    The Final Four whistle…..

    To each their own, but a problem that comes with games called like the OP suggests is that after 38 minutes of a wrestling match we get one of our favorites in stripes calling a touch foul 35 feet from the basket that changes a game. Defense should be played with your feet and brains, the...

    Jay Williams

    I think this game is going to lay on Duke and it's fans like the Georgetown anomaly has haunted UK for decades. When you had the best team and everyone knows it, it just never heals. What a shame. :) GBB!

    My nerves are already high.

    I soooo want to enjoy the weekend of basketball. The Cal-exits have robbed that joy and fun of what should be a great weekend for BB fans ( you know, Basketball Bennys). Just win, baby! GBB!

    Simple truth

    Because of injuries the ceiling has been lowered, but it was only that high because the team and coach overperformed early in the year. The talent is limited. Now, it's extremely limited. I want to see Pope do 2 things in the off season; significantly upgrade our talent (of course), and...

    All of the Calipari stubborn things that won't exist with Pope

    How confused will Coach Pope be when he runs an out of bounds play for the first time, and Rupp Arena goes crazy?

    Please have a committee for the next hire.

    Jack Givens, please. He understands and lived all aspects of KY basketball.

    Semi-Final Final Four Saturday night games

    Excellent example of how a seemingly small call can change a game. The entire momentum of the game changed with that call.

    Miss the days when college basketball was not about money

    Right or wrong, the OP is one of my favorites that I've read here in a long time. What I wouldn't give to hear Cawood telling me that the "Cats are moving left to right on your radio dial." If you're not old enough to remember it, good on ya. But, it was the way I fell in love with my Cats...

    Friday NCAA games on TV

    Usually you have at least one person on the broadcast that isn't openly rooting for one team; but not tonight

    Cal has taken a lot from fans

    I completely agree with OP; however you left one out. Cal has made it commonplace for teams of clearly lesser talent come into Rupp Arena and win. He has removed anything similar to an intimidating home court. Doing things like not starting your best players can accomplish things like that...

    Post officiating

    In an attempt to make the block/charge call easier for the refs they have created the dynamic where pure bully-ball is rewarded. There are a number of players/coaches in college this year who have learned that literally running over players who are in legal defensive position will be grandly...

    Santiago Vescovi

    It might be tough on some guys to play with someone who will have the green light to put up 29 shots in a game.

    I think Dillingham is the X factor today

    Barnes will have the boys in stripes ready; Dilly will have 2 fouls in less than 5 minutes.

    What Are You Mad At!?

    I'm mad at those who grow fat and happy on the back of BBN's misery without being held responsible in any real, tangible way. Cappiluto Barnhart Cal Officiating in all of college ball The vultures who profit as high school "insiders" turning young people into market options. (These are the...
