Lol you right on that. We both hate UVA. Love to see Auburn and Texas Tech Final. First time winner.

His team with Towns was good too and returned a lot with the Twins, WCS and Poythress. That team should have won and was one of the best teams we’ve seen on a court in a long time. Am all time great team that honestly shouldn’t have lost.

They were an 8 seed in the tournament.

What was comical was UK fans thought a FF was a done deal with Okeke out and then jumping out to the lead early. I loved it.

I remember his name coming up a decent amount on other boards after Sampson. I don’t remember him coming up in any remotely serious way after Crean. But your memory may be better than mine.

Well, the Vikings don't need the stadium until September...

I wouldnt care at this point. That ship has sailed.

He had his chance! Done with him.

None of those guys are necessarily coming back. Herro is very likely gone and Hagans is more likely gone than not.
 

Those 2 are likely gone. I'd be shocked if Montgomery or Quickley leave though, and they were both top 15 recruits. Hagans should come back if he thinks he can improve his shot. Herro should probably go as his stock is high, and I'm not sure what he could do to get it higher next year.

Kentucky could be set up really well for that next year as they'll have Quickley, Montgomery, and possibly Hagans and Herro back with a top class coming in. That's how they won Cal's only championship. That team had multiple sophomores who hadn't been quite good enough to declare as freshman.

They were an 8 seed the year before, but the team with Towns was 38-0 before losing to Wisconsin. And that team that was an 8 seed figured it out at the end of the season and made it all the way to the finals. That team was awesome, returned most guys, and then added Towns, Booker, Lyles, and Ulis. That was an incredible team.

Those guys don't play Brooks' position. I think he'll get plenty of playing time next year

From ESPN Stats and Info:
"The highest scoring freshman in the Final Four field is Michigan State's Aaron Henry, who averages 5.9 PPG. Only 14.3% of the Spartans' scoring comes from freshmen, which is the highest of the Final Four teams. Other 3: Texas Tech (8.1%), Virginia (7.9%), Auburn (0.6%)."

They could transfer seeking greener pastures elsewhere (pun not intended)

Auburn is the second team ever to beat Kansas, UNC, and Kentucky in the same NCAA tournament (Arizona was the first)

Calipari is getting hammered on the UK boards right now.  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he bolted that pressure cooker of a job this year for UCLA.

@KeionBrooks your thoughts here?

7 Elite 8 appearances in the last 10 years.  Imagine going after the coach for that.  Winning the tournament is hard folks.
