No. It's TERRIBLE. Like hard to watch because it's so awkward. Their fans may be great but those guys are terrible. The spin around doing spirit fingers in those all white clothes every 5 minutes. My first experience with them. So bad.

I'm assuming UT has a blast with that.

-Saturday game times...

CBS Games:
Noon
2:30p
5p
7:30p

TBS Games:
7p
9:30p

TNT Games:
6p
8:30p

I am aware this doesn't tell you which game is which, but that's what the TV schedule is.

-Speaking of UL Baseball, this reminds me of my dad's side of the family last year with the Mother's Day celebration at a UL Baseball tailgate. o_O

-Speaking of people planning stuff during games, my cousin invited us to her little girl's skating party/birthday on Saturday. I'm guessing we won't be making that one.

I think K lying about Betonce being his favorite is the funniest. Clearly old white guy trying to look cool for the recruits but a good 3 years behind the times. Only 1 type of music for coach k - polka.

We can talk about matchups, seeds, getting screwed by the committee, etc., but if we don't start guarding people, we're not making a run.

Our defensive efficiency is 70th in the country. The worst defensive rating of Cal's Final Four teams heading into the NCAAT was 35th.

And only 1 NCAA champ since 2002 (when KenPom started) was ranked worse than 50th entering the Tournament: Duke last year was 57th. The average ranking of the eventual champion was 19th.

Not that this team is supposed to win it all or anything, but with that offense, they'd be lethal if they could get some stops.



While he was not alone, junior forward Derek Willis was one of the main culprits this weekend. The 6-foot-9 Bullitt East High alum has earned playing time for his rebounding and 3-point shooting prowess – he sank the go-ahead 3 with 59 seconds left in Sunday’s overtime win over Texas A&M – but defense is a concern.

"He was awful defensively. Oh, he was pitiful," said Calipari, who said he trusts him completely on offense "but he couldn't guard anybody."

By his own estimation, Willis gave up “probably 20-plus points” by not moving his feet, or leaving them, and letting the Aggies blow by or rise up for easy buckets.

That photo of MKG smiling and clapping while playing D against Tennessee is one of my favorite UK photos of all time. Hopefully someone has it saved and can post it.

As long as Willis is on the floor I love Briscoe's game. Dude is a tank...230lb guard that finishes as well down low as anyone I've seen here and a sneaky good handle. Such a unique player...love seeing him down low fighting for boards because our bigs are poosies. Whenever his shot develops to 30% + from deep the dude is going to be an absolute force.

Speaking of improving your shot. What's the biggest improvement from 3 from one year to the next in the last 25 years? Bogans after he had that down year? Rekalin Sims because he never missed a shot. Fitch? Seems like his shot developed quite a bit in his years here. Feel like 73 will nail this one...

On the TV times, I think the late game on Thurs/Fri can only play the middle or later games on the following Sat/Sun. This is only thinking these decisions are based in sound logic and I fully expect the NCAA committee to have a bylaw that states the above to be true except for John Calipari led team.

I'm assuming we'll be the CBS 7:30 primetime game. However lets not have any obnoxious let-downs, not to mention a 5 loses to a 12 pretty much every year and Maryland and Indiana are the two worst 5 seeds IMO.

Was restless last night, so I watched a good bit of the 1H of the TAMU game last night.

Skal may be the worst player in the country at guarding the high pick-and-roll. There were probably 6-7 straight possessions in which TAMU ran a pick-and-roll for Caruso and Skal barely left the "SEC" logo in the lane. Another gem was when House came off a double screen to the top of the key, and Skal just sat flat-footed instead of putting a hand up on a shooter (yes, he drilled the shot).

While Willis is guilty of being terrible on defense from time-to-time, I couldn't get over just how bad Skal is...o_O

I've got an excel spreadsheet (from CBS, not the Beans) with the tip times for the whole tournament if anyone wants it. I'm sure it's online somewhere, but I like the format of this document.

My boy Mitch with some girl slapping of the NCAA Selection committee. :smiley:

I do like the idea he is proposing though. 95% of the field that has no idea where they're going. Just knowing where you are playing more than 5 days ahead of time would only help attendance. Get the old guys with grudges out of it and use the formula.

Disgusting people. Mid 50's-60's. Fat. Sloppy. Blood skin stains all over their arms. Chain smoking. Shooting tequila. Loud. Obnoxious. No thanks. You can be a Tennessee fan. I'm responsible for over a hundred good nature, hard working, salt of the earth people. I grew up in Fairdale/Shively. This wasn't BJW. This was pure white trash.

I'm guessing either Ohio or Grayson County.

Our D isn't good in several of the lineups but allowing second/third/fourth chance possessions is killer.

Big physical wings have crushed us all year. Moore, Selden, House, Jones. Way more than any big guy.

So what is Cal's defensive tweak? Because we sure as hell need one.

We get one defensive rebound up 7 or 5 or whatever that stretch was when A&M came back and we ice that game in regulation.

agreed, but sometimes the way we play defense is dictated by our foul situation.

^^ I think he went opposite and told AP/LEE/Skal to stop being aggressive on D and boards so they can stay on the floor.

That is too much to ask for from our bigs.

Backcourt that can beat anyone and front court that can get us beat by anyone. Sigh.

Bilas picking Stony Brook?

4. Kentucky will lose to Stony Brook in the first round, too

You can't blame Indiana alone for this. Stony Brook will play a role, too. Kentucky is a beast in Lexington. Outside Lexington, however, the Wildcats showcased their vulnerabilities in multiple matchups this season. I like Stony Brook because the Seawolves can spread the floor (37.5 percent from the 3-point line) and they won't back down inside (44th in offensive rebounding rate, per KenPom.com). Big win for Steve Pikiell.

One thing very noticeable yesterday from my view (a rare excellent seat for me) was that Willis' ankle is still very much bothering him. Limps a good bit at times.

You know, it's the little stuff the committee/CBS does that irks me as well. Not enough to take a team that ranked in the top 12 of virtually every subjective and objective metric, and make them a low 4 seed. They also stick us in B10 country playing a Big10 team, AND give UK, the higher seed, the late game. A freaking 940pm tip, so no chance anyone on the team gets to bed before 2am.

Those touchers do this type of crap to us every year as well. Last year, overall #1 seed and we get WVU and ND in Cleveland. Both closer than Lexington. And we get the GD 9:45 game, playing after the 3 seed. Get the late FF game as well. NCAA is a buncha whores. TV ratings over seeding.

Ah. I saw it was in an Insider column and assumed Bilas wrote it.

I get being cute and going out on a limb, but ole Myron is out there by himself.

The line has already moved from 13.5 to 14.5, so the public seems to disagree with him.
