    Lord Zion Meet Lord Cousins

    Couldn't agree more. I understand the dislike for Duke and Coach K, but Zion seems like a pretty damn good kid. Fun as hell to watch, and seemed to handle media attention very well. Specifically when UCF's Tacko Fall made comments about blocking Zion's shots. Zion basically complimented Fall...

    Going from the CBS broadcast on Saturday back to ESPN tonight is like going from caviar to cat shi*

    I can't stand ESPN, but I think Dykes and Ravich do a very good job together. Not as good as Schulman/Bilas, but very good compared to many of the others. The split screen coverage is mind-boggling. What viewer demographic is asking for a third of their TV screen to be on a coach during live...

    Cavs-Warriors

    The rule allowing the review (and possible overturn) is a joke. Block/charge calls are always going to be missed in real time, but to me, that was clearly blocking on LeBron. He was sliding over, his feet were not set, and OF COURSE he flopped. Reverse the roles on that play.... LeBron would...

    What is the one call you wish refs would get right?

    1. offensive post player drives right into the defender, who is in good position, simply standing his ground. Yet is often called for the defensive foul. 2. 3 point shooters trying to either kick their leg out or otherwise intentionally draw a foul. I am from Cincy and have always been a...

    LaVar Ball ripped De'Aaron Fox

    Lavar is a complete joke and I cannot see how the kids can't get him to calm down. At first, I wanted to see Lonzo fail miserably. But the more I see him, I like the way he plays and he appears to (somehow) have his head on straight. His shot is a little awkward, but his vision and passing...

    Update on Diallo....

    It appears as if all of Diallo's decisions revolve around minimizing the risk of him being exposed in live play. I see this being the case until he is gainfully employed as a professional basketball player. Perhaps it's his own concern, or the concern of those surrounding him. But everything...

    Kentucky Got Screwed.

    We could get a bye into the Final Four and some fans would still think the committee screwed us if we faced the highest ranked team still alive. I have never understood this mentality. If you want to win a Championship, you need to have the mindset that you can beat everyone in the field. If...

    Soon you will have to love

    where in my post did you see that I have disdain for former UK players? I want them all to do succeed and become multi-millionaires. But lets say a OAD gets picked late in the 2nd round and struggles to make a roster. The OP says I am required to love the team he is on. What happens when he...

    Soon you will have to love

    I love UK basketball and I have always liked the NBA. Not sure I am required to love an NBA team just because they draft or sign a kid who hangs out in Lexington for a year.

    Can We Put This UCONN Women's Streak Into Perspective...

    100 straight is impressive, but the margins of victory illustrate the size of the gap in skill level. If the GS Warriors suited up against random NCAA teams, they would win 100 in a row all day long. Same premise...when there are a very small percentage of elite stars available, and when ONE...

    Could we give the film-watching point a rest please!

    The referee excuses baffle me. Sure, there were some blown calls. There are in every game, both ways. I imagine the crew knew they blew the shot clock violation right away, but they have absolutely no recourse to change it given the current rules. Either way, the no-call on Lyles slapping...

    Dislocated left ring finger for Aaron

    I don't see how this will NOT affect him. Any word if it was fractured as well?

    Boston Writer Responds to Boston Globe Calipari Hit Piece

    Jerry Thornton is a pretty entertaining guy. He used to write blogs for Barstool Sports and I am pretty sure he is a stand up comic. Satire and sarcasm are part of his style. If you didn't catch the sarcasm at the end of his piece, you certainly don't get his style of writing or sense of...

    Anybody else not really mind IU?

    I agree with the OP. College Basketball as a whole is more exciting when IU, UNC, UCLA, Duke, Florida, etc. are all relevant. It takes nothing away from UK. Cal is still gonna get the best of the best every year and we'll be in the Final Four picture pretty much annually. Sure, I think their...
