    Now I understand the Big East Love

    I don't think the cap is 22% of that specific schools revenue. I think it's 22% of average for all Power Conference school revenue. That number is 20.5 million dollars, and it's applied flatly across the board. So the SEC, BIG10, ACC, BIG12 revenues will set the cap. The P4 conferences, except...

    Which 5 ex UK players that you saw play at UK, in your opinion has had the best professional careers?

    Almost completely off topic. I saw Kenny Walker do some dunks during halftime of a senior barnstorming game. Somehow threw it off the back wall of the gym and power it down. I told everyone he was going to win the slam dunk competition that weekend he was entered. Him and Wall are 1, 2 in...

    2026 NCAA Tournament Questions

    Greenville games are Thursday. St Louis on Friday. Seeing as how we have so many who make the SEC Tourney a few days earlier a vacation, I would think a Thursday turn around farther away would lead to less travel. Fans from Paducah, Owensboro, Bowling Green and Louisville can leave home on...

    Quaintance moving around nicely

    Guys, he's an 18 year old, in shape, athlete. You're all middle aged or worse fattys who were never in shape in your life. You may need the Jaws of life to get off the couch. He can walk in slides or absorb the impact of a 30 pound bag of bones running top end 2 mph.

    Anybody that questions Amaris rebounding is an idiot.

    What's up with Tre Mitchell saying Lville

    I question Kentucky fandom of anyone who immediately defaults to accepting Kentucky player of saying this from a Louisville player. Mods, please ban obvious Louisville fan troll who is insulting a former Kentucky wildcat. Everyone should put him on ignore.

    ESPN personality Evan Cohen on Cal and Knicks

    Nba is less impressed with his basketball philosophy than we were. The league is all about 3s and analytics now and he hasn't evolved. Still a very good college coach because he can get and develop talent.

    On This Day In 1989, Kentucky Hired Rick Pitino.

    Yep. And its not just the fans. Our athletic director panics too. Not to relitigate, but he didn't want to wait couple week for Billy Donovan. Which fine, given history. But also couldn't wait a week for Tom Izzo so moved on to BillyG? Annoying part of the off season carousel now. It's the most...

    Who is our backup PG?

    Yeah. Weird. Like when Travis Ford was suspended for one game in 94. And instead of starting the backup point guard, he started 3rd team shooting guard Chris Harrison instead. Or that Epps, who led the team in assists, did rightfully start 6 games in 1984-95 over Jeff Sheppard. But only in...

    “A skilled Dennis Rodman”

    Lol. Absolutely not. He had no skill on offense. Couldn't dribble. Couldn't shoot. 23% 3 point shooting isn't good, no matter what position you play. You don't get brownie points for being the tallest midget, and 23% isn't that great among power forwards then. Also, shot less than 60% from free...

    Shrinkage

    It shrinks? Like a frightened turtle! He could still grow. You know he was only 17 last season.

    Mavericks win draft lottery/Flagg

    You have to be a special kind of stupid to think the NBA lottery is rigged. Especially if you use Ewing and the Knicks as evidence. Ok, the New York franchise is so important that the NBA desperately wants them to have first pick. And they haven't had it again, or anything close to it, in 40...

    Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It

    Old news. In that, this has happened so many times. Every year somebody would have an injury or coaching change or parent pass away. There'd be a sob story how they couldn't get extra year, there be an appeal, and they'd get it back. It may even be the NCAA procedure. Deny initially and it has...
