I’d argue splitting into 2 divisions and 32 teams each is actually a better system…. It makes the regular season and in conference play matter so much more.
Everyone loves the Cinderella run to the E8 but the reality is, if I was at a mid major, I’d rather have a chance to win something that...
This is the historically correct answer.
E8 is our historical season. Meet it or exceed it and it’s a success. Fall short and it’s disappointing with this roster construction and expectations.
Do we need to talk about the record vs other ranked teams and other bluebloods? Do we need to talk about Evansville, Wilmington, Oakland, St.Peters? Or the worst season in UK history?
He had a great decade here but do t act like the last 4-5 years was sunshine and roses
It’s a product of the majority of modern Americans and westerners not realizing how privileged they are to live here. They are spoiled and have little real world experience (non tourist destinations) with life outside their westernized bubble so they go to these other countries with their...
They didn’t spend money like that before because they were in a mid major conference without multi-million dollar tv contracts.
Add to that the fact that the Wild West NIL off season free agency resulting in recruiting via million dollar deals didn’t really start until 2 years ago.

Probably accurate for many…but it was widely reported JQ accepted less to come to Kentucky than he was being offered elsewhere.
It’s a balance if those factors but it isn’t always in that order and many view it as a cumulative score I.e which place allows me to maximize the combination of...
Probably in the same boat. This being the free board is a big reason it’s the most active single team sports forum in all of athletics at any level. It’s why we get visitors from the rest of college basketball as well.
Maybe I’ll pay to post during season and let it laps in the offseason…who...

That’s a legit 12 deep that is getting anywhere from 100k-2m
My bet is all the returnees other than maybe Noah are getting 1-2m.
Results aren’t guaranteed in a 1nD tournament...
I think an interesting thought exercise is had he not been forced into playing time in year 1 due to injuries, does he still transfer or would he still view himself on his original plan/schedule as a 2 year minimum role player with hopes of being a bigger contributor in year 3-4.
Would he have...
It’s also annoying bc that style is very dependent on winning the war of attrition…and due to all the added TV timeouts in the reg season and even more added tv timeouts in March, it heavily neutralizes that advantage.
I really wish they’d go to in game ads like soccer for all sports
