    Was Travis Perry the Victim of His own Hardearned Success

    This is most likely the answer. Three bodies one mind is a powerful force, and something Travis would not yet have had at UK. No matter how quick the defenders are, they’re not faster than a pass and the synergy between three players who have spent years together - particularly if they have...

    Mark Pope - Reaching out to former UK players

    Add to that he thought the whole job was simply to recruit and coach (however badly). He could not or would do not all the rest that comes with being the head coach at Kentucky. Smoozing the doners, meeting fans, attending public events and so on. Plus he wouldn’t sign his contract, which was...

    Does Travis Perry have a definable role for 2025-26 ?

    His role is to develop. Too many years of Cal have left people believing you either come out of HS one step out of the draft or you’re a worthless bench warmer. Not so. My favorite UK example is Nazr Mohammad, who was pitiful as a freshman but became a monster. That’s an extreme example but...

    Rank Coach Mark Pope’s 1st year vs our other coaches 1st years (the seasons you experienced)

    Every time I hear this, I always think - Tubby won a title with a weaker team than the one Pitino didn't win with the year before.

    All time UK vs U of L tournament teams

    Personally, I'd go with the following for Louisville PG Butch Beard SG Darrell Griffith SF Billy Thompson PF Rodney McCray C Pervis Ellison Darrell Griffith driving on Anthony Davis would be a matchup for the ages. No doubt that Griffith would put some monster dunks in Davis's face, and it's...

    Pick one player from UK history you’d loved to have thrown on the court last night

    Good choice. I’ve just always had a warm spot in my heart for Magliore ever since he almost snapped Wojo in half. What’s he doing to Wojo??

    The Morning After , dissecting the SS loss .

    I feel the game was lost in the 3-1/2 minutes from 6:30 left in the half until the 3:05 mark, when UT extended their lead from 31-20 to 39-20. From that point on, UK out scored UT 45-39, but they could not close the gap nearly quickly enough. UT defended the three point line extremely well...

    I don't want to hear a bad word about any of these players

    Well you should. Because the season is over. It’s no longer time to assign blame, post recriminations, or denigrate any player. It’s now time to celebrate once again a team of athletes who played for the name on the front of the jersey instead of the one on the back. It’s been far too long...

    Duke -6.5

    Thanks for the thumbs up on my edit. To be honest I rarely do that sort of post as I feel that I'm putting words in other people's mouths, but I just couldn't resist this one. I love the fact that you agree, and love even more that Indiana has been so irrelevant for so long they didn't even...

    7’3 Italian Center to Cats?

    He needs to watch some videos of Shagari Alleyne (No, Shag wasn't a superstar, but he did know what a 7'3" player was supposed to do with the ball anywhere near the rim)

    Former Tulane wing Kam Williams commits to Kentucky

    And I agree that Walker was the better college player. I just thought that if you trying to illustrate an example of a (relatively) low ranked incoming player who turned out to be spectacular vs a highly ranked player who turns out to be a bust, then Thompson wasn't a particularly good choice...
