    Apparently we are scrimmaging Transy right now

    I don’t doubt there was some NCAA rule at play, but if it’s how you describe, how was Bellarmine able to add Notre Dame last week?

    details on KY taxpayer bailout of the Yum Center

    The city wanted it on the waterfront because the project would have involved removing the LG&E eyesore which no private investors would have ever paid for. Getting rid of that was a necessary evil and one of the main reasons the cost for the Yum Center got so high. History has proven that...

    Louisville vs. Virginia

    So UK get credit for an almost win at UL, but Virginia doesn't get credit for an almost win at Villanova?

    Was the slip a travel?

    Those are different scenarios that are treated differently. If you go to the ground without possession of the ball - i.e. diving for a loose ball - you could theoretically slide the length of the floor and it's not a travel. If you have possession of the ball and then go to the ground...

    Louisville on upset alert?

    Clemson is 3-0 against the SEC, defeating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th place teams in the current standings. They played UNC to overtime and ND and Virginia close. They're a pretty decent team in a rough conference.

    Changes You Would Make to the College Game...

    I agree that officials should be employees of either the NCAA or the conferences. However, I don't agree at all with 4 officials per game. In fact, I would go the other way and go back to 2 officials per game. However, I'd have the duos work together almost all the time, so they can become...

    Is Kentucky better than Louisville?

    I mean, I at least tried to explain in basketball terms why I wrote what I wrote.

    Is Kentucky better than Louisville?

    At the risk of getting blasted, both teams are about the same. Any games UL and UK played this year would go down to the wire. A lot of people on here want to say Snider had his "career" game, without commenting on why that happened - UK struggles on containing dribble penetration and is...

    UofL guard Quentin Snider will be out 2-3 weeks with a strained hip flexor

    That's fine, but your opinion is absurd. Would you be fine taking losses while the backups develop? I highly doubt it. The best players play the most minutes. Back ups develop in practice and need to be ready to play when called upon. That's how high major D1 basketball works. Our...

    UofL guard Quentin Snider will be out 2-3 weeks with a strained hip flexor

    This is ridiculous. He fell on his hip after being knocked to the ground. You think that had to do with him being overworked, or maybe it was just an unfortunate bump? He'll be fine. If this was March, he probably would be playing. He's also averaging 30 mpg for the season.

    The Incredible Ball Brothers

    That sounds about right. I can't believe for a second that the youngest one can ever shoot well against top competition with that form. There have been great shooters with odd form before, but nothing like that.

    The Incredible Ball Brothers

    That's quite an admission right there. Does anyone have season stats for the younger brothers? They hit some impressive shots on highlight videos, but I have to assume they're putting up a ton of shots. And I just can't imagine that the youngest brother's shot is sustainable with that form if...

    How bad is SEC East?

    You guys have improved record-wise, which ironically could turn out well for us this year. But it doesn't change the fact that 5 weeks ago you all wanted Stoops fired - and then MAC East play started. Kudos for winning those games, but I don't think it's time yet for you to come in puffing...

    4 major violations being reported

    The median salary for graduate assistants (including non-athletic ones) is around $20K. You could assume that being a basketball grad assistant at a high profile school like UL would carry a higher salary. I have heard that McGee made closer to $40K his first two years, but I can't really...

    Is the new 10 second rule confusing officials?

    Exactly. You listed the only 3 instances where the 10 second count does not reset to 10, none of which happened. So the count correctly reset to 10 on the timeout. As far as the scenario where the ball is deflected out of bounds and then a timeout is called, I'm honestly not sure. My...
