    Pitino to ruin Donovan Mitchell....

    I think I will trust the coaches on this one. Mitchell has to be quick enough to guard a SG and losing 15 pounds will help. I do not think weight at the guard spot is that important. The question is will it affect his ability to finish at the rim which is more a overall strength issue. Let's...

    SEC continued...

    Please do explain how the UK football program is close to the Louisville football program? 1) Records? 2) Defensive Stats? 3) Bowl games? 4) Coaching? 5) NFL draft picks? 6) Player development? The only thing that I can think of is offensive stats but that is only because Louisville had the...

    E'town's Erin Boley named national Gatorade POY !

    She had Louisville in her final group but no one thought she stay close to home. It will be interesting to see how her game translates at that level. Great kid!

    Coach K Says Fifth Year Transfers Are Hurting College Basketball

    This whole debate says a lot about how coaches view kids, they are a commodity. A student athlete LOI is year to year. The athlete should be able to transfer at the end of each year with no penalty. A coach can send them packing at the end of each year which happens but the student athlete...

    Adios Frankie Hughes

    I will be shocked if Onuaku is drafted in the first round. The NBA game is changing to small ball. He still isn't good enough defensively to guard or rebound at the level. If his improvement in his Junior is anything like what we saw in his sophomore year then he will be a first rounder easy.

    SEC continued...

    The truth is the committee doesn't look at conference affiliation. The only look at a teams resume. They look at several factors, but two key ones are wins against the RPI top 50 and losses outside the top 100. The SEC RPI wise only hurt UK it didn't help. Kentucky had zero wins in the SEC...

    UL vs. IU .. Who's more elite?

    I think pro sports in general has taken away from the overall interest in college sports. The only reason college sports (football/basketball) are so popular nationally is the gambling aspect. College interest will always be much stronger in states that have no pro sports teams to support. IU...

    SEC continued...

    The SEC is horrible and is the exact reason UK was a 4 seed. I think the SEC gives their young kids the opportunity to learn without the real threat of losing. Other conferences don't have that luxury. The way Cal schedules the bigger non-conference games puts his players in a good...

    It's a bad year to be sitting out

    It is hard to say, but this tournament has shown that everyone has good players. A defensive minded MSU shoots 55 percent from the field and loses. Virginia shoots lights out against Butler in the second half and it still comes down to the final 3 minutes. Here is where playing in the ACC...

    UK Classless As Usual

    Nothing to that play AP was just playing hard. Off topic, I think Alex P would have been an absolute stud under Pitino. He is the one player that would have been better suited in a player development program instead of Cals system. I think Lee would be significantly better under Pitino as...

    UK lamenting they did well with the lack of talent they had?

    Best point guard in the country Best shooting guard in the country Two MM at the center position, one is a Junior A MM at the power forward who is a senior, a 5 star backing him up. A MM playing out of position. Please stop with the no talent issue. This was a year where his lack of player...

    WVU's Lonnie Galloway to be UofL Co-OC

    I think we all agree Petrino runs the offense and is a good place for guys that want to become an offensive coordinator. That is why McGee leaving didn't bother me from a organizational perspective. McGee leaving does hurt on a day to day basis because he was a good recruiter, QB coach and...

    Outside the Lines

    If the ghost does exist Marra is the most plausible candidate. You have to go down a rabbit hole to make all the connections. I doubt Marra was involved if he was he will never discuss it with the NCAA. The only person that knew Coach Mike appears to be McGee.

    Kevin Willard and Rick Pitino

    I agree, until the investigation is finalized no one knows anything even Pitino. Now if you go by what we already know Pitino isn't going anywhere. All we found out yesterday is why the school officials imposed the post season ban. We also learned the NCAA is trying to verify the money in...

    McGee has surfaced but embarrassing

    The most important thing to me was this an institutional or individual issue? Everything points to an individual making poor choices which can't be controlled no matter how hard people try. Louisville had to pay the price for those choice. That is how it should be because at the end of the...
