UL hiring Pitino's boy would be fvcking hilarious and sad. He's an average coach. Would further cement how big of a shithole program they are right now though.
What happened to the one UT fan? He posted on here a lot then magically disappeared when UT fell apart lol.
He was a UConn fan. You had Dr01 who was UConn guy as well who only came on here to troll Cal. Guess it got too easy which is why he doesn't post anymore.
Pitino didn't have a down period that Cal has had. He came in, wrecked shit and left. Cal's last decade really hurts him. His highs are incredible, but his lows are worse than any coach in program history.
Don't think that is fair either. Generally when you have less teams, the quality is better because only the cream of the crop make it so to speak. But it's unquestionably harder to win in todays game, between the extra games, three point line, etc.
I'm not saying they weren't difficult or they didn't matter. But it is a lot harder to win 6 games in a row than 4. That's simple math. It also has to do with post integration and the modern 3 point line which changed the sport. Like I posted originally, I think UK is the best program ever. A 2...
Modern titles are more valuable than titles from back them. Not to say they aren't valuable, but if UNC wins a 7th before UK wins a 9th I'd say they are the better program without much thought. Would give them 4 coaches with a title and over 6 different decades. Until then, I'll stick with UK...
Is @dukedevilz thread on this still stickied? For me it's
1. UK
2. UNC
3. UCLA
4. Duke
5. UConn
6. IU
7. UL
Kentucky gets the edge because I'm biased and they have 5 different coaches that have won titles. UNC win 1 more title and they'd probably be over UK. Duke, we'll see with Scheyer.
If I had to guess right now the game would look somewhat similar to this game. You guys have a big edge at the FT line but Shead and company are just a bit too strong for the young guards to handle. But the shooting can obviously change things.
Houston is a terror defensively, but I think Duke can cause them some issues. They don't have a perfect matchup for Filopowski if he doesn't play like a bitch. Gonna guess they don't shoot 50% from three next week either.
