The SEC is shaping up to be a tough Conference
- Thread starter della
- Start date
They looked very good. That kid Dia is a beast down low.
We got punked for sure. Glad the guys didn't quit. I think we needed this kick in the ass. Would have preferred it to be on the road though.
Pat adams with 6 TV reviews in that game was unbearable
He jerks off in front of a mirror so I'm not surprised.
If you think that’s something you should’ve seen UL fans chest puffing for only getting beat a few points!😂
Many UL fans, including some on this site, are now consistently saying they would love to be in UKs bracket (as a potential second round game).
Here is how that will play out...UK will inevitably win. If it's a close win, UL fans will say "we would have won if we had a full roster." If UK blows them out, UL fans will say "we didn't have a full roster, getting to this the second round with injuries shows how great of a coach we have. We would have won with a full roster."
That, verbatim, is how this will go down.
as a neutral observer Louisville and Kentucky are both potential threats to go far in the tourney.
Kentucky hasn’t made a Final Four since 2015 and have as much excuses as anybody about it
Michigan isn’t a basketball school but has a more recent final four than Kentucky
That's cute. A timeframed accomplishment. What else you got to crow about in hoops?
I was surprised to see a Kentucky fan calling out another fan for march excuses given it’s been a decade since Kentucky had a tournament run. You okay, snowflake?
Doing fine, princess. Funny how you dodged the question. A Michigan hoops fan should know when he's barking up the wrong tree, so I guess you're just an idiot or in denial of the facts regarding UK and UM hoops?
Here a couple:
6-2
8-1.
You should just run off to the football board where your opinion might count for something.
I am not sure what that has to do with my post about what UL fans will 100% say if they get their wish to play UK in the tournament.
As for UK excuses for not making a FF since 2015, I will speak for myself, there are no excuses...well except one big one, UKs coach sucked. So if that is an excuse, then I guess I am guilty of being an excuse maker.
Louisville is not a threat to go far in the tourney, in my opinion.
Funny how they didn't start winning consistently until they got into ACC play. Wonder why that is...
Don't let wins over glorified midmajors fool you into thinking UL is going to go on a run in March. If they were in any other major conference other then the ACC, they would be around .500.
No one doubts Kentucky’s historical dominance.
What’s surprising is how such a dominant program historically can be so bad lately.
Easy answer... look at Arkansas. He's their problem now after being way below standards for the past 5 years.
I’m the Louisville fan that said that, I was talking about if Kentucky was a 1 or a 2 seed. Louisville can’t play with the more physical teams, that’s why I said that. We could have a much better chance of winning playing Kentucky more so than Auburn, Tennessee, Kansas, and a few more physical teams. Kentucky is a good team, but if butler doesn’t go 7 for 7 again on threes, we might have a chance.
Your garbage program is 17-40 against UK. That 'chance' you're talking about is as small as your brain, BLOCKHEAD.
Calipari is the 2nd best coach EVER at Kentucky, I don’t think that’s debatable.
To be fair, I am sure FL fans said the same thing about beating UK if Brea didn't knock down 7 threes, or MSU fans if Robinson didn't knock down 7 threes.
UK has numerous guys that can go scorched earth any given game. Happened to be Butler against UL.
Also, after Butler knocked down his first couple, UL continued to leave him wide open. Kelsey should have abandoned the plan to leave him as open as they did, but he didn't. Reminds me of when Cal continually left Dejuan Harris open in last year's champion's classic against KU, and he nailed 5 or 6 threes. It's like Cal, the dude is single handedly beating you, put a dude on him.
Good grief dude, it's a low ankle sprain, he will be out a max of 2-3 weeks.
You’re looking at it the wrong way, you guys are very lucky Brea and Robinson didn’t go off too.
Also, there aren't too many teams that are more physical that aTm, but UK was the more physical team last night. They held aTm to their worst offensive rebounding performance of the season.
This is a much different team than what UofL saw and by the time March rolls around, y'all really wont want to play UK. They are getting more and more physical with each game.
wonder if the Iowa St AD knew Otzelberger was this freaking good when he hired him. I hope UT offers him 5 mil when barnes retires
Do you think UT is at a level of poaching coaches? Like a destination job? Barnes was fired from Texas.
Will your AD buy him some shirts that fit?
Barnes is going to leave behind a great program, I think our AD will go big after a coach that keeps it going
10 to 1, UT fans here have to google who there coach was before Barnes.
Except @mikeinknoxville he's awesome.
Except @mikeinknoxville he's awesome.
not sure if talking about Cuonzo or Tyndall but I think we are familiar with Cuonzo because of how much we hated him. Job was way too big for him and his offenses were atrocious
Expectations were high heading into 2013–14 with a roster many felt could compete for a Sweet Sixteen appearance.[citation needed] However, the fans quickly grew vocally upset after another slow start of 16–11. A petition with thousands of signatures surfaced online for the firing of Cuonzo Martin and the re-hiring of Bruce Pearl, whose show-cause order was ending the next year.[citation needed] Whether the petition motivated the team or not, the Volunteers finished the season 5–1 and earned a place in the "First Four" round of the NCAA tournament. They defeated Iowa in the play-in game in Dayton, Ohio to move on to face the UMass Minutemen. Martin's Volunteers, who were the lower seed, were favored by many and easily defeated UMass. In one of the biggest upsets in tournament history, Mercer upset Duke, and the Volunteers went on to defeat Mercer to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Tennessee then played Michigan in Indianapolis. In front of one of the largest crowds to witness a Sweet Sixteen game, the Volunteers' comeback fell short and UT lost to Michigan by a score of 73–71.
Martin resigned from Tennessee and accepted the coaching job at California on April 15, 2014.[17] After a brief coaching search, Tennessee athletics director Dave Hart announced on April 21, 2014 that former Morehead State and Southern Mississippi head coach Donnie Tyndall would become the next head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers.[18]

The 2013-2014 team nearly went to an elite 8 but that roster was stacked. It would probably be the 2nd best roster Barnes ever had and with a good coach could have gotten to a final 4
