    Jim Nantz is quitting

    Not necessarily Nantz related but one of my all time favorite videos is the clip of Charles Barkley watching the final shot of this game. The sheer joy coupled with the disappointment of Kenny Smith is amazing

    Nobody talking about the fight between Bryant and Wagner?

    Well, #1 there's a reason you usually play these tourneys at neutral locations, especially when you're playing in what amounts to not much more than a high school gym. But second, absolutely horrible job by the officiating crew keeping control of the atmosphere. I watched the game highlights...

    Cal the last few seconds of the game..

    Yeah that was after Agbaji sat out with Covid which he might have had during the UK game

    SEC Wins Big XII Challenge.

    Well iirc last year's game vs. Texas was supposed to be at Rupp which would follow the alternating pattern

    Serious question about Jerry Tipton

    Tipton & the LHL are still living off the pulitzer that they got during the "Kentucky's Shame" days. Tipton kinda reminds me of the times on WKRP in Cincinnati when Les Nessman actually had to cover sports & asked all sorts of oddball questions whenever given the opportunity to talk directly to...

    Detroit Mercy Will Be Backing Out Of The Bluegrass Showcase.

    If you think there is ANY other reason Detroit Mercy is on our schedule that doesn't include the name Brad Calapari...[roll]

    Can we talk about the court at Rupp?

    So the first thing of note is that all of the court design/signage etc is for the television cameras. Those have always been opposite the benches, thus the logos & such face that way. The bottom logo looks like they maybe adjusted it so that it wasn't drowned out by the glare from the lights -...

    Tyler Herro

    Wasn't he the one driving the Maserati around town right after declaring for the draft? What happened to that?

    Did any of you guys attend the 1985 Final Four in Lexington?

    This. I was in the 8th grade band at Jessie Clark & the band director was also the Lafayette director. I missed out on this honor by a couple of years. Think they were sent copies of the St. Johns fight song to learn.

    Classic quote from former Utah HC the late Rick Majerus

    That was the thing. After beatdowns in 93, 96 & 97 - you would imagine Majerus & Ute fans were elated that the committee finally put them in the complete opposite side of the bracket. But lo & behold, who do they end up playing in the championship game? [roll]

    OT: How do I get my free chick fila?

    I forget exactly, but you either have to allow location services for the CFA app, or set one of the Lexington area locations as a favorite. Once you do that, anytime you open the app & there's a freebie to be claimed it will pop up. Kinda late now, but check it often, especially in Jan/Feb...

    No assist for EJ?

    I understand, but it's dumb logic. So if Maxey decides to be lazy and shoot the wide open 15 footer from the elbow, he gets an assist. But since Maxey was aggressive and took the 1 dribble to shoot the contested shot, no assist.

    officiating question...

    This is EXACTLY what happened at the end of the championship game last year. Refs will quite often not call a foul in leiu of giving possession on what would otherwise be a questionable call. Partially to help alleviate a game getting bogged down by fouls. But NOW you are forced to review...
