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.

Supposedly, Boogie Fland will be back.

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

Same can be said for Butler.

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.

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

What is his injury?

What is his injury?

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