2 years ago the SEC had a historically good season. Last year it was still the best conference in basketball.
This conference isn't just a "football" conference anymore.
I can wait. I'll reserve complete judgement until I know who (or if) this is being replaced with another good team OR cupcake city. I am guessing cupcake city tho.
That being said, I don't agree with us not having much to gain by playing them. Gonzaga has been consistently good under Few...
Yeah Pope realized he needs to trim down his non conference schedule because he knows we aren't quite on that level anymore and Few agreed to it because he knows UK isn't currently the elite school it once was.
Hence the mutual decision.
What lmao.
I mean.......it's two games. How lopsided could two games even be lol
This move just reeks of ducking another good team because Pope knows his isn't on that level and probably won't be for the foreseeable future.
Why do people talk about this game as if Wisconsin wasn't a very good team as well lol.
That team has a historically good offense. It was far better than ours. Yeah we were better overall but there wasn't this gulf to where it was some major upset as some like to suggest here.
And also that's...
I feel like the 1st round exits are a pretty weak argument.
Upsets happen. **** happens. It's a one and done tournament. Those teams were actually pretty good and had good seasons.
And yeah I get it. It's a result based business here. You don't get anything for 2 and 3 seed type seasons.
But...
Maybe the system is shifting more towards portal guys over HS recruiting but as this point Pope isn't really doing that either.
At the end of the day you need talent and Cal is still bringing it in to a degree, Pope not so much right now.
That's great.
I mean if you cant see one is more likely to do better in the future compared to the other based on recruiting and prior success, I don't know what to tell ya lol.
This is becoming that messy divorce where 5-10 years down the road one party realizes they made a massive mistake lol.
I was always of the mindset of "well Cal didn't get the results lately he had to go".............I'm rethinking that now tho.
Fact is the man still can recruit. As long as...
