I’ve never understood why fans like him and networks hire him. There aren’t enough drugs on the planet to make him tolerable. It’s clear all his colleagues can’t stand him either. Utter nonsense and rambling for two hours

I 1,000,000% agree

Couple interesting takeaways from the Utah/Kentucky game. Cal scheduled this game in Vegas so his team would be familiar with the arena before they play OSU on Saturday.
Usually when Kentucky plays anybody they probably are the youngest team on the court. Not in this game. Including Walk-ons, Utah has 11 freshman, 4 sophomores, 1 junior and 1 senior.
I haven’t done it yet but it would be interesting to compare the freshman rankings of each team just for fun.

Utah had a good game plan and stuck to it. Gach and Hall had great games for Utah. They were the tougher and more disciplined team for most of the game. They had a few stretches where they had a rash of turnovers and poor defense. Good win for the Utes.

Won’t be able to get to that today. Busy parcel day at work and when I get home from work it’s straight to movies with the family to watch Frozen 2. At least this will be new. I’ve probably seen Frozen over 100 times

RE: UK's loss (and other big losses this season), last year during the tournament, I had a kind of an epiphany. I felt like there was a major paradigm shift starting to take place in the NCAA. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way a little bit in regards to these huge dominant programs, and this season is kind of proving the theory. I'm not sure what's changed really, it's just the feeling of "this can't last forever" is starting to become true. Not to sound all hippie-dippie, just something in the air.  Maybe I'm totally wrong.

Yuck, yeah me too.  Luckily my wife took my daughter to see the new one during the IU UConn game

I'm starting to think Brooks wasn't that big of a miss after all. I'm struggling to find one thing he does well.

He's got size, but he can't shoot well especially from 3. His defense isn't particularly strong either, there was a point last night where that one white kid was able to hit a 3 right in front of him because he didn't fight through screen at all.

I think we would have been frustrated with him this year if he came here.

Utah could hit shots and UK couldn’t.

UK still almost won on athleticism alone, but boy do they miss some shooters.

And I am happy about it.

Announcers still drool over UK sending guys to the NBA so they will continue to pull studs.

I’d say roster management is a problem for Calipari more often than it should be. Get 2 or 3 shooters, with his typical athletic point guard.

He has had Herro, Booker that jump to mind but they aren’t known for their shooters.

Probably be another example of missing a recruit sky is falling when it wasn't lol

He definitely would have helped, but I think it's clear he's not a one and done type of talent like he thought he was. Unfortunately for him, he chose the school with the coach who won't think twice about recruiting over him. He could have came here and starred with his buddied TJD and Franklin for a couple years and then heading to the NBA, but instead he's a role player at Kentucky.

Seems stupid Memphis fought the NCAAs ruling only for Wiseman to play a handful of games. Poor Penny[emoji23]

I think M$U pretty much forfeited their right to anyone feeling bad for them ever again. They're despicable.

The whole "little brother" complex thing...yeah I've come to realize that's actually Butler. I have always said "I can't hate on Butler" but their fans make it really, really tough. Borderline U of L level.
