    Bill Walton estate auction

    I can remember seeing Bill Walton in the early 1970s. I watched the game in 1974 where ND beat UCLA ending their 88-game winning streak. I didn't care for Bill Walton. He was the best player on the evil empire of that time. Bill was a great basketball player though. His early years with...

    Greatest SEC Tournament Game Ever?

    My father and I were at the SEC tournament game in 1995. Like many of you, a love for Kentucky basketball was passed on to me from my father. He passed away in 2013, but I still think often of that SEC tournament game against Arkansas. At 61 years of age... that father/son time that we...

    Refs make the SEC unwatchable

    The fouls were 10-4 at one time. It was close to even by halftime. We aren't a great defensive team, but all those early fouls had to make us even more passive. By the end, OU had more fouls called on them than we did. Like many of you, I was FORCED to watch the Vandy aTM game. With 1:51...

    Pitino's renaissance

    Just some random thoughts on Pitino He was way ahead of the game at Providence by embracing the 3-point shot. Delray Brooks and Billy D on the team. Staff had Stu Jackson, Herb Sendek, and Jeff Van Gundy. What he did for UK fans while coaching here is close to a miracle. He immediately gave...

    Malachi Moreno 26 points, 22 rebounds

    Sam Bowie was about 40 years ahead of his time. If healthy, he would have been a GREAT fit for the modern style.

    Cal is miserable lol. Pissed too. Watch post game

    We all have heard that press conference numerous times over the past 5-6 years. Passive aggressive descriptions of players' game performances, while giving NO specifics on changes needing to be made to make the team better. I'm just extremely happy that I don't have to really care about...

    Any old timers remember

    My wife and I both attended APSU, and I am old enough to remember the 1972 team. I heard all the stories about Fly Williams when I was on campus. There is an article about the “50 Greatest Streetballers of All Time”. Earl “The Goat” Manigault was 1st and Fly Williams was 2nd. Other...

    Let me gripe a little

    I see us as a team where the sum is greater than the parts. Each of our players has strengths but most of them have easily seen weaknesses as well. Overall, we've played hard, but we lack team quickness and physicality at times. I prefer to look at the positive side of things we've seen so...
