    Pete Maravich responds to Pat Riley calling him the most overrated superstar whoever came down the pike

    all I can say is that no one else has ever made me say "Wow!" like Maravich did. He looked like he was having fun, putting on a show, and not giving a **** about where he would be drafted or how much he would make. There aren't many players in the major sports that people would PAY to see, but...

    The reason we are seeing so many players return.

    there isn't much in life that can be as much fun as being a star athlete at a big-time college program. Almost everything after that is downhill. Maybe some of them are figuring it out.....

    SIAP: Jackson says he won't stay in draft unless he's guaranteed lottery

    IF this is true, he'll be back. definitely not a lottery pick........yet.

    Why will next year be any different?

    we HAVE to be better next year, because according to the objective analytics, UK was the unluckiest team in college basketball! We will win 5 more games based just on better luck alone.

    If Mintz returns I think he can be like Russ Smith

    I just don't know WHERE Mintz would go? If he didn't come back? Certainly no other college team. Definitely not the NBA or the G-League. He could go to Europe, Turkey, or Africa. But, I think any of those would actually be a cut in pay. He should take this horse as a gift and not look in the mouth!

    Commercials during the NCAA

    everything with Barkley is hilarious, although they do eventually get old! Lilly, OTOH, I could watch her all day. Just needs to be wearing something tighter and more sheer!! Do not get the weird vanilla coke monsters or the singing hood ornament.....

    Gonzaga---Kentucky

    Ralph did bring up something that I appreciated about this tournament over previous ones. The officiating for the ENTIRE tournament was MUCH better than in times past. I would like to know why? You did not see endless FT shooting exhibitions and whole starting lineups fouling out. By and large...

    Gonzaga---Kentucky

    we were the much better team. if all things had been equal, we would have run Arizona out of the gym

    Gonzaga---Kentucky

    money, you could be right, but methinks you are at least slightly exaggerating. I have seen Gonzaga several times this year, and last night, they just looked slower than usual. Fatigue will make one look less athletic while making the other team look better. And they were front-rimming their...

    Askew leaving UK

    I am actually sorry to see him leave. he would have been a nice player to have around his junior and senior years. Unfortunately, he is burdened with notions that he is better than he actually is, when compared to pros. He could be a great college player in 2-3 years, but he will never be an NBA...
