Kentucky's getting away with murder under the basket. Guess the NCAA decided one 1-seed going down was enough.

More of the same. Right out of the NBA playbook. McFarland has gotten fouled like eight times underneath.

Doesn't Ashley Judd have a movie set to get to? No, that's right, she hasn't been relevant in 15 years and needs her PR team to get her seen at Kentucky games to remind everyone she exists.

Enjoy it now Kentucky fans, these wins will be vacated pretty soon when Satan calls Calipari back to recruit for his Hell's Minions squad.

They are enjoying it. They should. This team is crazy talented.

Nothing like a little chalk to bring you back. The kitties looked pretty convincing against a bad Wake team. If it goes down, Kentucky vs. WVU will be some game.

It is like they were maybe 50% focused in the season. Earlier in the year they would have let Wake Forest in, they would have gotten it down to 12-14 and then they would have won by 20. Wake sucks I know but I agree, they are gonna be tough if they play that focused.

Unless you believe that those kids are coming to Manhattan Kansas to learn under the great Frank Martin.

Or that those kids that come to Syracuse from all parts of the country do it for the bustling nightlife of upstate New York.

Or that wherever Bob Huggins goes is suddenly the magical place to be.

Or that Jim Calhoun didnt pay Rudy Gay or a bunch of those other kids.

Yes, Rick Barnes is an amazing coach! Durant went there for the campus right?

Tell me why Rick Pitino isn't repeating the success he had at Ky down in good old Louisville?


I could go on all day. Calipari gets a bad shake in my opinion. Yes...he cheats. Just like dutrow-he gets picked on because he does it better than anyone else.

Calipari gets the pick of the litter now because of his star quality and what he does for teams. He probably doesn't even need to cheat anymore because he automatically has people interested. He continues to put players in the NBA also. His mouth and his demeanor is what got him to where he is, and he is finally figuring out the whole picture when it comes to coaching. He talked the other day about not ending the game with timeouts and if you notice, the second that things start to go ill, he calls timeout with this team and regroups, doesn't pull the "I'll let them play out of it"

You dont really believe this do you? Who has he "put" in the NBA? Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans? They would have not even bothered with college had the age 19 rule not been in effect. Every school he leaves coincidentally has a huge amount of violations from the time period for which he coached. Naturally he knows or sees nothing.

Marcus Camby, CDR, Dorsey is in the NBA but doesn't play. Dozier plays in Greece. I am not sure how many made it besides Camby from the UMass days

What is the Kentucky / Cornell spread? If they had UK/Wake at 9.5, guessing 12-13?

Doubt it, think it'll be similar to the Wake spread. Cornell has looked amazing.

That was really really bad. I know Turgeon's teams from when he was at Wichita State and they were conditioned, A&M looked tired. And how they let that tool Kramer dribble drive for the winning score is shocking.

The defense and the lack of heart that team showed was appalling. Their guard play was extremely overrated. How they could throw it into the post with 17 seconds left and a 5 second differential is beyond rational thought especially considering the pace of the game.

They were basically playing 4 on 5 on the offense side of the ball. It was driving me nuts there were bounce passing into the post only to get it picked off, that had to happen 5-6 times. Harris didn't even attempt to shoot.

I will say that while the refs were letting them play all tourney, Davis got mugged about three times and they were no-calls. There guards cost them this game, plain and simple.

I just went back and looked at their schedule. 4 losses and 2 of them are to Syracuse and Kansas. Man did they have a cheering section today in Jacksonville! Not too mention Wisconsin was pitiful.

clyde 03-21-2010 09:37 PM

Really interesting stuff here.







No it's not.

Not reading it anymore as it bores and sedates.

Doesn't someone remind someone of someone?
