Why didn't the program make BCG? Tubby won a title but he had all of Pitino's players, the program made him the head coach of High Point.
Good thing the program was able to make Calipari and not the other way around RollLaugh

Get to 180 games then we'll talk.Here are the highest winning percentages in NCAA Tournament history. I would note that Loyola-Chicago is ahead of Kentucky.
Duke, 112-38, .747
North Carolina, 124-46, .729
Loyola Chicago, 13-5, .722
UCLA, 106-42, .716
Kentucky, 128-52, .711
Florida, 49-20, .710
Kansas, 107-46, .699
Obviously those two are better scorers and play-makers than the Duke bigs, but the Duke guys defend and rebound better... I'd actually feel more confident if Washington and Travis are playing together.
Rebounds Per 40 Minutes:
DeLaurier- 12.4
Bolden- 11.0
Travis- 10.3
Washington- 8.3
Blocks Per 40 minutes:
Bolden- 3.0
DeLaurier- 1.8
Washington- 1.2
Travis- 0.1
Also, if those guys are getting lots of touches, I think Duke's chances are actually a little better. The 2 Kentucky bigs aren't shooting off the charts, not anywhere near 60%. And they can get to the foul line, but they're not great free throw shooters. Of Duke's top 8 players last year, 6 of them had a higher true shooting percentage than both Washington and Travis.
Wrong c/p response. He said NCAA tournament history.SEC bro.
It's great to be reading about basketball again on here. Especially UK.
Lol.
Bro, you can’t extrapolate Bolden and DeLaurier’s stats over 40 and pretend that it’s an accurate measure.
Wrong c/p response. He said NCAA tournament history.
Yeah. And for so many years only one team from each conference made the tournament. It was much harder for Duke or unc to get into the tournament than it was for Kentucky.Wrong c/p response. He said NCAA tournament history.
Get to 180 games then we'll talk.
Yeah, that's it. LaughingI guess it makes sense that we're talking about UK considering a UK fan started the thread, correct?
How many games does Duke finish behind UVA in the ACC this year? I’ll say 3.
Still had to win games in the tournament. It's not UK's fault other teams couldn't make it.He's saying that joke of a conference afforded you several more NCAA Tournament trips since you were the only team in the conference that gave a damn about basketball
We'll take it. It would be an improvement from last year.How many games does Duke finish behind UVA in the ACC this year? I’ll say 3.
Right, but Duke and unc would also have more games played if they weren't keeping each other (as well as other great ACC teams) out of the tournament.Still had to win games in the tournament. It's not UK's fault other teams couldn't make it.
You mean like all time or just against Duke?Thought you guys loved winning %
We'll never know but, that's a fair assumption.Right, but Duke and unc would also have more games played if they weren't keeping each other (as well as other great ACC) teams out of the tournament.
Come on, you're better than hiding behind Villanova.How are Kentucky fans rationalizing the fact that Jay Wright has more titles than Cal?
Come on, you're better than hiding behind Villanova.
UMBC, that’s how bruhHow are Kentucky fans rationalizing the fact that Jay Wright has more titles than Cal?
And they're both ahead of Bennett and UVA.Cal is also behind Villanova
UMBC, that’s how bruh
And they're both ahead of Bennett and UVA.
Yeah but we’re not a blue blood.
Pretty crazy that UMBC could do something that 31 other teams couldn’t do.
Yeah, that's it. Laughing
OK.Did I say something false? Clearly the OP was trying to start something lol but no it's all about attacking Uk according to you
You forgot the UCLA... oh waitLet's get some Carolina guys in here so they can tell us why their program had to cheat in order to be good these last 25 years. Let's make this a real party. They're the only ones missing.

Bolden/DeLaurier defend and rebound better than Travis and Washington, that's really my main point. That's what they're primarily asked to do. Obviously they won't be playing as many minutes as the Kentucky duo. So while I think Kentucky still has an edge in the paint, I don't think it's as nearly one-sided as some might think it to be; Duke has efficient bigs and we have playmakers to compensate for the inside scoring, bro.
You mad?Lmao, a LOAD of Uk fans are just absolutely dogging Jon Rothstein for an opinion. A preseason poll opinion. Who gives a crap? Then you have Matt Jones and Justin Rowland who rile it up by chiming in. The saints of the Uk fanbase. If they don't give their input, then it doesn't get worse. Just like to stir the pot.
And people still wonder why Uk has the worse fanbase and that they live "rent free" in everyone's head. No. I've never seen 2 huge insiders and people that play major roles in fans opinions do what those 2 did. It's a preseason poll.
Just like this is thread is based around a betting website. ONE BETTING WEBSITE. WHO CARES!
