SWEET 16 THREAD 3-28

[hotelblue]

I think I’ll pop in my Blu Ray disc copy of Baylor’s last Elite Eight game - maybe MKG’s signature game.

nice. and jone’s first half. legendary effort.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

My handle is Crawfords Corner, but the Corner is actually pronounced, Smith.

 

[Indymycats]

Cal is far from the greatest but so is Jay Wright.

With that being said this is UK not UCal and I could give a **** about draft night. I want titles, period.

 

[bookerfan66]

Cal is far from the greatest but so is Jay Wright.

I would take the one with more titles but that's just me.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

In the end, it's not really just offense or just defense. The teams that win in March have a combination of both.

Yeah but through two Sweet 16 games teams are averaging 59 points. That’ll tell you which half of the combination is more critical.

 

[gracetoyou]

Terrible coaching job to get beat in a close game without your All-American PG to the 2nd best team in CBB.

No one can make any excuses for Cal. Goes 9-16 with an entirely new roster in a restricted year for COVID. But that matters not. Cal has had more tournament wins at UK than Jay could dream of.

Jay Wright in Cal/UK years:

2010: 2nd round upset

2011: 1st round upset

2012: losing season, no tourney

2013: 1st round

2014: 2nd round upset

2015: 2nd round upset

2016: National Champs

2017: 2nd round upset

2018: National Champs

2019: 2nd round

2020: COVID

2021: Sweet 16


**Take away 2016 & 2018 & that's terrible! And like I said 2016 & 2018 was due to having 4 year guys & being one of the last major schools to start having early NBA entries.

He will never sniff another championship.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

ABMAS FOR 3!!!!!!!

Neither will Cal now that he can't get the best of the best.

 

[Yardeth]

He was missing his starting point guard and co-captain so there’s that.

So what we were missing a point guard, shooting guard and small forward all year!

 

[JasonS.]

ORAL BOB IS FRISKY

 

[HenryMuto]

Dude shoots from Curry range those are just stupid 30 footers that go in.

 

[tls]

My handle is Crawfords Corner, but the Corner is actually pronounced, Smith.

Is Crawford’s pronounced Ace?

 

[Lempface]

Abmas is just fun, lol drains it deep in transition and turns around.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Is Crawford’s pronounced Ace?

Close. It's Amos.

 

[sk73]

Jay Wright is a very good coach. He has a 65% winning percentage and has won 24 NCAA tournament games. Thats all.

 

[kybassfan]

You should know - NEXT STOP: TEXAS

You going to Texas?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Abmas had a layup and passed it out for 3. Not smart.

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

Travis Ford or John Pelphrey should be our next coach. Fire Calipari immediately and hire one of those guys.

For the record it was Pitino who recommended those names after Tubby split. I haven’t seen many people on here pulling for either them, if any.

 

[Lempface]

Kicked ball on that scramble?

To be fair, neither will Cal. Will have to be 15 points better than the field to pull it off. Sad reality.

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Hadn’t heard any recent news
Including him dispelling rumors

 

[RunninRichie]

He’s young.

 

[Mike-D]

Simply the best in college basketball.

Right

 

[gracetoyou]

To be fair, neither will Cal.

Statistically Cal has a much greater chance than Jay. Its not like Cal's teams have sucked post 2015. He has had 3 teams "capable" of winning it: 2017, 2019, 2020. 2 of those fell just shy of a final 4 & last year we'll never know.

2020 team had the components to make a deep run. Shot the 3 well. One of the best free throw shooting teams in the nation. Nick was playing great. 3 really good guards. Defended very well.

 

[hotelblue]

yeah ark needs to win this.

A point guard who was a headcase.

 

[Mike-D]

These threads are hilarious. 51 points. Simply the best.

 

[BigBlueFan19]

You sir, are the worst in the business!

 

[jameslee32]

I swear that when Cal leaves UK some of the posters will leave and support his new team.

Like Morgy when Cal left Memphis. Except he was trolling of course.

 

[RunninRichie]

Robinson-Earl is one of those near perfect college players that Jay Wright just churns out every few years like clockwork.

Trevor Keels is up next

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Duke lost Jordan Goldwire to transfer. Not saying UK should try to get him. Just that I saw that go across the ESPN ticker.

 

[RunninRichie]

Like Morgy when Cal left Memphis. Except he was trolling of course.

do you legitimately believe morg was a memphis fan?

 

[hotelblue]

ark getting punked by jurgens. good lord.

 

[Lempface]

Sick white man dunk right there.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

ark getting punked by jurgens. good lord.

He just got another one

 

[Jumpercat]

He’s not a robot!

 

[Lempface]

Abmas needs to stop passing to 14 or 14 needs to come in about 7 feet. Top of back board good lord.

 

[rick64]

I’m 0-2 with my predictions today, so why not keep the perfect record going?

 

[hotelblue]

He just got another one

player of the half lol

 

[gracetoyou]

He lost three starters. If we lost someone like Colin Gillespie late in the year we would not have a backup. Cal does not believe in backup point guards.

Oh ok. What happened in all Jay's other early exit losses to lower seeded teams that I listed?
