    Jamal Murray appreciation thread....

    Best scorer Cal has had at UK, and probably best he's ever had period. Would hold almost every scoring record at UK if he stayed 4 years.

    Why No Skal or Tyler Presser?

    Skal has the most to gain by coming back, so it'd be wise of him and his camp to wait as long as possible and gather as much info as they can. Most mocks still have him in the lottery or top 20, but he needs actual info direct from NBA teams. If he came back and played up to his potential, he...

    Mulder...

    It's also annoying when people on message boards think they know more than Calipari. He was in practice every day, I think that's plenty opportunity to judge whether one is good defensively or not. If he performed well in practice, he would have gotten more opportunities in games.

    Freshman Bolden or Soph Skal?

    Skal w/o question. With an offseason to continue developing and get stronger, he could play his way into the #1 pick next year, his ceiling is still that high. If somebody needed to leave for us to land Bolden, I would much rather that person be Lee than Skal.

    Spike Albrecht

    We need a knock down shooter. Monk and Fox are very streaky, Brickscoe needs no explanation. Willis is the only real dependable outside shooter on the roster.

    Ulis to Bam for the Jam!!!

    Would be a mistake on Ulis' part. The 2017 draft class will be absolutely loaded, and this years class is considerably weaker. The only thing he could do to improve is grow taller, and that's not happening. He's played himself into the first round with a slim, outside shot at a late lottery...

    Mike DeCourcy on the Leach Report said Kentucky would have a case for a 2 seed if they win the SEC t

    Don't care about the seed as much as getting in the South region. We've seen all year long how much playing in front of a home crowd has helped this team, and being in Louisville would be a big advantage.

    Briscoe has double digit shot attempts last three games

    There's not one time that Briscoe shoots a jumper that I think it's going in. He has no feel on his jump shot, and they're often off line giving them 0 chance to go in. I can't recall the last UK guard who was this bad of a perimeter shooter, 15% from 3. You can pull somebody off the street and...

    Allen for Duke trips another player...no foul called

    Should be suspended for 1 game.

    ***DUKE VS FLORIDA STATE GAMEDAY THREAD***

    He should be suspended for 1 game. One time, and it can be considered a mistake in the heat of the moment. Two times, and it's becoming a pattern of behavior that deserves punishment.

    Lamb or Murray who is better.

    I never said a role player couldn't be a starter. Keith Bogans started numerous games for the Bulls/Nets, but was never depended on to be a major contributor. I'm just saying you don't depend or rely on role players to be a major contributor. Doron Lamb was expected to be a major contributor and...

    Lamb or Murray who is better.

    Murray is definitely the better individual player, but that doesn't take away from Lamb. Doron Lamb was absolutely not a "role player". We don't win the championship w/o him. 22 points against Kansas is a role player? Come on. He was the 2nd leading scorer on the team, 3rd in minutes per game...

    Joe Lunardi’s Updated Bracketology

    I agree. Villanova, Big12 winner if Kansas/Oklahoma, Big10 winner if Iowa/MSU/MD, and ACC winner if UNC/UVa/Miami look to have the best shot at 1 seeds right now. A lot of those teams have to play each other and have tough remaining schedules, so if we're able to continue cruising along there's...

    #3, #4, #5, and #15 upset

    Very good chance we climb into top 10 with wins tonight and Saturday. Puts us in the conversation for the last 2 seed.

    Cats still in the hunt for a 2 seed?

    A 2 is possible if we win out and a few teams ahead of us flame out. I think a 3 is the most likely scenario at this point if we take care of business. The game Saturday and @Vandy will be tough. @Florida doesn't worry me, and I don't think there's a team in college basketball that could beat us...
