Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Orange.]

I love this team no matter how far they go...nobody in CBB works harder...period.

Our gaudy record this year in no way reflects the actual talent makeup of the roster....it reflects the insane grit and work ethic all up and down the roster which maximizes results over the course of a season.

My favorite team ever. Since early in the season. Scrappy as f. And a lot of heart and a lot of style.

Hurley is top 5 most obnoxious losers in sports. give me a break man

Absolutely. Hurley is fake crying to try to set up his nut-huggers in the media to try to change his image. The Hurley we never knew. Massive fail.

I hate him even more now for this put-on pity-party stunt.

Illinois playing zero defense right now. Just catch and shoot for UK

I think we'd rather play UK a third time, but we'd also like them to lose.

UK is gonna destroy them at this rate

*IllIllInI drain a 3 and get a stop as I typed that,

Baylor ain't scared.

@mykidturnedmeintoaVOL Let’s go!

 

[DD4ME]

In looking around it seems like 2 seeds have similar odds against 3 seeds or 6 seeds. 60-65% win.

He is such a baby

Look at this Hurley piece of . The second he stops fake crying for television.

Illinois looks like a completely different team than their last game. Sloppy is being nice to them currently

Todd golden is gonna be so pissed when he finds out the sweet sixteen is the next round & not a birthday party

 

[Jimmy Football]

Did Illinois make a quick stop at the hotel bar before making their way to the arena?

 

[DD4ME]

On the metrics KY and Illinois are very similar. IL has the edge in KenPom (16th vs 17th) and UK has the edge in Net (14th vs 17th)

We are 5th in both metrics.

UK gonna win by 20+. Illinois is terrible offensively and defensively. How did we only beat them at the buzzer?

There were reasons. Let it go. Team unity is more important.

We've seen other teams start flat footed this tourney. It happens.

I didn't know the backstory. Sounds good to me.

Looks like we have to get past UK. Great

 

[DD4ME]

Sounds like approximately 80% of the 44 games played the leader at halftime went on to win.
