Tim Brando on LEACH report...

[TheJuddDome]

OMG, Ronnie Seikaly, wow, I have not heard that name in ages. Hahaaa, he was awesome.
Lawrence Moton is another good one, but he came through after those guys you listed though. Those were the good ole days of the Big East.

Yeah, I think Georgetown needs to aim higher than Ed Cooley, I think he's a latteral move, they can get better than him.

Brando has a good voice for basketball and he is knowledgeable. But choosing between Nessler and Brando is an easy choice.

I sorely miss Uncle Verne. Can’t wait until Nance is gone. I do like Ian Eagle and Speros Dedes.

It seems like we are going to lose. Hope I'm wrong.

I mean we just lost to Candy twice in 10 days on what was basically 2 home games. So it wouldn't surprise me if UK gets beat but it isn't because Providence is good. Kentucky out rebounded Vanderbilt by 20 and still found a way to lose. The wounds are self inflicted.

Why all the hate for Brando? He's much better than most of the play by play guys and doesn't seem to have a lot of the supposed hatred that is being claimed here. Does he have a bit of ego? probably but, none can be worse than Jim Nance. That guy is a mental case.
Sounds like a lot of people are bristling just because he said UK will have a tough game on its hands. Well, he's right! Calipari and this team will be tight as a drum by Friday. It just depends on how well they can overcome their fears of failure. Providence will be playing to prove something. Calipari/UK may be playing not to lose. That'll get you beat everytime.

I wouldn't be overly confident if Fredrick Douglas was the first round opponent.

They made the S16 after all. Lol

Yes, can’t stand Nance. What a douche. I know that Brando does not like us. As rdaltonfan said, he’s an extreme LSU homer. He loves it when we lose. That’s just who he is.

I've never got that vibe from the UK games he called when he was the SEC lead guy. Never really noticed any intense bias in favor of LSU either.

 

[David Rice]

I remember Brando said that Cousins should have been kicked out after the Swopshire incident.

They’re like #190 in adjusted tempo. They like to roll slow . An average Seton Hall team beat them by 25 using pace to their advantage. A bad St John’s team beat them last month . They lose games that are faster pace and have a lot of possessions back and forth , because they don’t guard well…they’re like 110 in defensive efficiency..they guard worse than us . They win when dictating tempo , running offense ( they’re good with offensive efficiency) and keeping it in the 60’s

Well Cal will grant Providence request to play slow and have a rock fight when a competent coach would speed them up and get out in transition as much as possible. I really wish I hadn't read this, no offense.

 

[hypocrithatr]

The Cats will get manhandled, Jacob Toppin will be a complete no show he's does not like physical play at all, we simply don't have many guys outside of Oscar that can BANG. I hope i'm wrong I just don't have any confidence that Cal is capable of making any in game adjustments.
