The Hubert Davis experience…

Chuma tore his ACL at the end of that unc game. We win natty had auburn had him in the final 4. Or if a red knew what double dribble was. Chuma was best player of tournament through 3 games that year. Then tore his acl
You always seem to make unprovable assumptions.
 
It is probably easier for Wheeler to show up when you play the sort of defense that would make a middle school coach in rural Tennessee embarrassed.
It had to be pretty embarrassing for Davis to see him constantly shredding the defense and making layup after layup en route to a career game.

Auburn lost by one point in a final 4 game against the eventual national champion uva without our most talented player . That got drafted in the top 15 that next draft. It’s not a tough assumption to make to say we would have won had we had our most talented player playing in a game we only lost by one point

It wasn't embarrassing enough to put him on the bench and try someone else. I'm tired of hearing Davis speak. He is either lying or using extreme hyperbole and both don't really play well as a first year coach.
 
I've watched a couple of times. I guess that consistent. Great win. I agree with @della UNC is very underrated.

I watch loses over as well. First time is too much emotion. Second is to actually watch it. 3rd is between me and my Kleenex box.
I watched the first of the game and UNC was just lethargic. Neither team was on fire shooting, but any 50/50 ball was going to UK, they totally out hustled UNC.

UNC looked like someone had forced them to play and even that bearded guy couldn't hit a 3.

Do you have to bring Auburn up in every subject on the board? This was about UNC/UK. What is wrong with you?

della- "I went to Publix and bought Chuck roast for $3.99/lb."

Lurker- "Really, I was able to pick up Chuck roast at Kroger at the same price, their must be a surplus".

Coryfly- "I don't like Chuck roast".

AuHoosier- "Bruce gets Prime Chuck roast for $2.99/lb at Publix in Auburn!"

Stop being so annoying.

Perhaps if Tennessee could actually beat pearl it would stop.
 
You don't speak for all UK fans.... The team played well and still there's of fan naysayers. Relax and enjoy where this is going. Not near as bad as some of you are making it to be.

And I'm drunk so there's that lmao
Yes, you have always been a sunshine pumper for Kentucky. Some of us are a tad more realistic after the last few years.

I started the thread dipshit. Auburn was brought up by someone else. And I just responded to that.
You started a thread about UNC's coach dumbass. Someone said, Bruce beat UNC. That was all it took for you to go on and on about Bruce/Auburn and how someone got hurt yada yada yada.

No one cares and it is not relevant to the subject. Get a life and stop living vicariously thru Bruce's dick ya 10 yr old.

Thanks for confirming someone else brought up auburn and Bruce. As I said.

I'm nothing if not honest. Now you confirm that you went on and on about Bruce/Auburn cause the point still stands.

I never denied I posted about them. You have zero point because I wasn’t the one that brought it up. Stop being a such a loser dude. It’s not a good look

Not deny something is not the same as admitting something which is what I had said. Do you have some reading impairment?

Yeah it is.
 
Didn't UNC and Duke fans react differently to the recent hires?

Felt like a lot of UNC fans weren't overly thrilled with Hubert. Some were, but it seemed like most felt like it wasn't a homerun hire.

Duke fans, on the other hand, were mostly cool with Scheyer. Here's what I said in February. I wasn't over the top excited about it staying in the family, but if it were, Scheyer would have been my pick.

Give me Chris Beard or Chris Holtmann over any of the Duke connections. Also, I might take Scheyer, too. Or Brad Stevens.

I agree. I like Jon and think he will be successful. To be honest, basketball is not that hard to coach. It is more about motivation and with top 10 kids who will be motivated, I think Duke will be fine.

Holtmann is who I wanted at UNC. Hubert was the last person I wanted. It just makes zero sense.
 
I think some people will take too much away from this game. Yes, UK looked good, but UNC has a tendency to make teams look good with that horrid defense. Kentucky isn't as bad as people thought, and they aren't as good as that ass kicking last night made them look.
Very true.
UK can compete with anybody in a full court, up and down game, it's the half court rock fights that have always been a struggle for Calipari. His offense is awful. 1985 iso crap.

Yes, that I am. I would disagree with your second sentence. I've been in an argument about how Oscar wasn't good lmao over that one. What I do understand it takes to time for a team to gel. Especially the way Cal puts them together. I was a lot like you guys at one point. Then a tragedy in my life changed my outlook on a lot of things including UK basketball. I don't see it in the same passion as I use to. I'm one of those guys that when I was younger would go up to the top of a hill just for radio reception of the game lol. A lot easier now thank goodness.

Playing the way they played against UNC was a major milestone. We'll see if they can sustain and improve. I try to see the good before the bad. Last year, it was all bad lol.

I think most people realize Hubert is not a head coach. He doesn't have the chops or the personality for it. He’s Matt Dougherty 2.0.

But Scheyer might actually end up being an extension of coach K. He appears to think the same way and I also think the weight won’t be too heavy for Scheyer.

But we'll see. He has a tough team to coach right off the bat. They’re talented, but very young.

As much as I've read about Holtmann growing up just outside Lexington, his whole family are huge UK fans, etc., I think he'll stay at OSU until Calipari retires. Who knows though.

Let him go to UNC for a few years just to get their hopes up until UK comes calling. 😎

Cal made this comment and honestly I don't know how much merit it has, But he said a lot of coaches don't want their successor to be successful.

Its seems to be true for UNC. I again thought Davis was hired to provide you more time in getting who you really want. More an interim guy to take the heat lol Your offense is so spread out after a shot is taken, its difficult for you guys to get a rebound. I guess shoot the 3's and hope for the long rebound. But rebounding was a mainstay at UNC. Tough inside. Bacot played well but he can't do it by himself. If I had been Davis, I would not have messed up that formula. 2 bigs fighting inside and 3 still available for a long rebound.
