Hopefully Bama hangs on and covers for me. The ‘books took me to the cleaners the last couple days.

Bama shot 33 threes in the first half alone. That’s crazy. I just don’t see how 75% of your FG attempts coming from three is a sustainable way to play.

They took that many threes, because they got almost every offensive rebound. There were possessions where they got 4 offensive rebounds and shooters were wide open.

They’re up 37 at halftime. Why not fire away? It’s not like it's a tight game.

Yeah, we don't want Nate Oats here, he totally sucks.

When is the last time a UK coach had someone down by almost 40 at halftime?

Probably a thread on it, but Vandy dumped 63 in the second half on Arkansas (you know that guy everyone wants as our coach one day?).
I have NEVER seen the fascination with him. He runs a MORE flawed system than Cal.

Oats on the other hand, runs a GREAT system with the players he’s getting at Bama now. He would do even BETTER at UK with an even bigger level of recruits.

can you imagine watching your team score 86 points IN A HALF on the road?

I'm writing a thank you note to Pitino right now

Doing that to Dale Brown was REALLY sweet!!!

Our loss to him and LSU in 86 in the Elite 8 after beating them 3 other times, is one of the HARDEST losses ever!!!! Kenny Walker’s last game. I HATED IT!


So anytime we could humiliate Dale, I LOVED IT!!

Nate Oats looks good until the 2nd rd. of the tournament. It's around then his team's 3s usually stop falling and shooting 50 of them in a game becomes a problem.

We were obviously discussing this earlier. I for one do not think he sucks, I just question his style of play going over well in the NCAA tournament. I think moving that fast and relying on the three-point shot can be a recipe for disaster if you have an off game. Much like pitno's teams did early in his tenure at UK it can be highly successful but look no further than UNC and the elite 8 in 95 or Marquette in '94.

That style of play can suffocate a team that you are much more talented than, however if you run up to somebody with similar talent or better defensively I would have a cause for concern of the outcome.

He certainly plays an exciting style I will give him that for sure.
