Is Kentucky in the tourney if the season ended today?

Love the banter and debate but as someone that can be critical at times, I was and still are happy about our performance at Minnesota. we missed so many open looks and still came away with a road win. I’ll take it

I hate comments like that. There have been games this year that has been false… he’s played well at times but he has been outplayed in several of our losses

We’re still 3-4 in the bigten. It’s going to take a lot to dig out of this mess

Are all of their off-season pics of guys in sand traps and flexing in the gym?

Chinese Basketball League pays very well and I think him being half Chinese will make him a big hit there should he go there. He would likely make $1mm+ per year there

Not really unless you can prove that Oats enabled him or something. it’s not like Knight was held accountable for Wilkerson beating his girlfriend. it wasn’t a trend in the hoosier program is why and it isn’t a trend in the bama program either

What does this have to do with Oats? I would take him in a heartbeat

Gillis > Furst - plays more minutes, is their glue guy

This is debatable. When you have the wrong people leading the recruitment, it matters. when you accept a role, it matters who your boss is.

I think we will find out there soon - if UK misses the tourney this year, we will see if they fire their hall of fame, national championship winning coach. I think they would/will

This is very true - that’s coaching…

It should change things but I am not so certain. We had the pick and roll working amazing for a 5 game period at the end of the year and then… nothing it got TJD out of the lane, setting screens outside the free throw lane and it was working. We then abandoned it and went back to the clogged, stagnant game we see now. we have a very capable point that can get to the rim, pull up from mid range and hit the 3. That coupled with a mobile big is perfect for that yet we don’t see it. there are obvious things that we could, should do and we don’t so I don’t feel good about this staff doing anything better/different

This season and beyond is in trouble. This season was supposed to be the one that we made a play for a bigten championship, a deep run in the tourney, showed that veterans like TJD could be taught new skills and that we could help out a young talent like JHS in the draft. if we accomplished the above, recruits would take notice and want to backfill those guys. I don’t think we are accomplishing any of those this year which makes this season a dud and kills future momentum
