    Any word on this new CBB video game?

    From my understanding, and someone correct if I'm wrong, but it is planned for a full-game release (ie college bball only) in early 2027, but until then, there is a side mode in the recent NBA 2K game(s) that feature select college teams. So both, with a full game coming out early 2027, but in...

    Fan Duel giving away $25 for the World Cup (don't have to be a new customer)

    Yeah mine hit and settled pretty much at the beginning stages of the game too. Funds were in my venmo account by the end of first half! Again, thanks for the free $25 "Glenn's Take" tip of the day.

    DL Nic “Happy” Smith

    I had no idea he had recently lost a sister. That makes this even WORSE, and I couldn't have imagined it being worse than what was originally reported. God bless his parents. A parent should NEVER have to bury a child. So dang sad.

    DL Nic “Happy” Smith

    Dayum, this tragic news. So young and full of life and potential, just a shame. Prayers to his family, and all who knew and were touched by him. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. RIP young man.

    Random Stat of the day to get excited about...

    Solid research, and I like what these numbers indicate. I would expect little variance of these from one season to the next, so all indications are we will be an EXCELLENT ft shooting team next year. Kam's 95% may drop a bit though, as he didnt play a lot last year, and his sample size is...

    WAY too early predictions: March Madness 2027?

    I went with E8. I'm thinking we catch some breaks this year, just going by numbers from the last two in which we seemed to get screwed every which and way - injuries, roster constraints, etc - this year, however, "the ball falls our way". Pope assembled a roster catered around his coaching...

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    Your point has credence here with merit to Pope's age. He is no spring chicken but plenty young enough for a coach, albeit I'm not sure how that correlates to his ability to continuously improve. Some do, some don't. People are different, but i do know he's still hungry due to lack of success...

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    If Pope whiffs this year we need to grab Donovan, if we can. Sore subject for many I know, but he would win here. Things chsnge over the years and he might want the challenge. Regardless, if we do bad this year, then I think Pope is toast and we go coach shopping with the new AD (TBD)...

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    Nice stats. Does give hope to us. I've soured on the Pope honeymoon after last season but still rooting for the guy. He coaches our (UK) team, and I want to win, and if he proves he can get it done here - clock is ticking away - then we got our guy. We won't have to worry about losing a coach...

    BB: UK IN PURSUIT OF QUINN ELLIS, BRITISH GUARD OF ITALY OLIMPIA MILANO

    That pasta offense is SO MUCH FASTER than the normal fast "paste" offense we're used to seeing, at times.

    BB: UK IN PURSUIT OF QUINN ELLIS, BRITISH GUARD OF ITALY OLIMPIA MILANO

    And the site i linked earlier had the Euroleague right behind the NBA. To me, one of the biggest concerns is health for our main pieces, especially the starter and backup pg roles. Wouldn't take much to be better than Lowe this season, but I wouldn't pay Lowe much even if he wants to be...

    If, God forbid, we win 4 in a row, would that bring on the longest , greatest off season in UK basketball history ?

    I think what they mean and reference, and someone correct me if i'm wrong here, is the dichotomy between current expectations and reality. We didn't have a great year, and nobody expects us to make a F4, but if we somehow did after this lackluster season, that would be a major accomplishment...

    BB: UK IN PURSUIT OF QUINN ELLIS, BRITISH GUARD OF ITALY OLIMPIA MILANO

    I get what you mean but given he's so young and doing well in the second best basketball league in the world, I just respectfully disagree. I'm not even convinced but with all the figures I see thrown out for recruits nowadays the ask seems reasonable. He will only get better, and hes already...
