Love seeing all these bricks in the 3v3 scrimmage

Have to admit, they looked pretty darn good in the 5v5 scrimmage. Not that we don't already know, but Lyles is truly a stud. That being said he looks to be behind Stein, Townes, Johnson.

Going to have to spread em out and bang 3's. They will lose this year to some hot shooting teams if they play big.

I hope we play them in the tourney and rain so many 3's down on them that there are no rebounds to be had by all of their 5 star bigs!

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

I want to play them in the tourney every year regardless of how good they are. Beating them makes a season that much better.

 If the rule with the offensive player having the freedom to lower their heads and bulldoze to the basket like the twins did last year is still in place I don't see many people staying with this team.Hopefully the rules committee have revisited that but I don't know.

 This game's getting further and further away from what I grew up watching and have loved dearly.

If they shorten the time clock like a lot of coaches are clamoring for you may as well watch a NBA game.

Well Woodson1980----you know UK wants college ball to be NBA-like.

 

I just hope that they don't kill traditional college ball with all the changes being considered.

I'm disappointed that you guys tuned in for this and helped give ESPN the ratings they were after. 

 

 

When Kentucky plays on ESPN next season I'm making sure my TV is anywhere but that channel the entire evening. There is zero reason to respect the way they play or anything they do. I'm not giving that rogue program any of my attention nor will I watch a network that worships them when they aren't busy stalking Lebron James.

Didn't tune in.My wife and I were in a sports bar in southern In and couldn't tune out.At least 10 of the 20 or so TV's were on that miserable program.Sad part was 3/4 of the patrons were in blue and loving it.Wanted to get up and tell them to get back across the river where they belong but I don't heal up as quick as i used to!

[Geometry Hoosier 1,151]

My wife shut the cable off :-(. I'll have to get it back before the season starts. Does anyone know if BTN is on Apple TV?

Almost too late dude. Calipari is single handedly turning it into a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Stream

I didn't see it, but to those upset, we had our midnight madness televised on espn a couple years ago while nobody else's was.  Are you mad at that too?

I was in a sports bar in Owensboro, KY once and heard a 'Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers' chant break out.  I was too stunned to join in, but it was fun while it lasted.

i think they rotated the coverage around to others as well, if I remember correctly.

we kicked it off during ours I dont think they switched to others. They were at assembly hall for it also.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I didn't tune in either but sure heard about it everywhere down here in Southern Indiana. The UK fans are so proud of their corruption.  I actually think it's going to be tough for UK to keep everyone happy with 20 minutes a game. Calipari will run into the same problem Crean runs into with automatic--- timed subbing---you often take out the player with the hot hand or mess up the chemistry during a run. I hope Calipari's semi-pro experiment fails miserably!

 

For those that did tune in---is it really true that during timeouts  instead of using towels to wipe their sweat----they were using $100.00 bills? LOL!   :biggrin:

[Hovadipo 57,299]

In all fairness, Josh has a point above. We had an entire practice on the U Cody's sophomore year lol. And I wasn't on here yet, but I'm assuming people were freaking out about how awesome it was. I know I was. What annoyed me is how Cal made it into an NBA Combine deal. That's just stupid.

Still waiting for the day that one of their 5 stars gets disgruntled and blows the whistle on that whole corrupt system at UK.

 

The question is would the NCAA even do anything about it?  They seem to always protect--UNC/Duke/UK.

A few weeks ago Doron Lamb was on Twitter bragging about how he got anything he wanted while he was there. But like anything else UK-related, it was all hush-hush, sweep it under the rug and hope no one remembers. 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

So true TheWatShot----they would have dispatched a team of investigators if that had been a past IU player! Of course IU would have probably self reported it which seems to guarantee you will get an even worse penalty! SAD!
