Monday Takes:
- Weird feeling- I love my team right now, would feel confident against ANYONE on a neutral court, but ****, just a bizarre set up circumstances including a ton if injuries, crap officiating (47 FTs @ KU, that tech @ A&M, etc) and some bonehead losses while we figuring things out (namely Tennessee and Auburn, guess you could throw Ohio State in there, too). I guess we could be a 3? Could be a 6? I'd like to get off that 4/5 line. Still have a couple toughies @ Vandy and @ Florida.
- Looking big picture earlier in the year, you'd probably say our two toughest games were @ Kansas and @ A&M. Lost both in OT with our hands tied behind our backs. Crazy season.
- So, we lose Briscoe in the warm-up line against Louisville, still not sure how Poythress got hurt and Willis goes down on a non-contact ankle sprain. WTH.
- Oh, and A&M can get pumped. What a crew of douche that team is. Collins flops as bad as any Dookie I've ever seen. Trocha is a POS. Jones keeps running his mouth. I hope we see those pricks down in Nashville.
- smh but Ulis has 22p/11a/4r and I didn't think he played that well. Had an uncharacteristic four turnovers. Just shows where expectations are with that dude right now. There aren't 5 better players in the country.
- Humphries seems like such a good kid. I really like that dude. Nice under-the-radar pick up by Calipari. He'll be a terrific role player on next year's squad.
- Our D was pretty damn good on Saturday. Seemed most of their points came on longbombs and putbacks.
- Of course, Parrish's dumbass has us at #22. Dauster, who I've been saying all year is a much better analyst, has UK at #10.
- Gotta love the media constantly headlining how "depleted" Duke is. No one has dealt with more injuries than UK and it's mentioned in the last paragraph.
- Once again, WHY is it so shocking to everyone that LSU sucks? Did you not watch Johnny Jones fiddle-touch around with last year's squad? GYERO could've told you what LSU was going to look like.
- Can't be that surprising GYERO is overhyping some plain Jane waitress when you guys do the same thing every day here with Spake.
- I love that Cincy has a casino downtown. It's a cool place and everything else. But Jesus Christ, the people there on a Saturday night. Between the crowd and the $25 mins...
