Change recruiting strategy and stop depending wholly on one and dones. Give some playing time to the other players so they don’t leave. We’re the only program that has to rebuild our roster every year. It’s not rocket science.

The one and done strategy would have worked if we landed Cade Cunningham. It doesn't work when we have to rely on a second and third tier McDonalds All Americans.

They could be a 16-seed, they were still making the tournament. Please stop saying we missed the tournament two years in a row...
I’ll simplify it even further for your apparently soft brain. We will not PLAY in two straight tournaments, period. The point is we will go two years without being able to see the team play in March Madness. Do you feel better now?

JFC we are so poorly coached. When UK throws an entry pass to the post, ND doubles down and UK has 4 guys on the opposite side of the court leaving Sarr no kickout. Mintz recognizes and tries to get balance by rotating from one side to the other. I’m going with thanks to Creighton and not Cal.

If the announcer tells us Mintz can shoot it on more time
He COULD shoot the ball before he and all the other players were completely robbed of all confidence. You would have to be someone from an abusive family to not be impacted by Kentucky's game day experience.

I get why that bums you out.. but you keep insinuating its because of something we did wrong.

351 teams didn't make the tournament last year.

Keep it in context, please.

Sounds like the general consensus is that the OAD has run its course for us a fan base. I could not agree more. Hard to get engaged w a brand new, disorganized squad every damn year. The biggest prob, however, is that we don’t really have old school OAD’s any more. Not a single freshman on this squad is a true OAD, yet many will prob leave after one season.

Which we haven’t been getting the last few years. Duke has gotten those guys and they have NOT won any titles.
