It's strange - for any other player, getting ten assists (or more) would be headline news. I almost expect it out of Ulis now. It's almost a bigger lock than Murray not passing on a 2-on-1.

Jamal Murray with 14 shots last night for his 23. KSR spent half the show today trying to figure out why Jamal Murray has been flying under the radar all year from a historic perspective. He's putting up historic numbers, but his year hasn't been talked about as one of the great seasons for a Kentucky player. The reason is because BBN knows a chucker when it sees one. We know efficiency. Certainly better than the average fan. We know when you're rising and firing at will as Ohio State smokes us and when you're dissecting an opponent and making their life hell.
He's getting all the recognition he deserves over the last few weeks because he's only been doing it for the last few weeks.

We have been way too hard on Murray, he's a frosh and putting up historic numbers, we are spoiled.
JRow is young, energetic, and crushes the football info, but my god he's embarrassing in basketball.
His little bout with Dauster the other night was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen on Twitter. No clue why he constantly tries to interject himself in the big boy conversations, he looks like a fool each & every time. Those guys pretty much ganged up & just kept clowning him...and it was much deserved.

We'd be talking about Murray more if it weren't for the ridiculousness of TYLER THE CREATOR AKA DA POINT GOD. His brilliance makes everything else look pedestrian in comparison.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. 23 points on 14 shots is good.
Murray's been good all year and has finally figured it out and is great. He does deserve more credit. Ulis is stealing it all right now, though- deservedly.
I like Tom Izzo as much as anyone, but the whole "it's March, it's Tom Izzo time." And I guess for March only, he's pretty good, but damn, when it's the Final Four (or April), he has been awful. Since winning the title 15 years ago, he is 1-5 in the Final Four and four of the losses have been by 16 points or more - the only loss less than that was to Butler in 2010.
* Trying to figure out a way we could face Indiana in the YUM!!! Center. If they're an 8 and we're a 4, or if they're a 7 and we're a 3, we could see them in the Sweet 16. Could you imagine.
* There are 4 players on this team who have played in all 28 games this year. They are...
His main problem, not uncommon among scribes (TM - Mark Coomes), is that he NEVER admits when he's wrong. He's literally incapable of it. "Of course I think Nerlens Noel was a better offensive player than Anthony Davis. Noel. Noel scored 13 against Vandy. Davis only had 12. Sorry you don't understand math."

I'll tell you who I'd like to give a shout out to, is girl at the office that wears a low cut blouse. I'm not talking about stripper shirt, nipples hanging out. But a shirt or blouse that shows a little cleavage.
The kind where you can really see what's under the hood when they bend over. Makes the day go faster.
I'll tell you what chaps my *** though, it's pouring down rain and I have to park 100 Yards away, as the "employee of the month" spot is open. Employee of the month spots are stupid as hell. Bet Chad and sae even like employee of the month spots, if that tells you anything.

He's saying that the reason Murray hasn't been getting as much recognition until recently is because he wasn't nearly as efficient earlier in the season. Which is absolutely true. The progress he has made with shot selection and working within the flow of the offense has been staggering.
I'm saying it's good. If you look at his shot attempts and his overall efficiency during the first couple of months versus lately, he's a completely different player. Especially in our worst losses, he was taking 23-24 shots sometimes. Also, from the start of the season through the Auburn game, he was averaging 3 turnovers a game, mainly playing off the ball, and that includes the early season games where defenses shouldn't have been as good.
From the first Tennessee game to the present? He's averaging 1.5 TO's per game. Literally cut them in half while raising his scoring. His scoring from beginning of the year to Auburn: 17.7ppg. From first Tennessee until now, it's 25.4ppg. He's become twice as efficient while scoring about 8ppg more. That shouldn't really be possible. That's ridiculous.
It's easy to focus on Murray's point totals because they're phenomenal, but while his scoring has gone up, it's how he's done it that has been most important. Fewer turnovers, higher shooting percentages, all while scoring more.

Yeah, don't know the exact numbers, but if you are Lexington School or Sayre, bout a 50/50 chance you are going to a boarding school. I guess a decent % of LTMS (or whatever it's called) as well. Rationale is pretty simple of course. Odds of getting into an Ivy or top 25 school from one of the boarding schools is much better than from HC, Dunbar, TC or Lex Cath.
Problem of course is that if your dumbass teenager gets busted with some booze or weed at home, they get grounded. If they get busted at boarding school, they get kicked out.
Murray was a bit of a chucker early in the year (especially in some of UK's bad games), but in general, his efficiency is on par with those that put up his numbers...lots of guys who scored lots of points took a lot of shots. But Murray's last 10 game run is historic and should be praised. I agree that BBN knows "basketball better than the average fan" but sometimes that superiority sees us overlooking some great performances. Even in the last few weeks, most of the conversation has been how great Ulis has been (and he has), but during those weeks Murray has been on one of the great runs of scoring and efficiency we have seen ever at this school...especially by a guard
Rowland is absolutely atrocious.
Wonder if Brett Dawson sits around in his little 1BR apt down in NOLA thinking WTF did I get myself into? Freelancing for one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA and leaving the mecca of CBB and one of the most polarizing/quotable coaches in the country. Dude *loves* the NBA so I get that is prolly his dream... but still.
Miss his stuff around here.

And he gets no play for his rebounding which is basically the same as Briscoe's. Dude is averaging 5 a game.
Say what you want about UK bball fans, but we - and I'm including BJW in this - "get it" when it comes to knowing the game and when a dude plays it the way you should. It's a borderline religious experience to watch Ulis run the point, and we'll be telling our grandkids about it with a big ****-eating grin on our faces.
Maybe it's changed, but I don't think Dawson was ever a big UK fan and certainly not a diehard. When I first met him back at the University of Kentucky, he claimed to be a North Carolina fan. He's a good journalist and all, but unlike most of the dudes who cover the Cats, I don't think he feels a big connection.
I'd say Brett is just fine covering the game and not having to pretend to care about recruiting BS.
Nothing worse than an amateurish podcast imo.
If you took two kids with the same test scores, grades, extracurriculars, etc...but one was from Snottsville Prep and the other a public high school, yeah I'd say Wellington is getting into the Ivy league. Lot to do with connections, letters of recommendation, whether parents were alums...and if they will become donors.
Murray scored a LOT of his points in garbage time earlier in the year...he'd be playing poorly but still end up with 20 points , few of which came in actual important game time in many games -- that was my biggest beef.
The box-score (18-20 points pretty much every night) didn't tell the full story with his game.
That Murray is long gone. He's awesome.

I only have one- female co-workers who don't show off dem tig ol' bitties! Know'wh'msayin? lol
Underrated in terms of getting into college/law school/etc. => being from Bumtouch, Eastern Kentucky.
Yeah, not to mention the fact that Ulis was struggling a bit with his shot AND Willis wasn't Willis yet, so all of our perimeter game fell on his shoulders.
The screen grab of UCL's "Redass, brought to you by REDASS" was only used twice this year and honestly in mid-December I wouldve thought it would need to be posted a lot more.
What a weird touching year. Players setting record numbers, a bumpkin emerging as a legit offensive option, one of the biggest busts in recruiting history, dancing man pile-driving that child, injuries in the backcourt/frontcourt/and on the wing. Mix all that in a big ol pot with the scuttlebutt down the road and this year has flown by in the blink of an eye.
