Self vs Calipari, BATTLE OF THE BUTTWIPES

[Yet Another UK Fan]

Which team will look the most underachieving? KU or Arkansas?

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Thread title reminds me of a certain avatar proposal.

 

[JC for 3]

Arky.

Cal's got no more March mojo left.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Supposedly, Boogie Fland will be back.

He'll make things worse for them. Too much rust.

Same can be said for Butler.

 

[JC for 3]

Butler plays better defense than Fland.... even with one arm.

 

[I am stupid]

Plus Butler will only play 5 minutes before he is injured again. (reverse jinx?)

If Self had Arky's roster, they'd be a 2 seed.

...not sure they'd shoot any better.

It’s March. Nobody should be taking Calipari to win

Crazy he accounts for almost 1/4 of Rupps banners.

You know what’s also crazy? One tournament win since 2019. That coach you speak of doesn’t exist

He still exist, but moved closer to where he belongs.

Stats and results don't lie either way.

Last 5 years just tattered his overall legacy.

Y'all were preseason #1 lmao

So, in other words, KU has a loaded roster?

I see a collection of guys that each do 1-2 things well but are huge liabilities elsewhere. They lack well rounded players and they certainly lack that downhill pg that will get you a bucket when you gotta have it. Actually they have the opposite of that with Harris.

Gotta love Arkansas fans.

Speaking of which....where did they go?

Yep. Pretty much sums it up. Plus a general lack of athleticism.

It's funny that people keep citing the preseason ranking as proof that they're loaded or something. As if the media isn't wrong constantly. Half of the preseason top 10 finished the year unranked.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Thiero is out though. That’s a kick in the nuts.

What is his injury?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

What is his injury?

Cal said he's not seen or talked to him. No specifics.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

What is his injury?

(knee)

 

[Random UK Fan]

Not sure if I should be surprised it’s such a close game or not?

 

[coryfly]

Hunter kind of sucks. Pretty sure Kansas would still be ahead if they and just left him on the bench.

 

[jackrabbit slim]

Calipari wiped his ass with Self's hair piece.

Feel like he regressed from his 2nd year, made a killing financially last 2 years though so kudos to him

Yeah, no doubt. I agree he seems to have gotten worse.

 

[Sparty_57]

He is too old; he should retire.

Calipari doubling his tournament wins over the past 6 years.

 

[RR30]

Calipari doubling his tournament wins over the past 6 years.

Hopefully Kentucky can do that later today as well

If he makes a deep run in this tourney, I’d question why he couldn’t do it at UK.

Crazy stat... KU has been preseason #1 5 times....and never reached the Sweet 16 in any of those years.

Kansas would’ve been better off keeping zuby. Dude is looking good at St. John’s

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Dickinson was throwing the game last night. He single handedly allowed Arky to win that game, in my opinion.

KU looked better with him off the court.
