The team was complacent and got out hustled by a team they took lightly.
March Madness Upsets
- Thread starter della
- Start date
The ncaa isn't going to punish everyone involved, March madness would look like the OVC tournament.
Agreed. But I still think it’ll be a little while before you guys are back. I mean really back.
I think it's more that everyone else is coming back towards us, when the most talented teams are freshmen dominated, the tournament will be wide open.
correct
they will punish the schools that have a direct link to helping get players paid (coaches, asst. coaches ect.)
Since everyone that are responsible for the Bowen fiasco are gone, including the AD, I seriously doubt that Louisville gets any more punishment than the teams that have players with BAD loans. This sucks for us, but unless something new pops up, we’re going to be alright.
firing the people involved after the crime was committed will not change anything
UL was on probation and knowingly worked a deal to get Bowen paid
UL in in deep trouble, maybe even the death penalty
the players and schools that had no knowledge of the money exchanging hands will not be punished (see the Myron Piggy case)
in the case of Bam i fully expect UK to have that season wiped out and per NCAA rules it should be
UK fired Sutton, did that change anything

Oh, we're obnoxious too... just like UK fans. Nobody calls you obnoxious if you arent loud and proud.

We average around 57k in a 60k football stadium, and around 12k in a 14k basketball arena. Not bad for a tiny state, and a school where most of our fans have to drive 4+ hours to get to games,
I live in ATL, and see WVU fans, flags and stickers every day.
To say we're a small fan base is just stupid. But, you are a Marshall fan, so that's to be expected.

You’re either getting your info from the rafters, or Matt Jones. I think your fan base will be disappointed, we were NOT already on probation when the Bowen incident happened.
LOL
yes you were
you appealed the punishment but the punishment was already handed out
at best you may have gotten it reduced
you need to quit listening to Howie and Zipp
even the UL assistant coach that got recorded said you were on probation
c'mon Rocky you are more intelligent then your comment shows
Nope, we were put on probation 10 days after the supposed phone call. We were NOT already on probation.
Vols checking in.
What a heart breaker.
Sorry to hear that. Haven’t watched any b-ball today but was hoping Tennessee could go far. Take solace in knowing no one will remember your upset for the rest of eternity
Just know this, I became a Bennett fan when I saw his character after the game.
Here is to next year.
