    If you had zero history, which team is better .

    Literally, UCONN's women's team is more important than their men's basketball team. You are not a blue blood if your women's team matters more to your national brand than your men's team.

    If you had zero history, which team is better .

    If UCONN isn't winning titles no one in the nation cares. When Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, and/or UNC aren't winning, everyone notices. True Blue Bloods move the national needle. UCONN is the 21st century's UCLA. Relevant only because of titles, but otherwise insignificant.

    That's why there's history.

    Curious about head coach when you became a fan

    My first sports memory, as a diehard fan of anything, was as a nine-year-old Kentucky fan on March 28, 1992. If you know, you know. I hate Duke as much as I love Kentucky basketball.

    JJ and Moreno the best duo from Lexington.

    Go watch the minutes he played against Iowa St. and tell me it's the fault of the coaches. Their only fault was putting him in that game.

    JJ and Moreno the best duo from Lexington.

    Pope had nothing to do with the bad basketball I saw JJ play. He made elementary level mistakes, the kind you take for granted every college basketball players know.

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    COVID year still happened. COVID didn't make Calipari fail. Mark Few almost went undefeated that year, and he didn't blame COVID. $22 MIL has been confirmed? Prove it. Pope assembled a bad roster this season. He lost his PG and never got to see the full product healthy and playing together. I...

    I'm hoping Acuff takes Cal to the Final Four, so that it puts more pressure on the Good Ole Boys up at Kentucky.

    This is that part in Scooby-Doo where Shaggy pulls off Son_Of_Saul's mask to reveal he's really Brad Calipari.

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    Whoops. I forgot to turn my sarcasm meter on before joining the message board this morning. There was no sarcasm in your post. You took the blame from Calipari and put it on Pope's shoulders by suggesting the transfer portal allows for coaches to rebuild at will every year, and that roster...

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    He is better than Wheeler and Harrow, for sure. Lowe's transfer portal rating was 95, Wheeler's, 89. Lamont Butler's was 94, a tick below Lowe. Lowe was rated higher in the portal than Elliot Cadeau (Michigan), Tre Donaldson (Miami), Nick Boyd (Wisconsin), and Jayden Pierra (TCU), among others...

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    Facts disagree. In 2024-25, Pope returned 0% from the previous year's roster. In 2025-26, only 30%. Why? Because he had to piece together a competitor with players having only a single year of eligibility in 2025, Calipari having left him no returning players. How many minutes played and...

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    The athletic department had nothing to do with Calipari going 9-16, a loss to St. Peter's, and a loss to Oakland. Calipari has everything to do with his departure and leaving not a single returning player on the roster. His loyalty to UK was zilch on his way out.

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    ...was Lowe's injury, both for the fans and for UL's decision-makers. If Lowe doesn't get hurt, he either balls out, making UK a much better team, increasing wins/record, seeding in both tournaments, and overall watchability. That would have been good for the fans. Or, he stinks like everyone...
