UCONN?

Anything can happen, but UConn just feels like they are in a league above all the other teams right now
Previous seasons aren't relevant unless talking about Cal. Then 2011-2015 is all we are allowed.
Depends. How will UConn defend us? If they force us into a half court game, I think they wax us.
Crack is a helluva drug...
CCC should have recieved a pay cut for losing to the football school K-State twice in the NCAAT.
Bruce Weber and Puddin Tang? Who losses to those clowns with 3 times the talent??
If they force us? We always let the other team set the pace.
Right now I would agree. Same scenario with UK dictating pace. Remember this isn’t a road game. It’s a neutral court. We are much better on a neutral court.
RR is slurping Hurley now. Last year it was Oates and Musselman and Drew. I guess we’ve moved on from sucking them off and it’s Hurley’s turn now
BEFORE last season Hurley was 2-4 in the NCAAT with 1 conference title and 1 conference tourney title. 61% W/L
In 12 seasons.
In 12 seasons.
Simple… Hurley has his players in position to wins games for UCONN. Cal has his players in position to audition for professional scouts, and draft stock.
There you go! Mitch thought Cal could do both things at the same time, and early in his UK career he had the talent to do it, but as history suggests, that’s simply not the case anymore. I am personally looking forward to the day when UK plays like UCONN, or Kansas, or UNC again.
If I want to watch guys audition for the NBA, I’ll watch the Combine in June.

Love all the downplaying of UConn in here. The Huskies would wax UK right now, stop being ignorant.
I have no idea if UK recruited any of UCONN’s players? But I know what doesn’t matter – how many freshman are projected to be NBA players.
If you want to make a point to me about how bad of a coach Calipari is, then you need to tell about how many All-Conference (and even All-American and NPOTY) players he has had; or maybe how many upperclassmen that were drafted after their sophomore or junior years. Those are the type of players that’ll keep a team knocking on the door year-in-and-year-out. And, yes, UK's two seniors are examples of the kind of guys I'm talking about.
What an incredible idea, have a system in place. Like our dribble drive system and the weave.
Man has a chance to win back to back titles. That hasn’t been done in 17 years since Donovan pulled it off. We’re approaching a tie for the longest gap in history for that (the longest was the gap between UCLA and Duke in 92- 19 years).
If he pulls it off he’s the best coach in America. Hands down no question.
That’s worthy of praise.
That’s great and all but I’ll wait until he actually does it to go nuts for him instead of him just “having a chance to do it”.
Every coach that has ever won a title has had a chance to win back to back titles.
Disagree on a neutral court I don’t see anyone waxing us. They may win a tight one but we’d be in the game.
That’s not even remotely true. We didn’t have a prayer in 2013 after the mass exodus and even less so after Nerlens went down.
There’s a difference between a realistic chance and a “chance”. UConn has a realistic chance to repeat. And that should be acknowledged, even if we absolutely hate it (and believe me. I HATE IT).
They may not be juggernauts all the time but what they are is opportunistic. They don’t let bracket collapses go to waste. We’ve done that at least twice.
We have to get back to winning at a high level.
He’s pretty good. We will see if he caught lightning in a bottle. If he does pull the repeat, it will be very impressive.
How crazy would it be if UConn took home their 4th national title with three different head coaches in the span that Calipari has been at Kentucky.
Can you imagine what they could do as a program if they had our fanbase, our resources, and our history?
Cal has all those things, and he's taken us to the verge "meh" status the last four years.
This is a dumb statement. Hurley is 51. You have no idea how many championships he will win.
Too true. Those 7 McDonald's All-Americans, two future lottery picks, one future max player and NBA All-Star, three top 20 picks, and seven future NBA players always made me wonder just how in the world we made a Final Four with so little talent.
The question still keeps me up some nights.
Whenever we read your posts, we see something like this:
Cal has gotten very stale. It’s kind like you get a craving kick for say Cheetos or ice cream. And for like the next eeek you have some every day because your brain is just craving it. And then at some point you can’t stand to taste them.
That about where we are with Cal. If he can make changes and freshen it up a bit it’s fine. But right now we have a stale bag of Cheetos.
I think it would be cool to do a “coach swap” for like a charity game. Just for giggles.
Just like most think give Pitino the KY teams from 2010 to now. He probably has multiple titles.
There the favorite to win this year as they should be. They are the best team right now
Dear God. What is wrong with you. You don’t know basketball. You just post here to agitate. Cal has more faults than Satan. Never makes adjustments. Just quit posting.
