    What in tarnation is going on with these preseason rankings?!

    What I don't do, at least w any depth, is study the makeup and prospects of the other teams. That said, if there are 10 teams who will be better than this roster under coach and his staff it’s gonna be a helluva cbb season.

    Work

    On vacation w family watching the 98 Championship game in our hotel room. I was completely self absorbed, yelling at the TV over some officiating injustice. My daughter who was seven snapped me out of it when she said 'Dad, it's just a game' w a shocked/disgusted look on her face.

    Official: SGA is Kentucky 1st M V P

    As a fan and an alum, happy for Shai. But to definitively say Jokic did not deserve the MVP is silly. He is only one of three players in NBA history to average a triple double in a season. Damn strong MVP resume.

    College Basketball Programs Valuations per WSJ

    The article states IU benefits from being in a state without major professional teams. What? Apparently the author hasn’t heard of the Colts and Pacers. That alone is reason not to give his rankings any attention.

    Big changes coming to college basketball

    I’m for anything that’s reasonable in reducing the stoppage of play, especially the interminably long video reviews. UK typically has a deep squad that allows us to wear down lesser teams. But long stretches of video reviews allows teams w a short bench to recover from pace of play.

    With the game against Stripper U being so early....

    Those things don’t have to be mutually exclusive
