Wall and Ulis statlines are neck and neck.

Wall
16.6 pts, 6.5 assists, 46% FG, 4TO, 1.8 ST, 4.3 REB
Ulis
16.7 pts, 7 assists, 44% FG, 1.9 TO, 1.5 ST, 3.2 REB

The TO's tip the scales to Ulis' favor IMO. Add in the leadership factor and it's a hard argument to say otherwise.

I thought Wall was a helluva leader, but Ulis is a better outside shooter by far (although the stats may not show it) and a better defender. Ulis would never get worked by anyone, let alone Joe Mazulla.

I'd like to see the conference stats breakdown. I'm guessing Ulis's are significantly better.

I had a dream last night that we were placed into the Yum Center regional. If we don't manage that, where would be second choice? I'd say Chicago, then Anaheim. Just need to avoid Philly. That region will be stacked and there's enough fans of other programs in the area to make it a hostile environment for Kentucky.

Last night was an easy blowout, but I still missed Willis out there. The brand of ball we play when he's in with Murray and Ulis is just so appealing. I guess because it's the most like the offense we played during my formative years as a fan with Pitino's early teams. Last night we were only 2-10 from three.

If we don't have Willis at damned near full health on Saturday, I don't think we come out of that shitbox with a W. Vandy is finally playing halfway decent, they're coming off a big road win, they're playing for their NCAA Tournament lives, and something about a soup bowl.

I do think we roll Florida and a DOA LSU team next week though. Cal should probably send Johnny Jones a fruit basket. Nice help to his recruiting pitch when the next one and done superstar is down to Kentucky and some also ran program.

Sick. I can't remember the last time I was a sick as I was Monday night into Tuesday morning. Drug my *** to the doctor, got a giant shot and a bottle of antibiotics. It's working. I feel a lot better today. Probably the first time I've had something other than just a head cold/sinus infection or stomach bug since I was a kid.

Really impressed with how Humphries is coming along.

It is going to be so much fun this tournament. We will probably be a three seed with no target. Will be favored over the 1 and 2 seed on our way to another FF because Vegas knows what's up. That's what happens when you have the best back court in March.

So Don Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for President. Is this the most incredible development in American political history?

Ted Cruz should be beaten with a hose until he agrees to drop out. Same with Carson and Kasich. Rubio can potentially beat Trump head to head, but that's still only a coin flip. No one else left in the field has a shot in hell of taking Trump out and if Cruz stays in beyond Super Tuesday, Trump will coast to the nomination.

I read in an article where some poll of Trump supporters in South Carolina had 33% being ok with banning gays from entering the US...

This is absolutely accurate and completely horrifying.

Who are these people who like Ted Cruz? #NoPolitics

I don't care what his politics are or what party he represents -- it doesn't even matter when it comes to him -- I was able to hate that guy 5 seconds after the first time I looked at him and heard him talk. [sick]

I mean, the future President of the United States routinely says things like this:

“You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ***.”

“If I were running ‘The View’, I’d fire Rosie O’Donnell. I mean, I’d look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say ‘Rosie, you’re fired.’”

“The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”

“It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!”

“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

That this guy could realistically get elected tells me that the American people are simultaneously dumb as a box of ****, and the ones that aren't, have no f*cks left to give.

If it really ends up being Trump vs. Clinton, I might actually go the weirdcatadam route and vote for some off the wall third party candidate.

oral history on the 2006 LSU F4 team
[thumb2]
loved what those guys did to Duke

only thing more horrifying than Trump is 1 of the major choices in the Pres election is that the other likely choice is so awful in every way possible that he has a damn good chance of taking the White House

Ulis' stats are also as a Sophomore. Just keeping it real for my boy John. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Murray is just outside my "circle of trust". But he's getting closer. Lamb's Twitter life clouds my judgment, though he was an assassin.

Conference games only we're hitting 39% from 3 and that's good for second in the nation per KenPom.

Conference games only we're 51.1% from the field which is good enough for first in the nation per KenPom.

Conference games only we're only giving up 39.3% from the field overall which is good enough for first in the nation per KenPom.

Trump for President would be the closest we will ever get to having President Camacho in the White House.

****. I know ****'s bad right now, with all that starving ********, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

All in.

I know this team is not known for its defensive prowess but it sure seems they put teams in some long *** droughts. See USC and Bama

Hmm... I think I misrepresented those numbers. I think when you switch it to 'conference only' it only ranks you 1-14 in the SEC. That makes more sense. I know we've looked much better, but that did seem to be a little too good.

Trump v. Clinton may actually be what we need as a nation to get our acts together. Kind of a rock bottom moment of clarity, if you will.
Best case scenario is a tie between those two wherein Trump returns to his home planet and Clinton is indicted. Thus leaving the office vacant for 4 years and we collectively realize we don't need any of these losers.

Our D has been fine. It's been the extra shots we give on the offensive glass.

He did, he said absolutely "zero" chance, and has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down since then...

I have about $300 in bets out there that he won't get it, based on his confidence alone. :mad:

The last few phone calls with my dad, he's started off with "Man I like that Bristol (he means Briscoe) but I mean c'mon buddy"

Alabama's roster is funny to look at. What a collection of misfits and somehow they are on the bubble. Maybe Decoursey should casually try to switch his blind support to Avery Johnson for what he's done with that pile of ****. Do I miss Anthony Grant's starched shirt, perfectly pressed on the sideline- sure. But he was a stick in the mud and his teams were boring and awful.

What "bad" coach do you think might actually have a shot at being successful in Lexington?

Give me Mark Gottfried, then Steve Lavin.

The only problem is that Ted Cruz has more nut job pseudo-independent supporters, so Trump would get his fair share of additional votes if he dropped out.

Not that it matters anyway. Cruz is the most manipulative, conniving MFer that we've seen in American politics since Nixon, so I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon.

Doesn't it cease to be an "oral history" once it's written down?

The Trump campaign, with the endless debates, constant jabbering on the news channels, ignoramuses posting on facebook, tweets, etc. reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror. Basically a fictional person made up by the media, social or otherwise, may very well become Prez.

Think about it this way: put sophomore Ulis on the '10 team and it wins the NC going away. Put freshman Wall on this year's team and they're probably no better--and likely not as good. And that's no knock on Wall.

Part of me wants to believe that Trump just plays this persona in public to sensationalize things...and its been absolutely effective. But behind closed doors, he's actually a reasonable and intelligent human being. I mean, if he's such a crazy f#ck, how did he get so successful?

I know Cal keeps saying that if open Briscoe should shoot but he bricks so bad they turn into run outs the other way.
