Kentucky will beat Auburn

Yea not impressed. Good coaching by Calipari though. I don't think when Bruce Pearl was at Tennessee he'd ever be trailing Calipari due to half court zone defense.
Man, I miss those UT/UK games when Pearl was there. That Jodie Meeks game was one of my favorite non-UNC games I've seen even though I was pulling for UT.
You have fonder memories of UK vs UT with Pearl than me. And AU has gone on 7-0 run since last post.
I just thought the rivalry was fun when he was there. Plus, he and Cal always disliked (may have been played up a bit by both but still) each other, which made it fun. UK usually won those games I think though. There were not that many of them either (don't think so at least).
Refs will continue to reward that shit because that get to do their stupid ass charge dance.
Gillispie's best games were more painful to watch for a UK fan than Calipari's worst.
Now...UT vs Memphis back in the day, while I hated both, was prime time.
Oh, I meant the Cal/Pearl stuff only in terms of when UK played UT. The Memphis and UT games were fun for sure.
Dakich calling Knox out over and over and over for pouting and quitting on his team was quite comical.
I completely disagree. When you recruit the way he does you sometimes have years where guys aren't really quite as good. He is dealing with some of that this year. He is a good coach.
He is, But not having Knox on the floor their late was nind boggling. By the time he brought him back, it was curtains. Didn't understand that all. He had 2 timeouts where he could've got him back in.
Thank goodness baseball starts Friday v Wofford. I'm about done watching us barrel towards the NIT.
Ignore the foolish fans. This team just isn't going to "get it" in time for a magical run. It's OK. People calling for Cal's head over it are idiots. We'll be stronger for it next year but this season has been pretty unbearable. Cal has been more frustrated than any of our fans I'm certain.
Well, up until right after I posted where they played much better they had looked pretty pedestrian.
No doubt. That was a bad game for us .
We're better than we showed tonight . But even playing average were still pretty good .
He is nothing without the top players. If he was coaching a team like osu this year they would be average as shit
My first game is next Friday, at Lindsey Wilson. I'm at UK later in the season. You go to many baseball games?
He seems to struggle when w/o that elite guy(s). Or when having no, to little experince. He's a good coach, but when he doesn;t get that games changing guy, it kinda of exposes his flaws; i.e. offensively. This UK team is not very good offensively.
At this rate, he certainly could be headed to his second NIT in the past five seasons.
I agree. Cal isnt a good in game coach or a developer of talent. Hes an accruer of talent and is also a good motivator.
He is good at recruiting and then getting those high talent guys to play together as a unit, but he is completely dependent on crushing in recruiting and he did not absolutely crush and get top 10 guys this year so now we are looking at what might be another NIT team despite having more 5 stars than any other team in the nation.
I know that auburn is the surprise team of the year, but why is the media not mentioning the pathetic OOC schedule they played? Uconn was probably the best win, and a loss to Temple? I'm not a Syracuse fan, but they get called out every year for that.
There's the UK spirit we all love.
I mean it's not like we haven't beat almost every SEC team we've faced by double digits…
MTSu is a better win than UConn for Auburn this year. Also Bruce has tried to up our OOC schedule but no one wanted to schedule us before this season. due to us being a low ranked power 5 team that wouldn’t help other teams resumes. Had temple bot beaten auburn and clemson we would have played them this season. We didn’t get to be in the big 12 challenge due to finishing 11th last season in the sec.We upgraded next season though. We are in the Maui for the first time.
