Should be a battle. Always is with these guys. They are more than capable of beating us (we should win though). Beat Arky at Arky and beat Kentucky everywhere but the scoreboard at Rupp, so they shouldn't be taken lightly. Lets whip these commodes and keep this train rolling!

Considering where they were at last season, it appears Stackhouse might be a better coach than what I originally thought of him?

Stackhouse impressed me during the UT @ Vamdy game. He kept his composure w his players and refs throughout the game and timeouts. He spoke to his players in a calm voice while getting his point across w the refs without screaming and throwing a fit. It was refreshing to see as he was still very engaged in the game and coaching his tail off.

Some of these coaches just scream after every player mistake or a bad call or no call.

I said it in here when the game was in Nashville. He’s a good coach and will do well there. I got roasted a bit, but he’s proving me right so far.

What exactly has he done so far? They ain’t making the tourney this year and will be bad once Pippen leaves.
