    Why do Pope products really seem to struggle in the NBA

    Right. I’m like…which draft picks has he produced that actually had expectations? The fact that Amari was on the Celtics playoff roster was an accomplishment tbh. Brea is a great shooter and that’s important but he still had a long way to go before his defense was good enough to warrant any...

    Mr. 63%: Why Context Is Inseparable from the Statistic

    “not a strong argument by itself”. i’m a 63%er but i also agree with this. I think we have a really good roster this year. But we had one his first season too. Hes beat some really good teams. Hes gotta figure out how to do it consistently now. There in lies my hope. He’s been...

    Travis Branham crystal ball Kentucky

    It doesn’t make sense. But it keeps happening. 2 years not a big enough sample size to see if it was the difference in resources beteeen mid majors and high majors. But i’d argue he should have won more than he did at both Utah Valley and BYU given the competition. A great coach would...

    Calipari to Michigan is the current rumor

    Dementia is a hell of a thing.

    Travis Branham crystal ball Kentucky

    Supposedly his agent is lobbying for 2 year money without committing to 2 years though. They want flexibility in that second year. Understandable but I also understand programs being apprehensive about committing that much money to someone that could easily leave without ever giving much of a...

    Travis Branham crystal ball Kentucky

    They finished #1 in the country in defensive fg% and adjusted defensive efficiency and finished 1st in the country in defensive rebounds and 2nd in overall rebounds. Defense and rebounding are two things you have to do well. We need to hope for improvement in those areas and some kind of...

    Travis Branham crystal ball Kentucky

    This is such a brain dead take. We’ve seen the players play. Some of them for several years and have data. As the roster stands defense and rebounding is a major weakness. Now. guys can improve. But Pope has to improve and adapt as a coach in a major way for that to happen. He’s been...

    The roster is very flawed. Defense and rebounding were not addressed. Those two things are pretty important. Adding Kusturicha isn’t going to fix it either.

    38-0 Kentucky game over the top celebration winning the Elite 8 game

    The spurs just werent as good as they looked versus OKC. they had a lot of help in that series. And the Knicks wete the best team during the playoffs from like the 3rd game on. they clearly figured something out and the other teams couldnt adjust in time to stop them. League even tried to...

    Any word on this new CBB video game?

    I have a PS5 but i mostly play on PC anymore. But something about playing a cbb or any sports game on pc just doesn’t sit right. I’d probably dust off the PS5 for a new cbb game tbh.

    Whatever we are paying Mo Williams...double it...like right now.

    This fan base is so hard up for any kind of achievements anymore. We celebrated a crystal ball pick like it was a natty just two days ago. Sad

    KAT now owns an NBA record with his playoff run

    The ending may have been disappointing, but it was a great season. I’ve been watching since the Pitino era and that was a top 5…maybe even top 3 season since. I’d rank them: 1 1996 2 2012 3 2015 4 2003 5 1998 Personal preference ofcourse.

    KAT now owns an NBA record with his playoff run

    Lebron with 3 in the top 13. Only other player with 3 in that top 25 is…ugh…Draymond Greene. Cant stand him but I guess we gotta give him his flowers. He really was one of the best role players of all time. Steph, Klay and Durant all only on their once. So it wasn’t just that Greene...

    Fox getting slammed

    Fox has been a shell of his sacramento days all season. He was hurt early. I wonder if he just never got back to 100%. He does seem to have lost a step. I also think having to adjust to not being the primary playmaker for the first time in his careee going all the way back to probably...
