    Big Blue Bahamas MVP - R33V3S

    True, but there's no excuse for guys to play tired on this team. There are a lot of guys that command minutes. There won't be a huge drop-off when anyone gets some bench time to keep the legs fresh.

    Big Blue Bahamas MVP - R33V3S

    It's definitely refreshing to see a guy who hits such a high percentage of his open shots.

    Assist/Turnover Ratio for Calipari PGs

    This may well prove to be true, but its unfair to use statistics to justify the claim. You’d be comparing a player who has played only a handful of games — all but one against vastly inferior teams — with guys who played one or more full seasons. Wheeler’s numbers will certainly come down a...

    ******OSU vs UK Official Game Thread...Dedicated to CINDOG*******

    OSU has scored on EJ for about 40 points in this game. Dreadful defending.

    What the source of this "quote?"

    The Grantland recollection was the key! I found it. Here's the quote from Matt Jones of all people writing for Grantland in a contribution from Oct. 21, 2011. "In Kentucky, we care more about basketball than you do. In fact, we care more about basketball than you probably care about...

    What the source of this "quote?"

    If you put a gun to my head and made me guess where I read it, I'd say it was a Grantland story from the early days of that website.

    I am going, but I am not sure how to find the cheapest tickets. I may just scalp em a few minutes after tip. I’ll just have to hope that there’ll be some then.

    Rondo talking to the Pelicans

    It seems like Rondo and Boogie got along well in Sacramento. Both seem like guys who have a history of not buying in when the situation isn't to their liking, but both are extremely effective when they are engaged. And it would seem that playing together and with Davis in New Orleans would be...

    Better accomplishment by Brad Stevens:

    Fair enough. Not sure I would consider 93-94 to 06-07 recent, but I certainly agree they were terrible for that whole stretch! Really terrible. In fact, Celtics fans hate Pitino a lot because of his role in that terribleness. Not nearly as much as UK fans hate him, but still, A LOT.

    The best true point guard to ever play at Kentucky was..

    It is incredibly tough to compare Wall and Ulis. Wall played with Cousins who was a top 5 draft pick and top 10 NBA player (both things Kentucky had rarely ever had before), Bledsoe (who has gone on to become an "almost NBA All-Star" level player), and Patterson (who is still making a strong...
