    Curious about head coach when you became a fan

    Rupp - the fateful Texas Western game in 1966…..

    Unfortunately Kentucky basketball is....

    Get the right coach at UK and things can change quickly. Pope is a nice guy but, not the best fit at Kentucky. It requires a person with a grittier personality who has a track record of winning at a much higher level. Those guys are few and far between but out there. Tommy Lloyd would...

    The Big Ten

    Is now the dominant conference in the major sports. Their commissioner must be doing a bang up job. Is it time to replace Sankey with someone more forward thinking? Just curious….

    Any SEC team(s) in E8?

    I have UT beating Iowa State. Bama could beat Michigan but, Dusty May has some talent that could stop Bama as well. Toss up…

    Arizona by 20...

    Would love to have Tommy Lloyd at UK. He is a good recruiter and an excellent in game coach.

    Pope is now on the clock. Yahoo Sports story.

    That giving up attitude has been on full display all year. That is a reflection of the coaching. I am ready to move on from this experiment. Pope is not a good fit at UK and the sooner he is let go, the better. would love to see what Tommy Lloyd would do here. He is a great...

    If tomorrow is Owehs last game...

    So glad he transferred when he did. UK would not have made the tournament this year without him. Hope Oweh has five more games to play before he graduates!

    Dan Issel worried about UK ability to win a NCAA title

    The UK bb program under the current staff is heading in the wrong direction regarding both recruiting and coaching up the players to be successful. Issel needs to part of the process of hiring the next coach if he wants to help the program out. I don’t see much positivity happening if...

    Easiest bracket we could’ve asked for

    Santa Clara hustles and shoots the three well. I love the Cats but, am not convinced that the guys are motivated to win a championship when there is so much money already secured in their bank accounts. Call me cynical, but this team’s inconsistent play and spotty coaching does not inspire...

    ***Selection Sunday Thread***

    Santa Clara is no slouch. UK better bring their A game…

    Do we miss Calipari yet?

    No. He was clearly burned out and needed the change as much as we did. Vandy shot their wad against UF and Arkansas had the better athletes. Congrats to the Hogs.

    Paco and Albinogator

    Vandy playing a perfect game and UF resting on their laurels. Kudos to the Dores and Byington for an excellent game plan.

    Perspective…

    I really like Pope as a person. Unfortunately, he is not UK coaching material. I see nothing in his recruiting or coaching acumen that gives me hope that he can take a team to a final four, which is or should be a prerequisite for getting the UK men’s basketball job. I wish it were...
