    Your Thoughts on Platooning Now

    I doubt if I'll see another UK team that loaded. They were destroying good teams before Poy went down. Practices were like D-league games and it made each player play harder longer. We leveled off post-Poy and teams closed the gap somewhat as we subbed less. IMO we were ten points better when...

    Pat Summitt much worse

    Yes, the difference was about $500. Amazing.

    And ESPN wonders why they're losing subscribers...

    They began as a lovable underdog taking on the NBC, CBS & ABC sports monopolies of major events. They showed all the sports they could find. They were fun and the on-air people were not pretentious. But as they gained more events and viewers, they became the same self-important pricks they had...

    Something serious is going on with the ladies

    Until and unless the actual cause of this player turnover is revealed, I'll wait and see what effect it has on their record. So far, MM has produced what he was hired to do: win games and make UK an SEC contender instead of the perennial doormat. He may well be a hard-*** coach to play for...

    Go get Jameel Warney

    He's exactly what this year's team needed.

    Cal Now Closer to "Super Team"

    That's my main concern. Hump and Wyn could be like Robey and Phillips, but our style doesn't suit them and no way both get enough minutes to develop. It's hard to expect 5 star frosh to become a true team in 9 months, and that assumes they all live up to their billings. A Ulis would make all...

    We lost this game in the summer

    When I see Lee playing, I see Andre Riddick 2.0.

    5 games in 9 days

    They play 6-7 hours a day everyday during the summer. Plus, they're kids in great shape. That excuse won't fly, imo.

    I'm getting old

    Just because the NCAA blew the seedings doesn't mean this isn't a big game. It is. My wish would be Poy going off for, say, 30 and 20. Can't win with guards alone.

    Villanova basically plays patty cake and gets a 1 seed

    I'd like to be the 16 seed in their region. :)

    I hate to bring up last year, but...

    I believe we would have.

    Does it ever click for Skal this season?

    It can happen given enough minutes. But might be to the detriment of the team. The skills are there; they just need honing. We'll know in a month. He, Poy, Lee & Willis are like lottery numbers: 1 or 2 may hit each game, but don't guess which one.

    The truth hurts

    *IF* the season started today, and knowing what we have now, I would have Hump and Tai compete for the 5 spot and stick the winner in there to provide bulk, rebounding and putbacks. Nothing more. With Willis at the 4, we'd be decent inside after a month of play. With 3 guards providing the...

    This team

    This is obviously a finesse team. The 3 guards have until March to learn to read each other and get Lee and Poy easy shots without turning it over. I can't see us winning 6 straight in the tourney unless Skal becomes a factor.

    Players only meeting?

    They talk to each other everyday. Chemistry either happens or it doesn't. And it occurs on the court, not in some meeting.
