Must see
Arkansas built a lot like that UK team.

Arkansas built a lot like that UK team.
This arkansas teams trajectory is almost mirroring thst UK teams exactly.
Though I think Thomas and Acuff > Lamb and Knight. Richmond and Liggins are about equal. Though Liggins was a substantially better defender and Richmond the better scorer at this point. Liggins was also a facilitator when we needed him to be.
harrelson and jones i guess would be ewin and brazille and Kentucky has a huge edge there. That Kentucky team in general was way better defensively.
The two teams played differently. Kentucky really leaned on pick n roll with Harrelson and Knight during that run and putting Liggins on the opposing teams best guard.
Also i don’t know who Arkansas 6th man is. If it’s DJ, Junior Darius Miller > Junior DJ as well.
There are only a few people obsessing over calipari. You and about 5 others. The rest know he has to go. Pitino was completely different. Pitino is a great coach who has yet to have a downward spiral like cal did at UK
Um, retard, I assumed you were talking about last season because we haven't even started play in this year's tournament. Also, what I quoted was you saying most consider last year to be a success and we only did one. No, we did both. We were a 3 seed and reached the Sweet 16, you fool.

Yep. Cal had a chance to do what we always imagined Rick would have done had he stayed here. Lead a dynasty. Stay 15+ years. Win multiple ships and his peak only last about 8 and then we werent a threat anymore.
There are signs hes adapting now. But he’s still not all the way back in the conversation along the elite. And he was given plenty of time at UK.
But he has definitely adjusted his offensive principals. Still embracing the mid range a little more than I think is wise. But it’s working for them and he at least seems to respect the 3pt shot more than he did.
Santa Clara and Iowa St aren’t murderers row.
Folks Cal is a multi FF, title winning, HOF coach and he’s now in a pay player era with Wal Mart money…
The hell did everyone expect?

Brazille is a senior I believe. Knox probably declares. I can’t believe he came back. Arkansas must recruit them back with their administration. We know Calipari would never ask anyone to come back.
I still remember the St. Peter's loss. That path to a Final Four was incredible. Cal will fail this year too.
Lmao, did you even bother to read. The post I replied to said, ARKY IS BETTER THAN THIS UK TEAM.
Did it mention anything about last year?
And you admit you assumed.
So how is anyone but you the retard here?
So last year equals this year in your world?
First year at UK, but not a first year HC. It was his 10th year as a HC.
Last year was Kevin Youngs first year as a HC and he went to the same sw16. Cal was a "first year" hc at arky if we are applying that logic. He also in the Sw16.
really good PG and beating a bunch of ****** teams to get to the sweet sixteen then losing to the first good team they play.
Again, because you are retarded, look at what you wrote. You're wrong. Last season we were a 3 seed and we reached the Sweet 16. Come on man and do better.
What’s your point?
if Cal had stayed at UK, we would’ve had different expectations last year than we did for first-year *UK* coach, Mark Pope. I wasn’t saying anything controversial there lol.
That team finished the year 5-4. Injuries decimated that team. They wasn’t going anywhere
I did, I wrote it after all. But it isn't referring to last year. We were talking about this year. Lulz. Good try, though.
The point is you were incorrect in calling Pope a first year head coach when he was coaching in his 10th season.
Second paragraph you're talking about last season. Quit with the circular arguments leadbelly
Right, but that has nothing to do with the first paragraph you referenced. Which, if you read, you would have understood we were talking about SEC seeding, and UK wasn't a 4 seed last year nor this year in the SEC.
Jesus, dude. Try reading and comprehending. It'll really help you!
.
There's a Sweet 16 in the SEC Tournament? No. I know what you're saying and you're wrong again, leadbelly
I know pooh bear, it's so hard for you! You keep working at it though, okay! You'll get there!
2/3 if his losses in the first round came at Kentucky. It’s extremely rare for him to lose those games and he lost 2 at Kentucky and 3 overall for a 19-3 record. He was never passed his prime.
PAST his prime. The word you needed to use is P A S T. And yes Cal is way past his prime.
Ok, I'll finally bite.
Arkansas knew it's SEC wasn't as strong and decided to beef up its non-confrence schedule. So they went out and scheduled Duke, Mich St, Houston, TT, and UL.
Hogs won 2-3, with it's worst losses coming from duke 9, and Houston 9. Then they follow it up with a solid SEC schedule and Tournament win. Our only bad loss this season was to KY at home.
Meanwhile, KY also decided to beef up its schedule by playing...
UL- Loss by 8
Mich St at home - 17....booty blasted
UNC at home - Loss by 3
Gonzaga Nashville - loss by 35 booooooooty blasted.
IU - win by 12
St Johns atl - Win 12. Only non-confrence decent win.
To say we had it easy, is down right ludicrous and sour grapes. How about you say this instead...if KY didn't get embarrassed at every turn. Including its 10-8 sec record, they could have gotten a top 4 seed.
