Kentucky lost again

[The Dog]

I really hope Boston comes back for them and they again give him lots of minutes

Isiah Jackson impressed me for about 3 minutes, still a potential beast

Weird he only got 12 minutes tonight

Weird he only got 12 minutes tonight

2-2 and a great offensive rebound, followed by a massive dunk

Why does this thread make me so happy every time it comes up?

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Nope. They’d owe him over $50 million.

Only way is for Cal to quit. They can't ever fire him

I bet Cal leaves for the NBA

Maybe pull a Pruitt on him and fire him for cause. I’m sure just a little investigating would find enormous “cause”.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

Would love to see the vols beat the cats 3 times this year.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Maybe so if Thibodeau is one-and-done with the Knick’s.

 

[Ratvol]

Vitale and Kentucky both suck. KMA baby....

Go VOLS

That front office is amongst the worst in pro sports right now. He should stay far away.

Why would any nba franchise hire him right now? He’s getting exposed with no superstars

Good news another Blue Blood out of the top 25 next week. Bye Bye Kansas

We need Kansas to finish strong.

You do understand that isnt helping our resume?

They could be 0 and 25 and it would still be a huge win to the voters. It took 7 losses to grt them down the polls. Tennessee about fell off the map after 3.

You may want to look into how the metrics work

I’d guess he means the poll voters, not the NET or NCAA selection committee?

Lol. He's having a super young team play really bad and lose every single closengame possible. We are terrible yes, but look at every close game and how we continually choke down the stretch. This is a worse case scenario season by far. I'm not as worried about the future as most.

Cal has taken a bunch of teams without a superstar far into the ncaat.

However, I do agree that Cal's strengths aren't at play as much in the NBA where talent is mostly spread out and all teams have talent. Cal gets players and normally does a good job getting them to buy-in. Getting elite players at the college level is more than half the battle. He wouldn't thrive as much when he has to use more X's and O's.

He definitely isn't the best in game coach. I think he has cost us some big games. But getting the players and making them click is a tougher job than most admit. But again, this is a worst case scenario season. Boston and Clarke are huge disappointments. All the other players are kinda what I expected honestly. We have a lot of average players but no leader than can run an offense or get buckets consistently.

I'm disappointed in Boston and Clarke as well. I like beating UK, but I like it more when they're a good/great team. Who knows how many years we have of our teams being headed by all-time coaches. Let's maximize these seasons ya know?

But in no way is it “good news”, was my point.

There are no guarantees of course but a coach like Cal can completely rebuild his roster in one season. College basketball is about the only sport you can do that in. Most likely Kentucky will be fine next season.
