Nah. He's fine. Even UK fans have been saying all year that it's the worst team he's had so far. It doesn't really feel like a flop. IU is a good team. We would probably lose to UNC 9/10 times in the next one anyway.

He should have got a moving van for not giving Ulis minutes over the twins last year. They would have beaten Wisconisn.

I agree they had some bad losses, specifically the two you mentioned, but they were playing some of their best basketball lately too. They really looked dialed in during the SECT. I thought they could beat IU, and if those teams played 10 times, they probably split them 5 and 5. The talent is that close.

Tonight, the difference seemed to be the presence of IU center, Thomas Bryant. UK had no answer for him and nobody who could match him up inside, which is a departure from normal for them in years past.

They had been playing better but the SEC is not that good. The SEC Tourney is not a neutral site. It is in name only. Ky had too many flaws.

No way. That's 2012-2013 team was BY FAR his worst team.

For some odd reason, I can not stand mark few. Every time he does an interview I change the channel.

Boy has DT turned into a complete non factor for Virginia.

I wonder if winning makes his Choice a good one or would have playing a real role been the better experience.

Oh, I don't disagree they had flaws. An absence of the kind of size Cal has grown accustomed to in the paint being the main one. This is by far Cal's most perimeter-oriented UK team.

I'm just saying they were playing some of their best ball just a week ago, regardless of competition. They were shooting well, defending at an elite level, and peaking at the right time, none of which were entirely predicated on the competition of the SECT. Then they were dealt a terrible draw in the NCAA tourney, and didn't play their best against IU.

Averaged about 18 minutes on a 1 seed?
Think he'd swap that for 30+ and watching from home.
Doubt it.

They were playing better than they had been playing, but I still say the SEC competition had something to do with it. A & M is a good team and they gave them all they could handle in what was essentially a home game for Ky. Murray & Ulis were going to carry them as far as they could. Guards usually can carry a team in the tourney but their lack of a consistent inside presence was their weakness. Which is comical given the talent Cal has at his disposal.

It annoys me that there's an NCAA tournament site in Raleigh/Charlotte/Greensboro/Winston-Salem pretty much every year.

Yeah, I agree with most of that. This Carolina team I'm watching would have eaten UK alive in the paint, so their loss today saved them some disappointment next week.

6-2 today, 14/16 Sweet 16, 7/8 Elite 8, 3/4 Final 4.

Got Maryland, Villanova, Oregon, Northern Iowa, Oklahoma, and Xavier tomorrow. WVU and Mich. St. held me out of the other two games.

Maryland, Nova, Oregon, A&M, Oklahoma, ND and Xavier for me...out of the other as I had MSU, I'll be rooting like hell for MTSU.

I said something about that somewhere else. That Ulis got robbed of a chance. Thought he brought a lot of the team. I do blame Cal for the offense in the last minutes of that game. Played scared.

Very misleading stat for his current role. Not even playing close to that many minutes here at the end of the season.

Only played 3min yesterday. That should tell us what his role really is

So, he shouldn't accept his reality as a developing role player on a probable FF team and rather pine for a chance to be a starter on a mid major going nowhere.
Settle much in your life?
