I agree the billyjoewildcats of the world cant stop complaining.
My Concerns With Milan in the SEC
- Thread starter CatManFromCa
- Start date
Dude, he was in the Big 12 not the MAC.
We have some of the most obvious and poorly thinking trolls on this board.
Do better.
Do better.
I’ll take a 49% three point guy no matter what the concerns are on defense. My one and only concern at this point is analytics in general.
What. No it wasn't. And all you did was point out ONE Big 12 team was better than ONE SEC team..........in ONE game lol
This is a hit and run thread. You know he made his post and then you don't hear from him again.
You worry too much. He’s an NBA type talent coming from a tough league and tough minded coach
Like most here, I do think the OP is trolling or just being ridiculous. However, I do think there is an adjustment coming to the SEC. Not because the SEC is better, but because the officiating is piss poor. But that goes for any player not just Milan.
I'd just like some consistency. Very annoying when the rulebook seems to change from game to game depending on who's officiating
When my Dad was still with us I used to go watch the 6:00 weekday games with him. After I would head home and watch the game after. Believe it was usually ACC. Felt like I had watched two different sports.
Texas Tech and Houston are about as physical as it gets. They don't play around. Hell, so is Iowa St. The SEC is just an odd league from an officiating perspective. There's a lot of coloring outside of the lines with certain crews.
The Big 12 has lots of talent, has good coaches, and they get after it. The SEC is no cakewalk either, especially as Kentucky on the road. There's no easy roads in the NIL era.

Yeah I mean, we’ll see. You don’t see too many unathletic guys excel in the SEC, but considering Milan had arguably the greatest 3pt shooting season of all time last year, it’s also fair to say you don’t see too many guys like him in the SEC in general. Part of the responsibility is on Pope and the staff to work around those issues and get the most out of him. And for Milan’s part, his height and footwork have to carry him. Jokic, Doncic, and Andre Miller come to mind as guys who have done well despite their lack of athleticism.
Did you watch Iowa St play last year? Milan will be fine. SEC is not the only physical conference in the country.
Milan was the best 3 point shooter in college last year meaning every team knew that coming in and nobody stopped him. I’m not worried about him, he will do fine.
Agreed. And I'd go so far as to say the rulebook seems to change from half to half.
The Big12 is BY FAR the most physical basketball conference.. look it up.. Not sure if SEC would even be top 5 due to the Big East ..
From AI
Big 12 is widely recognized as the most physical and bruising college basketball conference. Known for its aggressive defensive schemes, suffocating play at the rim, and relentless pace, the league consistently dictates a grueling style of basketball that mirrors tournament-level intensity. [1, 2, 3]
While several conferences feature distinct brands of play, the Big 12's heavy emphasis on physicality sets the standard:
Big East more physical than the SEC???
AHA! Caught you, John Fanta! I knew it was you!!!
(joking’ witcha)
My fear is him or another good player gets hurt. We have been snake bitten the last two years with injo
+1
Remember the old alt.sports.college.sec.kentucky on Usenet? Rafters puts Hillbilly and King Ghidorah to shame. @Pidgie also remembers.
God I hope Pope puts a emphasis on defense, but as it is we need to score in bunches and hope to get enough stops.
Having this guy that can light it up will help.
Man if Pope gets our guys to play some insane defense we could cut them down at the end of the year. But that is a MAJOR IF, he seems like Cal on free throws - they will make them when it counts (and many times they just DID NOT).

Lifetime ago. I'm still in contact with a couple users.
I agree and think MM will be just fine because as you said the Big 12 is tough and right there with the SEC or even better .
The SEC appears to be stacked again this year so definitely some tough sledding but MM should light it up for us.
Yep and now he wont be able to score either because the Big 12 is on par with D2 competition.
Not to mention the first 2 draft picks this year will be Big 12 guys. I love the SEC too but come on we are really grasping at straws to tear the commitment down and trash the excitement.
He very well may not be a great pro down the road but he is a stud for CBB and that's all I really care about personally.
He definitely wont get a great whistle for us like he probably did in the Big 12 . Just the way it is with some of these refs we have.
The King was wanting to come to Louisville and whip me.....I was and always have been 100% behind the coach on the bench.......I pull for him with every fiber and refuse to disparage them..........It has been while but I think he didn't like my backing Tubby.........funny stuff.......same old, same old!
There was a person who used the moniker of The Dude, on there..........I remember him living in maybe St. Louis.......I aways thought it was you........... (loud buzzer)
And Houston alone accounts for a good portion of this. Because NOBODY plays more intense physical defense than the Cougars year after year. Ferocious D is Kelvin Sampson’s whole schtick.
If Milan could handle Houston’s D then he ain’t gonna have any problem with the SEC’s.
I never lived in STL, but back then I was in Chicago, then SoCal. I don't think I picked up "The Dude" until early 200s though.
LOL "here's these metrics to ignore the success of the Big 12 compared to the SEC. Overlook the lack of SEC tourney success and that Arizona, Houston and Iowa State were all better."
