I said Texas had a decent chance of beating Gonzaga. A first 4 team makes the sweet 16 nearly every year it seems.
Vandy playing a road game.

Now we need the University of Orlando Tubby Smith (aka High Point) send the Hogs off to slaughter. Let the Arkansas fans feel what we've felt with CCC last few seasons.

Why didn’t we go after Sean Miller?
That would have taken some effort and actually conducting a coaching search that involved more than three guys. Pope is friends with Mark Hill, Hills kids went to BYU, they became friends with Pope. Then we got an unqualified hire. Soon to be the University of LDS.

I think that game goes one of two way. Arkansas rolls them. Or Cal gets in the way turning the game into a rock fight anybodies game last minute

Tanner great player and by all accounts a great kid as well.
Love to see him at Kentucky but my guess if he stays in College he will either stay at Vandy or go to Duke.

Just keep it close Vandy, lay the 🔨 down second half. However, Nebraska looks pretty good and definitely have the crowd advantage.

Acuff and Thomas have rounded out into the best backcourt in America.

Another example of the NCAA hating Kentucky. Arkansas has played 10 minutes and been called for zero fouls.
Cal was public enemy number 1 while at Kentucky. His new team not so much

First time I noticed that if both Florida and Vandy win they would play against each other in the Sweet 16.

That is a bad job by the committee. Those 2 high rankings SEC teams should not play each other in the Sweet 16.
They wouldn't have had the committee put some SEC teams in Duke's bracket. Same thing with the Cats. Should both them and Tennessee win they meet again next round.

Unreal how bad Wagner and edwards were compared to Thomas and acuff.
Cal wouldn't bench freshman Wagner for Dillingham, but he will bench junior Wagner for Acuff. I guess he decided it was ok to take his heart after all.

Despite that they are hanging around down 30-29.

HP is only 5/17 from 3 they need to do better if they want to win.

It be a shame if Cal lost to another mid major a shame I tell you it would be.

High Point got them guts

Still zero fouls with 4:30 left

Might have something to do with 65% of their shots coming from 3

Really Something else that Calipari finally changed his ways after leaving Kentucky, unfortunate for us but it's whatever I guess. Barnhardt wouldn't commit to NIL money, and Calipari said C YA Barney.

Even if he’s changed his ways, he’s still only up 4 points to a 12 seed. Even though I hated the way Calipari left, knowing that Mitch Barnhart had a hand in assisting in his last few years of mediocrity, the man is washed. I wish he would’ve just been promoted to our AD. He’d sure as hell do much better than Mitch.

WTF that was not called ? I swear I just seen Brazil with 1 foot still on the court tap the ball inbounds after the basket.

There is no way that can't be called. I seen we got called for something like that in the Vandy game.

Only thing I really miss is the recruiting.
