    God help us if we have to play UC and WVU back to back

    No, you are seeing things right. WVU is small ( huge advantage for UK), they foul a lot (free points for UK), they like to run and press the entire game (good news for UK), and they really, really struggle to score (oh, look, more good news for UK).

    God help us if we have to play UC and WVU back to back

    People understand it just fine, but some of you are clearly exaggerating the effects of a physical game and being drama queens about it. UK goes nine deep with no one playing more than 25 minutes a game most of the time. They are easily the freshest team in this tournament. Having to play a...

    UK now third in the Zimmerman derby

    If you consider 247 the worst recruiting site out there, then why are you giving any credence to them saying UK is third for Zimmerman? Better yet, why are you repeating it as if it were a fact, and questioning how big of a miss it would be for Cal?

    Frank Martin important point re: Harrisons & Booker/Ulis

    I think that's because of the make up of this particular team. Trying to keep 9-10 players happy is hard, and chemistry problems are the one thing that can definitely ruin this team. Right now, one the best attributes of this team is their chemistry. If they want to be special, then that...

    Calipari's ridiculously complex offenses vs. South Carolina

    What do you mean "whatever that means"? It means exactly what it says; an offensive set. Also, Cal doesn't run a whole lot of specific set "plays". He runs some, but not a lot. Instead he likes to run actions, that open up react and react situations, allowing his players the freedom to...

    The "End" of the Twins vs Ulis/Booker Talk

    Actually it's been brought up, mentioned and discussed before the Martin press conference, but, yes, it was very insightful.

    80.7 defensive efficiency

    Here's an email that I got just last Saturday from a buddy of mine, who is a subscriber to Kenpom's site: "Actually it's not just math. Pomeroy looks at the numbers and makes adjustments for any outliers to his model. In Kentucky's case, their defensive efficiency has been so much better...

    Calipari's offensive sets vs. Vandy (and other notes)

    Being an inside out team doesn't mean the big guys have to win the game posting up. You can play inside out and still play read and react. The twins and Ulis can just as easily drive the ball and throw lobs playing inside out. Up until last night the bigs were drawing double/triple teams and...

    18-0 Baby

    Some fans can't see it this way, though. It's sad, but with some their lives revolve around UK basketball and they live vicariously through the team. If UK doesn't win by 20+ points, then they can't brag about it and/or talk smack to other fan bases.

    Stop Throwing It Down Low!

    Have you even watched UK this year? It wasn't abnormal at all. Cal makes it a point to throw it down low every single game. During the last few games he has been telling them that if they don't feed the post, then they are coming out. Tonight is how UK has been playing; inside-out. Nothing has...

    Rivals Board

    Just Google "rivals main basketball board". It should be the first link that pops up. It'll say college football in the title, but if you look at the actual web address it says college basketball. Google

    How many minutes would you like to see Booker and Ulis get?

    I get it, Ulis hit the big three, but don't get carried away and act like he brings so much more than Andrew. A lot of players were bad today, not just the twins. Also, the rest of the game Ulis did absolutely nothing and constantly got beat by his man on D. If Ulis played 33 mins. in that...
