Also was smart enough to pull his starting PG seeing he was about to get down big--pulled him and 14 pt swing in the game. Knowing your personnel and knowing how the game is being played are important aspects in a win/go home scenario.

How mad would the UK fan base be if Nova won their third title this year? Compared to Cal's one? Especially with lesser talent.
Why would anyone be mad? I don't think Villanova is going to get to Final Four but if they do and win it, tip the hat.
they have a couple post players for sure. they made some big defensive plays and then started scoring. if baylor stays cold it’s lights out.
Not mad but easily would prove that the 1 n done approach is garbage compared to the Jay Wrights Wildcats.
I'd love to have him as the next coach but if he ended up getting his 3rd this year.... he'd be building his own legacy and would not jump ship.
Mad at Cal more than anything. That Nova has won 3 titles during Cal's era. I like nova and Jay Wright. Nothing against them. I think it would just frustrate the fan base seeing someone else other than UK get 3 titles to Cal's 1 is all.
I’d say it makes him look like a bigger clown that he already does
I thought we had this scenario figured out. Jay has more titles yet Cal has more NBA players....
Come on now....best in the business? He’s a solid coach. Should be. Been coaching for 35-40 years. Way too many knee jerk reactions around here because someone is up at the half. 
Give Wright credit for changing how he runs his program. He was frustrated with how things were going and asked for some outside evaluations/comments on what he should do differently. First thing he was told is that he was too arrogant and stuck in his ways and needed to change how he ran the day to day and he listened. Can't let pride get in the way of getting better. Since then he's had more success.
Tell me about it, I dread the end of the season more than anything. Its fun to watch a team get better and make a run, only to watch the best leave...
We have to watch months of suck just to get to a decent team in January-February
Bro I just dream for the day where 1 through 5 UK has some dudes who can shoot.... give me FUN basketball.
Sick of the projects
Sick of the projects
Definitely envious. Without a doubt.
Cal better make those changes promised next season. If he doesn’t.....he will be officially passed up. This tourney is showing cal the new era.
Frankly don’t care if Nova wins another one this year. Rather it be Nova than the west CPA at sisters of the poor Gonzaga.
Would trade Cal for him any day
Lmfao, the guy with 2 titles and 3 final fours “could” get a look.
Nothing would be sexier than a Brad Stevens UK pairing.... unfortunately I believe Brad prefers the NBA.
Oh well a guy can dream.
Cal prob gonna be here another 5 years any who lol

I love Wright’s system. Always have. He is the best coach in the business right now, IMHO.
I saw a televised game earlier in the year where he did really well and I don't understand why Drew doesn't play him more.
The reason he only “could” get a look is because he will laugh at the proposition. Kentucky knows that and won’t even ask. Not to mention, his runway isn’t much longer than Calipari. No young guy himself.
