92-97 was pretty dope IMO.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

The frustrating part is when you have a good shooter (> 38% 3pt), you have to let them play through it. They aren’t gonna shoot 38% all the time. They will have periods of lower than that but they will have periods they are well above that. Seems like cal pulls em once they go cold and doesn’t understand they may have a stretch where they shoot 60%.

...and they almost always can't play D or rebound.

Actually 89-92 was a freaking blast if you want to talk Pitino. To go from where we were to Pitino’s Bombinos was like being let out jail after serving time for something you hadn’t done.

92-97 was pretty dope IMO.

for UK basketball and life in general, really

Andrew Harrison kinda sucked.

There, I said it.

Would you take him on this team?

The answer is YES.

The answer is YES.

I would take Ulis over him 100 times out of 100. That was actually an option once.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

We are undefeated since Ulis joined the staff. Maybe he threatened to stab Cal if he didn't pipe down or something.

 

[Mossip]

Calipari is in absolute shambles

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

The Harrisons were fine.

 

[BBdK]

Weird thing to take a stand on or argue about, imo.

Put me down for appreciating a Freshman/Soph PG helping lead us to B2B Final 4s. Don't know the list of people who've done that, but I trust it's not very long, if it even exists at all.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Shout out to Wayne Turner. What a 4-year run that dude had. Man the mid to late 90s were amazing basketball times.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Andrew Harrison has to be a historically bad shooter for a guard.

Freshman: 36.7%
Sophomore: 37.8%
NBA career: 37.3%

He got to the free thrown line a ton, but for a guy with a decent looking jumper, his inability to put the ball in the basket at a bigger clip really hurt us imho.

 

[justa]

Shootout to Saul Smith, Rashaad Carruth, Adam Williams, Michael Porter, & Kevin Galloway.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Would love to have a dawg carruth every year

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Someone who leaves after one season? I think we have that covered.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

His cousin Rae was a helluva guy. People forget that.

 

[anthonys735]

We have a dude that can't create his own shot, can't shoot off the dribble, can't hit FTs, is very short and can only go left trying to get desperation shots at the end of the clock. Of course he's going to look bad. Not dissimilar from Harrison being slow and a poor shooter. At least he could get to the line and knock them down.

We need to live and die with Wallace in crunch.

 

[bradyjames_rivals]

Every PG with a pulse is going to put up good numbers with Kat, WCS, Booker and Aaron on the floor.

He choked away the greatest season of all time. That last 3-4 minutes of the Wisconsin game was all Andrew.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Someone who leaves after one season? I think we have that covered.

I was thinking someone that wasn’t scared to shoot anytime no matter what his coach said and has the balls to bark at coach K mid game. Yes, I want that guy.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Speaking of UK basketball, I have my first colonoscopy scheduled this month. Growing old is amazing. Really looking forward to tripping over my balls.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

This team is screaming for a Hunter McClintock type of player to have the ball in his hands at the end of a game.

 

[The_Godfather_rivals]

I think an important thing to note about Cal is that it has been a very long time since he's had to manage rosters comprised of guys who are not mostly freak athletes and able to overmatch most of their opponents.

At least, not successfully so.

People mistakenly believe that Cal crushed it for his entire 9 seasons at Memphis. Not true. His 1st 5 seasons at Memphis were pretty mediocre with a 68% win % and he only made 2 NCAA tournaments (7 seed in both).

2000-01 : 21-15
2001-02 : 27-9
2002-03 : 23-7
2003-04 : 22-8
2004-05 : 22-16

Then came the 19 year age limit for the draft. Cal was able to collect elite talent and his success exploded. The next 4 seasons saw a 91% win % and either a 1 or 2 seed in each tournament.

2005-06 : 33-4
2006-07 : 33-4
2007-08 : 38-2
2008-09 : 33-4

When you add in his incredible success at UK building rosters with elite NBA ready talent up until a few years ago, it's been a long time since Cal has not had the upper hand simply based on raw talent. He continues to lean on his historic approach to running the team in terms of system, but his roster make up seems inconsistent with his history back to 2005.

As for the first part, I think everyone’s love of Doron Lamb here is well documented. James Young gave few effs also.

 

[pretzel__logic]

Hamlin waking up and writing a note asking who won is the coolest, most miraculous **** I can remember in a long time. And his fundraiser is up to $7 mil? Unbelievable.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Beard out at Texas.

ATTN: LOOKING FOR ALOOF SHARPSHOOTERS

If you’re a good outside shooter too weird to be affected by our loud coach and too detached to let our complete lack of simple basketball sets hurt your game, the University of Kentucky is the school for you! Give no F’s? Come to our school.

Notable F’d Up Success Stories Include:

Doron Lamb
James Young
Aaron Harrison
Malik Monk

That dude is waking up to an entire new life. He's easily the most popular person in the country right now and by all accounts seems like a great person. Assuming he recover, and is mentally capable, what a story this will be.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Someone will cancel him as soon as he gets out. These are Chad’s people.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

RICH2SKYPE A FOOL HE WAKE UP ENTIRE LODGE IM TEAM NO SLEEP HAVENT SLEPT IN 3 DAYS. THIS MEAL IS OD.


*Doron goes on to torch North Carolina like it’s no big deal so he can go about his way and have a nice little Saturday.*

I belive the antivax crew has already tried.

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

I mean…

 

[The_Godfather_rivals]

Cal to Texas along with the entire recruiting class less Sheppard.

He'll also run a new offense just for ***** and giggles.

 

[wcc31]

Miller coming off the bench calm as a cucumber knocking down every shot he takes.

 

[MattJones]

I will take Andrew Harrison on this team, last year’s team, the team before that and pretty much any team back to the Fox team (PG Quickley though I liked when Cal did it)

Cal played Andrew clutch minutes all the way to a championship game in 14 and undefeated to the Final Four. Could have have theoretically then set him the last 4 minutes of the Final 4 in 15 and played Ulis…yeah I guess. But if we lost, it would be the most scrutinized decision ever. I don’t think I could or would have done it

You know what I loved about Andrew, he could take it to the rim, get contact, make free throws and played tough all the time. I wish we had more of that now

And I wish we had the 2015 Cal too

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

I mean…

10 seconds before this pic is taken:

Doron - “Am I getting paid for this?”

Camera guy - “No. Say cheese!”

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

I wonder if Jimbo Fisher has offered Chris Beard a job yet

 

[UK_Dallas]

Let him go Mitch. Don't give him another dime.

^You know Cal's agent is already on line 1.

 

[VernHatton52]

Chris Beard got the UNLV job and then left for Texas Tech before ever coaching a game. He then left Texas Tech for hated rival Texas. His firing has a bit of poetic karma to it.
