    UK and Florida will play twice next season

    I like the revenge factor for Aberdeen. Interestingly the two players who I think will be the best players in the game (JQ and Fland) you have losing their matchup. And that isn’t a criticism, I understand your reasoning for both. More just an acknowledgement that it should be a great matchup...

    UK and Florida will play twice next season

    The schedules can never be balanced without either adding games (likely to happen but not enough to play everyone twice) or making conferences smaller (not happening, if anything the SEC will get bigger). UK is always going to play the conference’s best teams twice, and on balance I much prefer...

    UNC Coming to RUPP! (ACC/SEC Challenge)

    Done deal: Judge approves House Settlement

    Not a math guy but I think whatever’s left after a 50/50 split is 0

    Tom Thibodeau fired. Do the Knicks go after Dan Hurley?

    I'm curious if Golden will get a look. His style seems suited for the NBA and his demeanor is definitely a better fit than Hurley. When his new contract was published it was pointed out there's a lower buyout if he leaves for an NBA job than another college job, which suggests he's interested...

    Mark Story's Article in LHL today suggests.....

    Not concerned. I think Pope's system means his teams will have a baseline offensive efficiency that automatically makes it "good enough." And our roster isn't a bunch of bumbling muscle men, we have plenty of skill. TeamRankings says we were 4th in scoring offense and 16th in offensive...

    OT: Fixing the NBA

    Impressive he even took the time to remove his chest tattoo for the costume

    OT: Fixing the NBA

    This reminds me of an idea I heard (Malcolm Gladwell on the BS Pod, I think it was during the last offseason) where each home team has some flexibility in their court design, like how each MLB stadium is a little different. For example a team that wants to slow down the game might narrow and...

    Offseason Complete- Grade Mark Pope

    A+ Brought in high end talent (that address deficiencies from year 1) and more of it than I would expect the recruits themselves to tolerate in terms of minutes splits. Re-connected with former players from the Cal years that fans still love and want around. Did long form interviews with local...

    Oweh update

    I think this is the right analysis. He’s a likable, high character guy. Meet the GMs, scouts, etc and next year when they’re watching cbb prospects and they see his game it might slightly color their analysis of him, give him the benefit of the doubt, etc. Smart move for a fringe guy. And...

    Oweh update

    I read Jamir Watkins and thought of Kareem Watkins… was like why the hell would we call Kareem Watkins to replace Oweh??

    Oweh update

    The interesting thing about him is even though he averaged the most ppg and was the most consistent player on last year’s team, he was rarely the first option, with the exception of the Oklahoma games and maybe a couple others when injuries limited us. I would say Robinson and Butler were most...

    Oweh update

    Somewhat related, Yaxel Lendebourg appears likely to stay in the draft, at least based on this Instagram post he made:

    Coward to stay in draft, forgo Duke season.

    I was hopeful we'd get matched up with Duke in the ACC Challenge but MJ said he heard that's unlikely. I think they pair UK/Duke/UNC with good teams that don't necessarily draw big ratings to get more viewers over the course of the event. Makes sense for them but a bummer we don't get the...
