Breaking: Kentucky vs UNC this Saturday

No, you are right. I did. I looked at lurker and then your post and thought it was him. Just looked too quick. Then I thought you were referencing the last thing I said when you mentioned the Tar Heel thing when in truth you were talking about me posting too quick. So it was my bad all the way, lol.
Not sure about the classification, but I think they ruled that it was Savannah St’s fault. 17-year postseason ban.
In case I have to turn another UK game off mid-2nd half yet again due to getting chapped, good game in advance UNC.
Impressive. I turned off the ND game at halftime and took a nap.
It’s unprecedented. I’m not an optimistic person this season. I hate being this way . . . but it’s only based on reaction to our results.
I think you guys are greatly overestimating UNC. They have been double digits to almost every team they have played, even the awful ones.
No UNC still sucks. Just so happens UK sucks worse this year.
Some people are into that sort of thing. Could be What You Need.
Well, UK is 0-2 vs the ACC this year, they could go 0-4 prior to conference play. They now get unc, then they play Loui… .oh, never mind, 1-3 it is.
Yeah. We’re no lock to win. But if the guards feed the posts from the jump, I think we will be fine.
Fair weather is putting it nicely, that second half was Kansas weather. I was hoping for OZ but all I got was 1-4 in Memphis.
Live look at UK's OOC schedule 2020.
Not possible, as I am also a Reds and Bengals fan. The weather is rarely good with either of them. I'm sure you understand if you're a Royals fan. They suck ass for decades, win a WS, then straight back to sucking ass.
That just made back-to-back WS appearances all the sweeter.
Exactly. Last time the Reds won the WS they went wire-to-wire in 1990 and were huge underdogs against the mighty A's and the Bash Brothers when they were in their prime. 4 games later the Reds had a sweep. Ahhhh, so sweet. SmokinSmile
Yeah, now they tried to contend for one year. F'ed it up with a buffoon for a manager and contracts to guys who were overvalued and are going to go cheap again and suck.
After we lose to UNC, we will beat Louisville, and salvage the season. 1-5 to national champs. Bring it on
I have Christmas at my mom's with the family Saturday so will probably miss this trainwreck. Will watch recorded if UNC wins.
I have to admit that Kentucky being bad has watered down my basketball watching this season. Don’t see a line in the game yet, but even without watching Carolina, I expect you guys to win by 10 to 12. Like yourself, I have a Christmas that day that starts at 2. Luckily my family is really into sports and I will get to watch us get our ass kicked with a beverage in hand.
I still watch a ton of games. I'll watch this one if I'm at home. Not around a bunch of other people though, lol.
It was a terrible hire to behind with. Dude has been unsuccessful at every stop. I have no idea why they thought at the highest level it would be different.
I feel like there's a good chance that the 4 primary blue bloods will all be top 10 teams next year. Kansas might take a step back, if Agbaji and Wilson both go pro. Potential 2022 starting lineups

Certainly a few guys could still go pro, maybe DJ Steward, Day'Ron Sharpe, or Isaiah Jackson. But, I think 2022 should result in much better seasons for the blue bloods. Kansas might be the only one of these schools with a decent shot at the Final Four this season.

College basketball needs this
Let's just say that Hagans is damn glad he attended Kentucky and not an Adidas school or an unheralded program. 🤣
That is a great question....

I think the chance of Wilson going pro this year is pretty slim. He's not that athletic and isn't a deadeye shooter. Is he even on NBA scouts' radar yet? Not sure. Hard to say what Agbaji will do. He still seems to play like he's unsure that he's a KU-caliber player. It's hard to imagine him being confident in taking a stab at the pros. Plus, I don't think he's dramatically improved anywhere. His outside shot may be a little better but still inconsistent. You never know what these players will do though.
I think if one of the two comes back, particularly Wilson, they'll be a much better team next year. They're still figuring things out and aren't that good right now, primarily because it's a group that hasn't played much together, and a few of their most talented players have no experience at this level. I'd expect Thompson and Grant-Foster to be much bigger contributors next year than they are right now.
Plus, I think Self's found a few hidden gems for next year. Sydney Curry looks like he could be a monster. I think it's clear that Self wanted another Azubuike and he may have found something pretty close. He's a few inches shorter but powerful and skilled around the basket. Went the juco route due to grades apparently. Wish he were eligible to play now.

If only Adidas/KU paid in fake bills like Kentucky. 😂
Most think Skyy Clark will ultimately re-classify into the 2021 class, which could give UK 3 PGs in the same class (Hickman, Clark, and good chance they land Sallis). That might be too crowded for Askew's liking.
