    Can a team have a successful season without winning a title?

    I think I'd argue that pretty much any Final Four season is a success. The tournament's just such a crapshoot - playing well for six games in a row is damned tough. It's a little different in series-based sports like MLB and NBA, where a team's quality generally does come to the forefront over...

    Who's Y'alls Best Win this Year?

    Best win was definitely at the Phog, worst loss was undoubtedly at Notre Dame - though that loss was also what seemed to bring the team together, so even though it's stopping Kentucky from getting a 1 seed I really don't give a shit. Pretty much every other loss all year was to a top team away...

    Pre-Bracket Final Four Picks

    Wisconsin Kentucky Baylor Auburn I like Wisky simply because they're battle tested - lots of close games against good teams, and they win most of them. Baylor when healthy is elite. Kentucky and Auburn are great teams with each possessing a singular talent in Oscar and Jabari. Don't think the...

    If the Top Coaches Had Coached at a Different School, Would They Have Been as Successful?

    You know, I agree with you, but I *hate* that I agree with you. That feels like the worst sort of blasphemy.

    Madness is just around the corner and with road wins against good teams at a be at a premium, which teams have an advantage?

    Yeah, Kentucky beat 'em by 30 or so, too. But UNC's just not very good this year. Record's inflated by a terrible ACC. UNC's 'best win' is Michigan - a Michigan team that's massively underachieved and whose head coach is in serious hot water. Kentucky's second best road win this year is Bama...

    GITT If you Finished the Season Undefeated at Home.

    Under Cal, UK always plays its tough noncon games at neutral sites. This isn't new, and it's a source of a lot of frustration and annoyance for ticket holders. Of course, we were supposed to have a tough home game against Louisville, but someone had to go and chicken out of that ass-whooping.

    Madness is just around the corner and with road wins against good teams at a be at a premium, which teams have an advantage?

    Kentucky beat the hell out of KU on the road, but otherwise hasn't done very well (admittedly, lots of injury problems in those games). That's probably the single most impressive road win of the year, though - beating KU at the Phog by 20 (and it wasn't even that close) should count for a lot...

    Which Coach needs a Title more this year?

    I mean, the answer's K, right? Because he's never going to get a chance at another one. He's got one last ride into the sunset with what is honestly a really good, if not great, team - and we all know he's going to get a helping hand from the NCAA along the way, the John Wooden treatment.

    If Kansas and Auburn Played This Saturday, Neutral Court; Who Wins?

    I wouldn't bet on Agbaji to have such a bad game twice in a row, so it would probably be significantly closer than the UK-KU game, but I'd definitely still pick Auburn to win.

    Mid season look at your team

    We just don't have the guards to do it (until, maybe, Sharpe starts playing). Frederick injured and Allen incompetent really limits our guard depth. Toppin and Brooks have both been good this year. No reason to completely exhaust our guards by playing them at 4 positions. I'd rate Kentucky's...
