    Give grade to our portal season

    I’m stuck between an A- or an A. Would have been nice to land one of the big mega transfers but what we missed in star power we traded for well above average depth. Not landing one of the stars just means Oweh and maybe one other player needs to make a leap and levels up to that star role on...

    Does Travis Perry have a definable role for 2025-26 ?

    He will be a deep rotation player next year. There will be a perfect storm of injuries or foul trouble that will almost assuredly see him get 10-15 minutes in a few games. I think he’s ready for that role and we’ll be glad to have him when we need him (which hopefully is not often but we...

    Andrija Jelavic commits to UK!

    This is a great replacement for the void Carr is leaving behind. I know Carr struggled at times this year, but I think once conference play started he was never 100% health wise again—playing in the super athletic SEC didn’t help him either with dealing with that back injury. When Carr was at...

    Adou Thiero declares for draft

    Always loved Thiero’s hustle and physical style of play. I wish he would have stayed with us last year. Wasn’t a great shooter but he had a level of physicality and athleticism that we were missing a bit of. Shouldn’t be a problem this next year for us, though. I wish him the best and he’ll...

    Mouhamed Dioubate commits to UK!

    Exactly what this team needed—a physical and athletic workhorse that at least has to be respected from outside (shoots about one 3 pointer a game). He had 7 double doubles last year despite only averaging 16 minutes a game. Our rebounding just got a much needed boost.

    USC's Yates Enters Portal Officially

    I think he would pair well with Oweh and Lowe. Those are two guys that are looking to drive and Yates is the type of player that will help stretch the floor to create that space/catch the kick out. Some people have been saying the backcourt is done after Lowe but I think we need one more...

    Jaland Lowe to uk

    I know everyone is harping on the shooting numbers. I admit that I have not watched a lot of Pitt basketball (or at all) but they were a bad team in a poor conference. Pitt was ranked 62nd on Kenpom with the 52nd ranked offense. Sometimes low shooting numbers can be a reflection of the...

    Am I the only that can’t stand this silly portal season?

    The current structure of the portal is way too similar to free agency. I mean it’s basically unfettered free agency at this point. The system as it stands creates a frenzy of names that come and go in a short time once the season is over. I’d also say though that everyone should trust in Pope...

    Keep this up Cats. Limit those fouls and get to halftime out of foul trouble.

    I’ve seen more missed layups this tournament from all teams than I can ever remember. Is it the ball?

    Cal advances to sweet sixteen

    Enjoy it, the Sweet 16 is about as good as it gets for you year in year out. Maybe an elite 8 appearance here or there. Must be nice to have such low expectations cause it’s so easy to be pleasantly surprised.

    ***** OFFICIAL Oklahoma Vs Kentucky Game Thread- SECT Edition *****

    I was livid when we went down 1 but I remember thinking the Oklahoma players were celebrating an awful lot with the game still on the line. They were acting like they had the game won already.

    Carr looking good again

    It’s easy to forget but Carr was great at the beginning of the season. We’re a different team when he’s playing well.

    10 loss Pope

    With 8 of those wins coming against top 15 teams. I’m not gonna bother looking it up but we probably haven’t beaten that many top 15 teams the last couple of years combined.
