Good gosh I hope Pitino can knock them out.
Who is more pissed? Cal or Pitino
- Thread starter BIG BLUE GURU
- Start date
He’s gotta go thru Self first but Cal has owned Pitino lately so I’d be ticked for sure.
Kansas has the best roster by far of that pod.
Everyone gonna talk about cal and pitino but KU is dangerous if they pulled their heads from their asses (unlikely but u never know)

It’s funny to think that the three most historically decorated coaches still in the game are in the bottom half of the same bracket.
Didn’t Ark beat KU in preseason? That being said I have no doubt Cal is ready for the season to end and get to the beach.
You mean watch Little House on the Prairie with his dog.
Tough call of who you want to lose more in the kansas - arky game.
Adou Thiero is doubtful for their 1st round game. I would imagine Kansas wins that. I don't think Boogie Fland adds much, especially being out so long.
Kansas has been spiraling out of control for a long time, and they're probably ready for the season to be over.

I think I'd always rather Kansas lose just because of the All-time wins lead.
But I'll be happy if Arkansas loses also.
This is a win win.
Kansas could look at this as a fresh start or just be ready for the season to be over with. If they’re energized they could come out of that side of their bracket to the elite 8. As an Arkansas fan i wouldn’t like the odds of Cal out coaching Self or Pitino with similar talent.
Pitino. Cal knows he is going to flame out and looking forward to time off after that hard work he put in all year. The real season is about to begin for him prepping for the NBA Draft.
They did. Which makes this even more strange. Teams that played already shouldn’t be able to play against each other the first game but they skirted that due to it being an exhibition.
While it’ll be a game I definitely watch, could we have put one against UCLA or Utah St for instance? That game sucks
I honestly think Pitino relishes the chance to get another crack at Cal.
Another angle is a first round loss for Cal continues an undesirable trend.
I hope Pitino runs Cal and his hawgs in the ground
Same. Pitino is still driven. He will look forward to beating both Cal and Self.
Kansas had HD and two other guys out when they met preseason. Kansas hasn’t played Arkansas this year in any meaningful sense.
KU is being the hogs, but if it does align that way, St Johns will boat race Arkansas and I will be smiling the whole time.
Yes, kind of crazy that those three have collectively accumulated 5 titles and 17 Final Fours.
Hopefully Pitino kills off that region and keeps Self and Calipari from escaping.
Pope said so in an interview yesterday. His exact words were “Coach Pitino wants that smoke!”
And while 'anything' can happen in a single elimination tournament, Pitino has the team which has been the hottest over the last 8 weeks in that pod. I think Pitino is feeling pretty good about his chances.
Has to be cal, I think or thought self could atleast coach a little and we know how cal is lol. Plus, ku was preseason #1 but cal does have that “practice” victory over self this year right……😂.
Pitino can want that smoke all he wants. He better hope that Kansas beats Arkansas because for whatever reason, Calipari beats Pitino's ass. St. John's plays hard, Pitino is arguably the greatest coach of his generation and if not, he's in the top 3....but be careful what you wish for because teams from Big XII/SEC aren't going to be scared of physical play, nor are they going to be scared of a team who can miss shots for 7 mins.
Thought it was interesting the top Big East team's reward was the bracket with UF out West. I'd have thought they'd have sent them East to play in Providence and then Newark-but they have to make sure Duke wouldn't get a road crowd in NYC/NJ as their secondary "home".

Cal will have a hard time getting out of the first round. This ain't Oakland they're playing.
Nah, he's already preparing for the biggest event of the season. The Draft.
I felt Arkansas was better without Fland. This is a tough one to pick for me. Kansas has been spiraling, and Cal seems to coach best when he's being criticized. RP beats either of them easily.
Cal owned Rick with those stacked Kentucky rosters! The team he has right now doesn’t equal those he was beating Rick with! I don’t think Cal will get past Kansas. Dickerson will feast on the Hogs bigs!
Yep! And Rick has a hell of a team this year! They will defense Kansas or the Hogs to death!
