Chanting overrated is for SEC west basketball plebs. It has no place in Rupp.

Chants of "WALSH IS GAY" used to ring loudly throughout Rupp Arena. Pretty sure we're not above anything in that department.
Gonzaga is the #1 ranked Net Ranked
team. Pretty sure they're getting a #1."Overrated" is a very appropriate chant when you are beating the hell out of the #1 team in the nation. In fact, it's about the only time you should use that chant.

Welp. Never mind. Didn’t look at the NET and haven’t all year. Just saw some of Davis’ tweets. They won’t lose another one.
Culpepper on Saturday:

Culpepper has always been the best in the biz. LHL was lucky to have him as long as it did (or really, even at all).
The Lexington Herald Leader was lucky to have Merlene Davis and she was (is?) terrible.
While the death of the local newspaper is usually sad, it isn't in Lexington where the LHL is getting everything it so richly deserves for purposefully trying to piss off its readers for half a damn century.

Be great for the inaugural NET rankings to put Houston and Gonzaga on the 1 line. Gimme Houston in Kansas City, tia.
Too lazy to look up but the guys at 538 crucified this NET rating and its methodology when it first came out. Sounds like the coaches almost created the rating system and it'll lead to even worse seeding than the RPI.
I think we should just let the good folks at The Athletic seed all of the teams. None of their writers have ever been wrong on anything else so this should be a breeze.
PREEMPTIVE Congrats to Cal and UK on their 11 seed out west.

I mean, there's a provision in the formula that a loss by 8 points or less is more valuable than a 10 point loss. So Buzz Williams couple weeks ago didn't foul down 7 late for fear of losing points in the NET rating. [laughing]
Nerds are going to ruin basketball like they did baseball.
Everyone was all about the baseball analytics until they showed the lack of value given to long term mega contracts... now they want those nerds to zip it.
-i don't know ucl, offensive efficiency is a pretty telling stat. Don't know how I could form an opinion without it, tbh.
Basketball is definitely going down the baseball road. Just like baseball is full of home run hitters swinging at everything, basketball is getting ready to be guys jacking up 50 3s a game. Really going to help watchability imo
Nah... too many variables in college basketball. The way they can ruin college basketball is to appoint people who probably don't watch a lot of college basketball to seed the teams (oh crap). I think they ought to let Vegas seed the teams.
If you look at body of work plus how teams are performing now, it should be:
- Duke
- Virginia
- Kentucky
- Tennessee
- Gonzaga
* Stat nerds are largely to "blame" for the resurgence of the NBA. The spacing, the 3-point shooting, the ball movement, the high scoring offenses....
….we could only pray that ignorance one day permeates the college ranks.
* Everything I've said about MLB free agency for the past 15+ years is finally coming to fruition.
* Criticize the LHL and traditional print media all you want, but it is nice to read a column that that uses proper grammar, fact-checking, punctuation, etc. Like, they actually give a damn if it's professionally written.
* Hanging out with drxman is something else, I'll tell you what. :joy:
He's basically a mid-40s Beavis and Butthead extra. One of a freaking kind, man.
* Attending the Jameson Bartender's Ball this evening. This ought to be some kind of **** show.
* Need to pick up E&O insurance. Help?
* Also need some Monday afternoon entertainment from krazykats. Help?
* Weekend was awesome, thanks to many. Stayed with my parents Thursday night, and got in a 6am crossfit-like workout with my mom in the morning. Afternoon run in Louisville with a gal pal in Cherokee park, and evening yoga at Distillery Commons with bellydancer's wife. Evening brewskies with the BBdKs and bellydancers (O'Shea's/Ciao). Met Euge's new little gangster Saturday afternoon and took in the sights and sounds of campus by way of an 8-mile run, and crushed the pre and post-game at the Hyatt with the Schems and others. What a time, people. And thank you. :raised_hands::raised_hands:

If you're exercising 3 times a day while on vacation, you're a loser.
If you refer to a long weekend in Kentucky as a "vacation," you're a loser.
Go listen to any college basketball podcast. They already have. Norlander and Parrish...[sick]
Saw "The Lego Movie 2" with the churrin this weekend and we all agreed - it kind of sucked.
That list rankling the last 25 national champions is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. 1996 UK #9? And the reason is that "they only played 4 ranked teams all year?" If the 1996 Bulls would've had UK's schedule they also would have only played 4 ranked teams all year, and they still would have been the best team in the country by a mile. Odds that nerd was even alive in 1996?
Good Lord sportswriters are awful.

There were four SEC teams in the Sweet 16 that year. This is what happens when millennial dipshits write retrospectives about teams they’ve never seen play.
Thoughts on being a 1v2:
Looking right now, I’d say the 4s (Nova, Texas Tech, Purdue, Nevada) may be more dangerous than the 3s (Houston, LSU, Kansas, Marquette).

Too much “have a take,” too little “don’t suck” in the sportswriter universe.
Sportswriters are worse than Hitler imo
I'm pretty sure I could beat the average college hoops scribe in basketball.
