    Lloyd staying at Arizona

    I was born, raised, and lived the first 30 years of my life in Virginia, which is topographically similar to NC with the mountains, Piedmont and the Tidewater regions, and steeped in history. When I moved to upper East TN and lived for 26 years before retiring to south Florida, we spent a lot of...

    Lloyd staying at Arizona

    From Murphy to Hatteras, it's a gorgeous state with a cornucopia of things to see and do.

    Reed with another great night!

    Told my wife after that debacle was over that everyone else who participated in that game should go up to Reeves and Mitchell and apologize profusely for their pitiful performance.

    Reed with another great night!

    I was somewhat skeptical of him until I saw him in an AAU game with other high level talent between his junior and senior years. Not only did he belong, he was arguably the best player on the floor.

    Braylon Mullins-Jasper Johnson

    Absolutely, and if you look at their stat lines, they're very similar. The biggest difference was Mullins played 28 mpg and had a good point guard running the show while Johnson played 12 mpg and had to play point much of the time. If Mullins hadn't hit that one shot yesterday, no one here would...

    Your favorite UK Elite Eight game

    1975 vs IU Beating RMK and spoiling IU's undefeated season was enormously satisfying. 1998 over Dook is a close second, watching Tubby play chicken with Coach Rodent down the stretch and Coach Rodent blinking first.

    Are we really going to have to suffer through a 3rd year with Pope?

    Am I going to have to put another poster on ignore for starting yet another ridiculous thread? Apparently that’s a yes.

    What was your favorite UK Sweet 16 game?

    1970 in Columbus Cats 109 Notre Dame 99 Cats overcome a 5 point halftime deficit and 52 points by Austin Carr to get the win behind Issel’s 44 points. The beauty of this game? My dad and I were glued to the radio because it wasn’t televised on any of the three channels we got back then. 😎

    How much different would our season had been if Pope's entire roster, Lowe, JQ, CW played all year?

    A healthy roster probably gets regular season wins vs UNCheats, Mizzuruh, Georgia, Allbarn, and maybe one win against Florida. Four of those 5 makes us 23-8 going into the SECT. Go 2-1 in the SECT, and we're 25-9 and probably a 5 seed and maybe still playing..or maybe not.

    Did we really kick the tires on Billy Donovan the last time?

    Because people don't think realistically/rationally when it comes to thinking that these coaches would do what they believe they would do in that situation. Donovan signed an extension last summer, and the Bulls want to rebuild with him. Even if the Bulls changed their mind and let him go, his...

    Did we really kick the tires on Billy Donovan the last time?

    Thoughts? Donovan said he was tired of the recruiting scene and has remarked how great it is "to just coach basketball" in the NBA. Recruiting is infinitely worse now than it was when Donovan left. The Bulls like Donovan and signed him to a contract extension last summer. If Donovan wanted to be...

    Did Oweh save Mark Pope’s job

    Did Oweh save Pope's job? No, Pope was coming back win or lose. I don't have inside information, but I am realistic.
