mattered in the NCAAT we spanked them.
He's 128-35 in the last 5 years, which is a winning % of .785
That's much more UK-like.
When he started at Baylor in 2003, he was basically trying to dig them out of a hole, so they had several losing seasons back then.
In that same stretch, last 5 seasons, UK was 105-52 .668
I get it. However, I think Drew would coach absolute circles around Calipari. At least, if he coaches like he has the past 5/6 years here.
Glad you posted this. He was like my fifth choice, but anybody that watches the game knows he’s been pretty dang solid the last few years and will give us every chance to get back on track here. He’ll be locked in and is ready.
70% if you toss out his first 4 years at Baylor where he was having to dig them out of being an absolute horrible program.
No different than a Pitino fan tossing out the 14-14 season at UK while on probation with scraps for players.
Or you could go root for another team instead of being so miserable being a fan of UK
If he is indeed taking the job let’s get behind him and give him a fair shake. It has to be an upgrade from CCC. He recruited well at Baylor so I’m sure he can bring in some talent here. I’m ready for a fresh start. Let’s go!
Cal didnt own this guy when he was coaching at UK. In fact Drew beat our asses the last 2 times we played them and one of those was in Rupp.
Probation was 2 to 3 years but the scholarship restrictions lasted almost 10 years from what I read. He still overcame all of that to build up Baylor to what it is today in one of the toughest conferences. Impressive stuff
They still have a winning record against Cal and Kentucky. Cherry pick it anyway you want but that should have never happened with Cal as the coach and the resources Kentucky provides. Like it or not Cal was responsible for that NIT Team not Drew.
Sure 2-1 against us, 0-3 against Dook and 8-29 against Kansas. Also 0-1 against UNC.
My biggest concern is the lack of tournament success for Drew/Baylor after winning the championship. In other words, winning the NCAA tournament, I would anticipate some additional tournament-success in the following years. After his NCAA win, Baylor's been knocked out of the tournament in the round of 32 for the past 3-4 years. Would BBN be content with 3-4 years of going home early right after winning a Championship?
I think you're right. I think his first 7 years were very limited in what he could do. Limited schollies.
I don't think a lot of our fans do not realize this and there was no transfer portal to work with. He literally built that program up from nothing.
