is getting one of the biggest layups in March I have ever seen. Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Vandy, Hawaii and now they are gonna get High Point. The SEC and NCAA tournament are useless at determining and rewarding the best team.
Not like Cal didn’t have numerous opportunities his last couple years here of having a bracket fall apart. He never was able to take advantage of it.

Here is the thing. If Cal was at UK this wouldn't be the path. Also if Cal was at UK we would blow it to High Point

If we had taken care of business we could have been that 3 seed. We didn't.
They didn't take care of business either, 1 game separated us from a 4 seed and they lost to us at home. From the start of the SEC tournament all the way to the sweet 16 their path is Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Vandy, Hawaii and High Point. Not even 1 seeds get that path.

At this point I expect the r32 matchup to be between 9 and 16 to play Arkansas

High Point will give that team a run, exactly the mid major CCC doesn't wanna see 🤣🤣

I think so too. As I said Cal has choked away easy paths before.

I do think this is probably Cals best team since 2019 UK potentially. Not saying a ton but Acuff is a genuine stud. Cal usually does solid when he has a legit stud freshmen.

Why in the hell are you guys? So jealous of Arkansas? They did a favor by taking Cal, then we beat them this year at their place with a very average team. I could not care less about them or Cal. It appears that you guys now despise them as much as we despise Tennessee. They haven’t won anything since 1994. I think it’s Tennessee and Florida that are big rivals now and you might add Alabama to that. I say quit talking about him and leave him alone. They i’m not gonna post a threat to us in the long run trust me.

Good Lord, UK has become such an embarrassment all our fans can talk about is Cal and Arky

Arky SOS is 10th in Kenpom. UK is 6th. I'm not sure the argument that they played no one is going to land.
"This just in, UK fans talk about things related to UK basketball." Calipari is whether you like it or not. Everytime the national media talks about Arkansas or Calipari, Kentucky is also mentioned. It is and will be used against us.

How is him coaching at Arky related to UK?

Any real UK fan isn't going to try to diminish arguably our strongest win of the season. Which is what morons who try to diminish them/Cal at every opportunity are doing.

To be fair, all sec schedules are not created equal and we played a much more difficult conference schedule than they did.
The whole SEC schedule was pretty easy.

For everyone.

One above average team in Fl that will be lucky to make the second weekend.

7 decent teams and 8 bottom dwellers.

Arkansas is getting the motivated Cal. What UK got and had until about 5 or 6 years ago.
Not really. Calipari got to combine UKs roster and recruits with Arkansas roster and recruits. Then he still had time to hit the portal. The move combined 2 rosters because he took everyone from UK with him. He was able to return Richmond, Knox, Wagner and Brazille to this team. He was able to return those guys because besides the tournament they stank most of the year barely making the field.

He will never have another roster like this .

Well when you play well in the regular season and get high seeds sometimes it works out that way.

You know we could have just beaten UGA Mizzou and Auburn (not even counting stuff like UNC and TAMU) and maybe we'd have the same luck no?

good job addressing an argument that wasn’t even made. Joined just for that. compare the conference schedules. The conversation was about the conference schedule. Stay on topic. Y’all had a cake walk of a conference schedule compared what UK and a few other teams had to play.
That’s fine though. Talk your **** while you can. Clocks ticking

Wasting your time. Look at the join date. Not sure why they try to pass themselves off as UK fans.

Acuff should be in the discussion for the #1 pick. He honestly might be John’s 3rd or 4th best PG behind DRose, Wall and maybe Fox.

I actually think he’s better as a college player than any of them sans maybe Rose. But credit to Cal he has also evolved his offensive philosophies a bit the last few years and Acuff is benefitting from it.

I thought the Rainbows offense would be more volcanic that it has been today, quite frankly.

True. We did have the 2nd hardest sec schedule whereas Arkansas had the 13th so there’s that . But losses at home to Georgia,Mizzu, and at Auburn are inexcusable. We got what we deserved.

Absolutely. But i’ll never not point out the scheduling impact when rival fans try to beat their chest about conference accomplishments. It’s become a joke.

Oh, my. A lot of aggression and inaccurate statements in that, bud.

I joined 2 days ago, this thread was started today. And not by me. So that logic doesn't work.

If overall strength of schedules are 4 spots apart, how apart are you alleging the conference schedules are? What were they ranked for each team?

Who is ya'll?

Who is talking out of their ***?

What clock?

I hope that one guy goes Gohlke 2.0

If it was Calipari at UK, he would have no clue the guy only shot 3 pointers.

He’s finally coaching like he cares again. Makes me sick. He hasn’t even prepared for teams like this that well in years. Now he’s done it two years in a row. Bastard.

The SEC seeding is based off of conference schedule which Kentucky had a much harder schedule (and just barely missed out on a 4 seed) the conference seeding then allowed Arkansas to have a very easy schedule to the championship, winning that also helped their NCAA seed, which was also helped by their easier conf. schedule which gave them again very easy opponents in the NCAA tourny. It's A->B->C logic.
