    Al McGuire on the tradition of Kentucky basketball

    AL wanted the UK job badly and many in Ky wanted him instead of Hall, my dad included.

    Scouting Kentucky

    Scouting, if I am opponent: would not even try to keep Oscar off of the boards on my offensive end, because you likely won't and then you will give up 2 things by trying - boards and the fast break. Send everyone back at all costs to stop the fast break and force UK into half court sets...

    UNC fan

    The OP stated 2 posts above me that the UNC fan was surprised that Oscar was 6'9..... so... just conversing with the OP if that is OK? If O is 6'9, all other CBB players we have played against are in a conspiracy together to understate their height by a couple of inches. For example, pull up...

    UNC fan

    Personally, I would b surprised if Oscar was actually 6'8 or 6'9. I remember other teams' 6'9 players looking a couple inches over ours last year, especially big O

    Can Cal just recruit the rest of Reed Sheppard's team?

    You would have to recruit the head coach too - what you saw was a result of philosophy and catering to player strengths. They play an exciting, fast, high IQ motion with cuts and backdoors similar to Pitino ball on offense and some really smart defense too. They could beat many D1 schools...

    Brady Welsh addressing injury prevention

    When I watch a player dive into or onto another player like that, I think there should be rules in place to discourage it and protect players. Like maybe, a flagrant 2 for jumping into/onto a man during loose balls. I know it would change the way coaches teach so called 50/50 balls, but it...

    Still too early updated 2023 bracketology has UK, Houston, Gonzaga and UNCheat as #1 seeds

    I can't understand how the AP, Coaches polls, NCAA committee, and national media are all complicit in this and No One calls them out. Every. Single. Year. How can Gonzaga go 50/50 vs 6 - 7 decent teams every year then be the number 1 overall seed? Yeah, they have the adjust3d #1 rated...

    Jabari Smith Jr On UK.

    Can someone who was paying attention about this time 2 years ago remind me of how the Jabari and Paolo recruitments went down. I wasn't paying real close attention and vaguely remember coming in late on Jabari and for some reason taking our foot off the pedal on Paolo, after maybe it was rumored...

    Jabari Smith Jr On UK.

    He stated in the interview that he decided based on the school that had the longest relationship and believed in him, not just jumping on the bandwagon when he became highly ranked.

    Guy on my hunting board has 2 Uk basketballs

    Looks real. $100 for both could mean: $100 for the two as a set, or $100 for each one. If the former, it is a great deal if you live close enough; if it is the latter, I would say they are priced about right. I live west of Paducah, or I would be stealing this out from under you if it is $100...

    Ranking The Best "13 Year Eras" In UK History

    I don't have any memories of Rupp era, but the Hall era was very frustrating. Although I didn't think so at the time, looking back now, expectations were unfairly high in his early years. Maybe with more age, I will look more fairly on his last 8 yrs too, but after the 1978 NCAA NT...

    Guy on my hunting board has 2 Uk basketballs

    That sounds too good to be true kind of deal. I would proceed with caution. The Basketballs and cases are worth more than $100 without the sigs!

    Jeff Goodman going after UK fans on his twitter

    Goodman posted this: "So, you think it would have been a smart decision for a likely Top 10 pick to go out there and play weeks after landing on campus as a freshman? I respectfully disagree. Would have been put in a difficult situation to succeed." To which I replied: "He is playing summer...

    Jeff Goodman going after UK fans on his twitter

    UK fans say a lot of things, some not very nice, but slander implies a lie. I haven't seen a lie about his character. I have however heard many lies from him and his camp, so maybe they should stop slandering themselves.

    Jeff Goodman going after UK fans on his twitter

    It bothers me that he believes statement to be true. He and I have a very different definition of "right", and a different level of audacity to publicly brag about doing things so wrong, then call them right! A good reporter would have followed that up with listing his actions over the last year...
