    BB: Pope Presser today, Injury updates

    Never understood the fascination with a Sweet 16 finish. Assume you are a 4 seed, that means you play a cupcake in game 1 and a 5 seed(or 12 seed) in the second game. You win that game (likely favored going into it) but lose the 3rd game. Why is that even considered an accomplishment for a...

    How is Pope still here?

    This is true. MUCH easier to have immediate success now. In previous eras, you had to give a coach time to get "his guys". Every team is basically brand new now, so that is completely out the window.

    How is Pope still here?

    He probably shouldn't be here honestly. However, he is and I hope we are great this year. But if he doesn't put a top level team on the floor this year,, then he has to be gone. With his lack of success in his coaching career, 3 years would be a very fair evaluation period.

    Stein to Texas Rumors Already Starting - Yahoo

    Nobody does less with more than Texas. I'm sure they'll make another terrible hire when it comes time. They probably won't even consider Stein.

    BB: Bob Huggins

    Sorry to hear this. Really hope advances in technology and medicine can lead to improved treatment for these types of conditions soon. Just awful to watch someone go through that.

    Pope on roster cost

    It ultimately just comes down to winning. If we need to overspend to get talent to win, that's fine if it's avaliable. If we can win with a bunch "good fit" type if guys, then that's fine too. But Pope has to win now. It's been far too long without any meaningful success. This year has to be...

    "Duke discount"

    They are likely the top spenders, but I don't doubt they are able to leverage their brand to help get players. You'd think we could also get a discount...since we are also a huge basketball brand. Guess not though.

    Pope on roster cost

    It does give you that impression. It's like "well I did the best I could with the NIL money we have". Kinda funny because he was basically implying last year at one point that Kentucky had top tier money and I think Cal even said something like "Kentucky players will make more than anyone" when...

    Pope on roster cost

    Let's be honest for a second. With his record at UK so far, would you actually expect him to say "yes, we had a top 3 NIL budget the past few years"? That would basically be calling himself a failure. I don't think there's any doubt we have at least a top 10 budget and probably higher than that...

    Pope on roster cost

    “We’re Kentucky. We’re always going to be really, really competitive in terms of NIL,” he said. “What we tell recruits is we’re rarely going to live in a place where we offer the most money, because that’s actually not how we want to do this. But we’re always going to be competitive. “I need to...

    Duke vs Tennessee

    Out of curiosity, I recently asked AI to create a model using the past 2 seasons as training data and use that to make preseason rankings. It came back with UT at #20, so apparently it wasn't too high on UT either. Unfortunately for us, it has UK at #23. Not that it means anything...just...

    Duke vs Tennessee

    Duke is an example of what I've been saying. There are some ridiculously good rosters this season.

    AP Preseason Poll Out

    These rankings probably don't mean much in regards to how good this team can be, but I don't understand how we spend so much NIL money (relative to most other teams) in recent years but we don't have an obviously good roster. Just frustrating having to hope for "the whole is greater than the sum...

    AP Preseason Poll Out

    I had to scroll down way too far to find Kentucky. I really hope we are better than that.

    I never gave up

    Never a reason to give up on this game. Wasn't pretty, but we were always in it.
