    Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

    What a dumb take! There was a chance, although small, we could possibly blow it. It completely iced it after that.

    We ready to be honest about Malachi?

    Ridiculous to even bring it up. He's fine and he's ahead of schedule. Unless you're a consensus Top 3 player like a Davis or Cousins, big men struggle physically to adjust to the game. WCS was an ok freshman, Labisserie was terrible, but going further back Nazr, Magloire, Morris, Turpin all...

    Probably a wild statement but…Baker-Mazara

    We had some fans arguing back in 2007-8 that Bud Mackey deserved a chance after getting arrested for selling crack so I guess adding Baker-Mazzara wouldn't be quite that bad.

    Jerome Tang out at Kansas St

    Also the only game I ever remember starting with free throws before tipoff because KSU dunked in the layup line during pregame warm-up which is not allowed and they were hit with a technical. UK started the game 1-0 before time had even started.

    Pitino had 23 total losses in his last five years at Kentucky. Pope will have more than that in his first two years.

    I'm not all in on Pope by any means but FFS you're comparing arguably the greatest 5-year stretch of UK basketball (with the exception of 1946-1951) and saying "well this isn't nearly as good". Well no $h!t it not as good! There are very few periods that were anywhere close to that

    Don't care what people say

    No. I don't think they are.

    SOS

    By contrast Cal's first season that a lot of fans treat as the redemption of Kentucky basketball (and from a recruiting standpoint I agree a 100% it was) was the biggest collection of crap opponents. 35-3 against a bunch of stiffs. Late game heroics from John Wall against UCONN who went 17-16...

    Who were the biggest anti UK announcers?

    Len Elmore. Hated UK

    Now the one thing …please put to bed

    The best thing about Trent Noah is he's going to be a junior here next year. He's never going to be an all-American but he doesn't need to be. He's never going to be an athletic slasher but he's one of our better rebounders, He's actually a pretty good defender, he's got good footwork and he's...

    Last night reminded me of the first Cal/Rick UK UofL game

    Cal took a page from Rick and I think tried to bully our guys or get them to react badly because the book is out that we have a knucklehead or two who may do that. And just like that time, we found out who the real b#### was and it wasn't UK. Best performance this year by players and coaches...

    Pitinos first years

    Before the 89-90 season, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution picked us to win 2 games all season. The Cats Pause preseason prediction was 6 or 7 wins. Cawood Ledford went way out on a limb and predicted eight wins (and said later he thought we'd be lucky to win four games but he wanted to be...

    That call to take OWEH’S bucket away!

    The officiating was pretty poor. They did get the shot clock issue correct and I'm not blaming our total lack of offense in the first half on the officials but it seemed like LSU got away with whatever they wanted and we couldn't breath on them without a whistle.

    That call to take OWEH’S bucket away!

    That was a really $hitty job by ESPN. I thought it was good from that the angle they showed over and over again before the refs announced their review. But I kept wondering "don't they have the camera shot you ALWAYS see from the front of the goal with the clock and light" which is the easiest...

    GYERO

    The whole thing is sad. I hate seeing the program in this shape but it's clear that he is in over his head. I feel empathy when I see him because I know he loves UK, he's a decent guy and I hate watching him knowing it's not getting better. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for this...

    Blowouts in CBB: Becoming More Common?

    NIL and transfer portal together are my guess. The days of seeing a mid major to lower D-1 school develop players and teams are probably over when all they are doing is being feeder programs for bigger conferences and names.
