    Writer calls Amari Williams sleeping giant in draft

    Do you even watch basketball? Williams is good defensively, most of the time. He does have defensive lapses, usually when he's down on himself for missing an easy basket. But he can play good defense. As for rebounding, he is a very good rebounder. Only 3 Wildcats (4 times) over the past 40+...

    Is it close or not

    The bench, yes. The starters, no.

    Do you expect early losses?

    EVERY team will have a "new batch of players". So I don't think that will be a factor any longer.

    FINAL LINEUP: Post Oweh Returning

    Damn, all of you guys are so focused with "coming off the bench" or not. SMH. Minutes are what matters!!!! BCG had Coury start all but 2 games, but he only played 10.7mpg (9th on the team in minutes). I think Stevenson was probably happier with his 24.4mpg (but only 2 starts). Or more...

    Tell the truth, some of y'all pulled for Hogs this day

    If that was in 81, I was 11 and did not yet watch any college basketball yet, not until 1-2 years later.

    UK vs UL series idea

    I think tying the Football game and the Basketball game together (on the same day) elevates BOTH games, making this an all-day EVENT, not just another rivalry game. Someone mentioned including the Women's team. I'm not sure you could fit all 3 without either a very late basketball game (9pm...

    OT but important to a lot of people on the board

    I made that argument (about Bonds and Clemens) on the MLB page on Facebook, and got a “like” to my reasoning from Ryne Sandberg (yes Ryno). I thought that was pretty cool. But we should all agree Joe Jackson was the biggest injustice, he didn’t even do anything wrong, he just knew of...

    Fland returning to college

    He actually shot pretty well until January (which could be argued as vs bad competition), not good in January before his injury, and then not well at all when he returned (as you might expect).

    NIL expert says Big East will be first, SEC last in revenue assigned to basketball …..

    While I believe there is some truth to that, every school is not the same. Schools like UK, Duke, Indiana, and probably UNC & UL value basketball (compared to football) at a different level than do Alabama, Texas, Clemson, FSU, Ohio St, Penn St. So even if the average SEC is $3.1M, you may have...

    Big changes coming to college basketball

    Don’t commit the fouls and they won’t get called. The foul problem is inconsistency (by refs). Some games refs call everything, some games they let a lot go. Players/teams will get as close to that line (foul / not foul) as they can get away with. But if that line moves from game to game...
