    Freshman Led Teams Just Aren’t Winning The Titles Anymore

    Really it is all about roster construction at this point in time. Obviously Dusty did ten times better roster construction with less money than Pope. Pro ball is similar in that roster construction is the key. Pros are limited by the draft but we are not. We had more money but made choices...

    Are we going to have a team?

    Brandon Garrison averaged 10 pts per game at Oklahoma State ..a power 5 school...and we are looking to add a kid from San Francisco (which is not a power five school) who averages around the same amount. We must add players who have averaged at least 16-18 points a game and not add back ups who...

    Cats record next season

    But then there are the shaky substitution patterns and the blow out losses and the reliance on two players that are no longer here to win most games. Not to mention the dismal record against Power 5 teams and highly ranked teams. Watching the Elite 8 show us how far we have to go and will need...

    Bill Raftery’s response on Mullins’ dagger taking Duke down

    How appropriate for Grant Hill to be on the other side of a last minute shot since for those too young to remember he actually was the one who threw the perfect pass to Laettner in 1992.

    I would not care about a single player on this roster leaving

    Our two top scorers have no remaining eligibility. In fact they were our only two consistent scorers. Chandler and Mo had their games and Moreno and Garrison contributed some but there was no consistent production from anyone else on our roster. So it basically means that Pope must sign from...

    Chandler rumors

    Really a steep slope to climb. Must bring in at least six players with almost zero offense returning.

    Lowe to Portal

    Suspect he wanted assurance that he would be the starting PG and Pope was not willing to assure him? Thought he was here on a two year deal? This above all else makes you wonder about the player selection for the 2025 team. PG who is not worth another year, a center with a known history of a a...

    Super Freshmen

    Burries and Peat will lead their team to the championship game against a team of high priced portal players in Michigan. But the key is both teams have players and more importantly both teams have coaching. Did anyone notice how well Arizona passed the ball and handled the ball ...something we...

    Any SEC team(s) in E8?

    Seeing the best teams is difficult because it shows how far we are from being there. Not sure anyone from our team would have been a starter at Arizona or Michigan. Florida lost to a middle tier Big 10 school and our tournament champion was destroyed by the big 12 champ. SAD

    Jason Hart to SMU staff

    Antigua's family still lives in Lexington. Would be a good move to bring him back.

    Jasper's uncle speaks out

    Jasper simply felt too much pressure from those around him. Didn't Jelavic make a somewhat caustic comment that most thought was aimed at JJ when he got in a game. It seemed to be the same every time he got on the court against good teams. Turnover. Bad shot. Allow his man to get to the rim...

    Jasper's uncle speaks out

    Did anyone notice that anytime JJ's replacement was sitting at the scorers table , JJ would immediately jack up a contended three pointer or drive into a crowd in the lane with the result a turnover or blocked shot? He may someday be a decent college player but don't see an NBA future for him...

    The 1%

    In spite of everything he said he is still on a super hot seat for 2026. Your entire offense was Oweh and Aberdeen. They were the only consistent scorers the entire year. They are gone. You (Pope) are essentially a lame duck coach with a coaching staff that is running for the door. You have...

    Issel calls out JQ

    JQ has not shown any offense so not sure how much he would have impacted final record.

    Injuries aside. What doomed this team?

    The only double figure scorers are graduating. They were our offense, They were the only players who could get to the rim. Otherwise the roster featured complimentary players. This was our worse ball handling and passing team ever. Last year featured one of our best . If you bring back...
