Kiffin will never coach again in front of a home crowd of 100,000 rabid fans, he is stuck in Oxford doing that Grove thing, he'll be competitive in the conference from time to time, but his opportunities at the top of the SEC pecking order are long gone, the Alabama hire was a clear rejection of...

Adieu Aidoo, he'll make more money in 9 months in Fayetteville than he will in that first year contract in the Turkish Airline EuroLeague, playing for some bottom feeder in an inconsequential professional basketball league in which most 4 and 5s are beasts that carry tractor motors up and down...

Barney hasn't hired a basketball coach since he signed Billy Gillespie to a memorandum of understanding, after that fiasco the task was abdicated to the K Fund trustees, with Ticket Mitch much like Handsome Dave Hart on the Barnes hire, just sign here fella,

If he ends up at Providence we know where the problem was

Awaka had more upside than Aidoo in the SEC, maybe Barnes has a sleeper at 6' 10" in the portal, hope so

Glad Purdue finally ended up in a game where the referees didn't feel obligated to protect Edey and called out a lot of his junk, he still elbowed everybody and pushed and shoved without getting a call, but the Boilers can roll back into oblivion for another decade now that Edey is finally out...

Barney will need to hire a men's basketball coach too, but much like the Calipari hire, the decision will be made by the K Fund Trustee, Barney will just sign the paper and if the process breaks down, Barney may get sacked as well and we'll see where he ends up,

Wonder if the K Fund Trustees could lure Billy Donovan back to Lexington, leaving Chicago at the end of their NBA season, those NBA coaching contracts don't collapse like the college coaching contracts do, Cal's one and done recipe would stabilize the Arkansas program after they clean house...

Freddie Buckets seemed 1/2 step slow in an up tempo game, don't think he was 100 percent the first half of the season, but he didn't seem like a 2 that could drive to the basket or an undersized 3 with an uncanny ability to score from the perimeter, just never found a niche to slide into, he...

Burns had 29 today against Dook, Sheyer had no answers to the big guy, would like to see an Alabama - N.C. State final, keep it southern and below the Mason Dixon line,

We never saw Awaka and Estrella on the floor togather this season and that would be a nice 4 and 5 combination, Awaka is plenty strong enough to play 5, but not tall enough in all scenarios, Estrella is fluid enough to play 4 or 5, but with some bulk and strengthening Estrella could blossom into...

But, beat Kentucky in Knoxville, win a couple of tournament games in Nashville and Tennessee is probably the one seed in the West, away from Purdue, Connecticut, Houston and the better teams from the ACC, but we lost to Kentucky, we were a no show in the SEC tournament and we ended up on the...

UConn has very talented players, that play solid defense and can all score with some degree of regularity, with those types of players you can run different offensive sets and multiple defensive alignments, keep your opponents guessing rather than being somewhat predictable,

Will be interesting to see if Barnes can assemble a team that can avoid the scoring droughts that continued to plague his program from time to time this year, that 12 point lead today that vanished in a Purdue 15-0 run was an expensive price to pay, to play tournament basketball you have to have...

All the more reason to continue to bring down the NCAA, this charade of an objectively called game is abysmal
