    Memphis

    Last year with Tubby's leftover slaw and 3 3 star freshmen (2 that are under 5'10), Penny was 2-0 vs Marshall and 0-2 vs Houston. Houston was a Top 10 team that had to win in the last minute at the Conference Semifinal. What do you think the outcome will be when Penny has equal or better...

    Proposing 72 Teams in the tourney

    UCONN wasn't "crowned" champion, the won 6 games in a row and won the championship. That's what makes the tournament better than the football playoff - every D-1 team has a legit chance to win the championship, and the "best" teams as decided by talking heads, get knocked off.

    Proposing 72 Teams in the tourney

    I would be for expansion provided the following criteria is set: No team with a sub .500 conference record can receive an at large bid. There are too many mediocre Power 5 teams that get bids vs mid majors like St. Mary's and MTSU. Every year, really good mid majors that are upset in their...

    David Robinsin and Tom Yeager call out the BS UNC fraud case

    It's funny that somehow Wes is involved in getting players (Barton/Goodwin) to Memphis after Cal left, never attended Memphis games after Cal left, is seen all the time around Cal, his recruits, and in Rupp - but UK doesn't benefit from his "services?"

    David Robinsin and Tom Yeager call out the BS UNC fraud case

    Listen, I'm not defending Roy, or the NCAA. My belief is that every school that is perennially in the Top 25, is operating in some manner outside the rules set by the NCAA. I had no delusions that Rose, Evans, and hell even the Laurinburg Prep kids weren't given $, benefits, or academic...

    David Robinsin and Tom Yeager call out the BS UNC fraud case

    How many schools has Roy put on probation? How many has your current coach, who by the way has the same staff and, ahem "friend of the program" from his previous stop?

    5* Jordan Brown commits to Nevada

    You realize the rest of the country laughs hysterically when UK fans accuse other schools of paying players, having shady academic players qualify miraculously, "surprise" recruits showing up on campus, or denying that Nike, Adidas, Underarmour are steering kids to every school EXCEPT UK?

    In your opinion. What one fact says UK is the greatest basketball school ever?

    The fact that you think everyone BUT UK is cheating is hilarious and quite naïve.

    In your opinion. What one fact says UK is the greatest basketball school ever?

    If a team plays 40 games in a season and wins 36 (like Villanova this past year), they won 90% of their games. If a team plays 37 games and wins 29 (like Duke this past year), they won 78% of their games. There are numerous teams every year that win over 75% of their games. Percentages - I...

    Wendell Carter Jr.'s Mother compares NCAA to Slavery

    Carter's attitude says everything. These OAD kids don't care about an education, just compensation. Saying they are student athletes is a farce and charade. I say revoke the OAD rule and allow kids to enter the draft - with no safety net of going to college if undrafted. You want to be a...

    In your opinion. What one fact says UK is the greatest basketball school ever?

    5 coaches winning titles is the most impressive stat. Proves that the program is bigger than any 1 coach. When K retires, Duke will fall off, ala UCLA and Indiana. Anyone remember the season he sat out for back surgery? UConn made a great little run while Calhoun was there. It's now a...

    Tarheels : 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009, 2017. Think this the same - 5 decades.

    To all the Memphis reporting how UK fans are losing it over Penny being UMs coach.

    Hiring a head coach is pretty much a crap shoot. There are only a handful of coaches that leave on their own terms. Memphis' last 2 hires were mediocre and horrible. Pastner was hired because no one wanted to take a job following the best coach in program history who took the #1 recruiting...

    Ben Roberts: Jeffries actively working on Wiseman to join him at UK

    Penny is just starting his career. He’s not a “legend” to anyone yet. I’ve never said he’s the best coach. However, how has a coach that is an expert at evaluating talent, recruiting top 2 classes , & “coaching it up” only have 1 title, yet K has 2, Wright has 2, & Uconn has 2 in the years...

    More evidence that K is a piece of %&%&

    If you ever sit close enough to hear Cal scream at his players, you better hope your wife, daughter, and mother aren't with you.
