NAIA Kentucky Wesleyan shot 7-37 from three point range in their win at Louisville.

Kentucky Weslyan basketball is DII, and have eight DII national championships.  However, the program has taken a downward turn since their last natty in 2001.  But to your point, 7-37 from three, on the road, against a team in a higher division, and the win.....yikes!

Trilly’s thoughts on guys who better win now.

The Calipari buyout is insane. I have a handful of UK friends and it truly is split; some would rather be mediocre with him than part ways. The buyout + a suitable replacement will hold up any action IMO. Although, if relationship with AD is poor as reported it certainly is plausible. I wonder if this would be Cal's last stop or if he'd move on... to Louisville.

Yay Memphis. Penny recruiting guys that give him no chance of building a team culture.

Doesn't sound like something that would take a lot of effort.

Well, Eric Bledsoe can't spell ACT and Cal somehow got him into college.  Or whatever Kentucky calls a college.

No chance. That dude is smart as hell. He knows where all the bodies are buried and he’d turn that program into smoking rubble without batting an eye. The only way he’s leaving is on his terms and he’ll absolutely get paid.

And that's bad?

Let me know when that place is burning to the ground, I'll bring the marshmallows.

I’m feeling nostalgic tonight.  Time to start the 1987 run before the season starts Monday.   Can’t overlook 16 seeds I hear 35 years after the this game  1 seed falls 

Watching the old commercials always brings a smile to my face

Unfortunate, but on the other hand, he fills a very similar role to that of Anthony Leal at IU; experienced team leader who only plays in emergency scenarios.

So, his leadership and locker room presence will remain with the team.
