Holy Florida implosion. Go Cougars

 

[entropy13]

Officials remembered they exist and can affect the game now.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

The refs have absolutely destroyed this game. What the actual f***

 

[entropy13]

8 straight fouls against Houston.

 

[Kennedy_UK]

This is truly a God-awful basketball game.

3:00 stretch where neither team has made a FG.

Barf.

 

[UKwizard]

Wtg chumps.

 

[Wodie sloot]

5 year old, “dad is Kentucky playing, that looks like their letters, only red.”

Our 4 year old said we have to cheer for Houston because Houston is the red UK and we aren’t playing. lol

From the mouths of babes.

 

[entropy13]

That non-goaltending call for Florida could loom large in a tight game like this.

 

[UKwizard]

Cryer is on the take.

 

[UKwizard]

Eff you Houston.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Houston with an offensive clinic that last minute

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Yay SEC!

 

[Lionel_Hutz]

What in God’s name was that???

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Houston will always be the national champion of our hearts for beating Duke.

That last shot of Sampson.

 

[Ahnan E. Muss]

Florida just did to Houston what Houston did to Duke on Saturday night.

Check out the win probability vs game time tab. Looks just like the Duke-Houston game.

[jwheat]

congrats to Todd golden shekel and the Florida gators

 

[Wodie sloot]

And to @tgh3316 for winning the Bryant bracket.

Doug Sirmons is just a downright putrid official.

One thing it appears Pope is doing is setting up for multi-year players. You seen it with Houston/Florida…keep your own and add a piece. Florida’s offense gets the notice but they rebound the piss out of it and sat down and guarded when they needed it. Multiple capable bigs help. Pope looking to duplicate?

Hence, the Jayden Quaintance pursuit is interesting. Pope stockpiling players? We need a sniper and would love a stretch 4. JQ to follow up Mo D commitment almost comes off as pushing someone out the door. Sounds like we are the leader but Auburn pushing.

"It was probably more difficult for Pitino not to follow Pope — who played under Pitino on the Wildcats’ 1998 national championship team — and Kentucky in 2024-25."

If by interesting, you mean terrible. The first "WTF" I've had with Pope.

This is exact kind of Shaedon Sharpe-lite knucklehead I want Pope to avoid. Are there any other kids in the third percentile on the catch and shoot coming off ACL surgery we can throw millions of dollars at?

Why would you care what his catch and shoot is he is 6’10 230 and 17 years old

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

17 years old

EXACTLY

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Now that he got that ship, Golden will have his pick of the best lassies on campus. Poor guy shouldn’t have to creep and stalk anymore.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Williams and Diabate give us two long athletic defenders who can switch, something we desperately needed last year.

Big fan of these pickups.

Just moved a huge chunk of my 403b back into the market. Got the order in this morning, and the futures are looking good.

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I've gotta agree with Hank. I'm no basketball, but everything that wasn't right under the basket looked like a horror show. Half the time it looked like he had a clubbed foot. LOL

Thought about deleting this, but Mr. Hand said I have to leave it here for all his classes to enjoy, giving me full credit of course.

Will he actually PLAY though? Pretty serious injury, right?

 

[krazykats]

He is a lock to be a Top 5 draft pick talent.

Not sure you all are grasping what that will mean for Pope on the recruiting trail for years to come, and also what that type of talent would mean for any team much less one that plans to shoot 20-30 three’s a game.

Points deducted for "give him his flowers".

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Nothing like run flat tires, no spare, and an unavoidable crater pothole blowout in Amish Country PA to get my 11-hour car ride off to a rousing start.

 

[KingLlama]

Quaintance is in.

 

[cricket3]

I just got an ESPN notification saying Quaintance committed but didn't see it anywhere on Twitter. That may be a first.

You take a potential top 10 anytime you can but I hope we still have room for a shooting big and a 3 point specialist.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Just an FYI but Hank was rooting for Cal to win in the NCAA tournament too

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

@Ron Mehico people who require permission slips from their wives to watch an NCAA tournament game don't get to make fun of anyone.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Well I got my d*ck sucked that night Hank so it was at least 50% worth it

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

Cal had an established history of being a cuck for these dudes handlers. Until we see that from Pope, I, for one, will be excited about a future lotto pick coming into help beef up our frontline. The fact that this dude never really considered Cal after he left UK is a mark in the positives category for me.

 

[Vismund]

Jesus, how refreshing is it to see a coach identify a problem and absolutely hammer the issue in the off-season.

All three of the bigs we've taken are good rebounders/defenders with multiple years left to play.

Get a few sharpshooters and Alvaro and we are sitting pretty for next year.

 

[Vismund]

On a Monday? What a humble brag.

 

[Ron Mehico]

I mean how many people are we taking??

You missed the NCAA tournament for your wife's work function. How was a beej the best you got?

* JQ is a one and done and he will be rebounding from ACL surgery last month during that year.

There's a ton of upside there. Also a ton of risk. He's a Cat now so get 'er done, big fella.
