Nothing better than burnt bird. Well done
Down goes Louisville
- Thread starter BigBlueGuru
- Start date
I kinda wonder if Kelsey is gonna have to “put up or shut up” next year. He’s not exactly been impressive at Louisville. And they haven’t exactly been recruiting that great either.
I doubt it. They were rolling until injuries. He’s probably safe, even if fans are frustrated
Does that last dunk get the same scrutiny as Aberdeen’s?
I'm pleased. Said this recently but they're in the same boat as us. Neither got a homerun hire. We were better last year and they were better this year but it isn't like one has been much better than the other and both fanbases aren't exactly thrilled with either coach. Year three is going to be massive for both programs.
They have no recruits and only 3 guys from the rotation are eligible to return. Pat sucks too. Tough scenes
It's make or break for both UK and UL coaches next season IMO.
I think Brown did them dirty, but always LOVE seeing them go down!
The difference is Pope recruited with the intention of guys staying multiple years this past offseason. We’ll have a solid core return. Pat went all in with guys on their last year of eligibility again. Wooley, Rooths, and Zougris are their only likely returners and none of them are any good
I mean I just laughed when people kept saying “lousville hired a good one”. People said the same thing about Payne here. Never understood it. Louisville midget is mid and will always be mid. But they’re not elite, they’ll give him 7 with how decent he’s done by their modern standards.
Problem is I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to beat Pope routinely.
No he won’t lol. Only reason they won this year was the game happened the 2nd week of the season, and even then they almost blew it
Today makes 20 losses in two seasons, it’s not terrible and not good but Louisville has played in a much easier conference. With all these guys, it’s gonna be about recruiting and roster construction and I hope he fails miserably.
Yeah, he’s 51-19……29-9 in conference. It’s Louisville for crying out loud. What do they expect?
Sparty up Izzo to the final four. Frick Louisville frick UConn frick Duke
I don’t think posting the record tells the whole story. Kelsey’s first year was a big success even though they lost a lot of games. This year, they were very good (but not elite) before injuries derailed them. No reasonable Louisville fan would want Kelsey gone. He’s doing a good job there.
You know what’s you’re getting when you sell your program’s soul to these high school kids. See Kansas. I hope IF we get Stokes it’s not a carbon copy (or worse) of what Peterson and Brown put their teams, fans through.
The midget’s tenure has been quite the failure based on their fans expectations. Wonder how hot his seat is?
How many of them you reckon there are? I've never seen one.
In seasons where both teams make the NCAA tournament, Louisville hasn’t advanced further than Kentucky since 2008
Sounds familiar. Feel the same way about Pope.
Do we want a core of these guys back? I don’t.
I want Kam-Moreno-Colin-Hawthorne-Potter back as a supporting cast. All as role players though. I’m hoping for 5 new starters personally
I went over to their forum to get a good laugh and they all seem to be accepting mediocrity, known as PK. According to them, he’s not even on the hot seat. They’re happy. My oh my, how far expectations have fallen for them. Their ultimate goal is a sweet 16. 
Poor little bros are just use to wallowing in misery, I reckon.

That leaves Kentucky as the last team standing in the state. Murray St lost to Nevada in the NIT.
Tomorrow is do or die or basketball season in the Commonwealth.
Glad UofL is out but it does show how pathetic the quality of our programs have become lately.
We need to beat ISU. Badly..

This! Not to mention, they shot the ball better that game than they did all season, or close to it anyway.
Wooley was another example of needing to hit in the portal. He was highly rated and turned out to not be great. Same with McNeely. Guy can’t guard anyone and when he’s not shooting his a liability.
Lmao this kinda thinking is wild. I do NOT want a new damn team every year. You absolutely have to have continuity and experience. Players do improve, you know.
The only one I didn’t wanna bring back was BG. However, his play as of late has changed my mind. I think he can be really good for us, especially as a senior that’s been in the program for two years already. Dude is athletic as hell for a big and can guard all 5 positions. Those guys don’t grow on trees. Hard to find.
IMHO, bring all of them back AND at 2/3 elite guys. An elite PG, stretch PF and C. A PG that can shoot and distribute. A PF that can shoot (all 3 levels), slash a little and defend at a high level. Then a C that has a post presence, block shots and rebound. That’s my take anyway.
You cannot run this team back especially without the two best players Aberdeen and Oweh. We had 13 losses, didn’t make it to the weekend of the sec tournament, and barely squeaked by a 10 seed.
No michelle brown after pk said for weeks he was so close. Louisville fans were played so hard what a bunch of pu$$ies. Kelsey is a major league pu$$y. If i had my druthers he would go crowd surfing again and theyd toss that spaz midget in the ohio with his dumb a$$ designer eye glasses

I’d like to have Moreno, BG, Kam, Lowe, and Mo D back and see what Hawthorne can do with a year of prep. Bring in another stud PG for Aberdeen/ a superstar to replace Oweh/ an NBA big man so Mo D can play PF, and some more shooting on the wing and SG.
