Not as much as she loves Ho Chi Minh.

The final ruling on this case should come around 2031 or so.

KY fans seem to be coming around on this hire, after initially being lukewarm on it. I’ll be interested to see what kind of roster Pope assembles for year 1.

I don’t think Cal blew off the hog call. I think he was preoccupied shaking hands and meeting and thanking people and just wasn’t paying attention. He’s there to coach and win, not be a cheerleader. Didn’t bother me one bit.

I’d be smiling too if Laura was sitting next to me. She has that effect on men.

I thought Drew would be the hire for KY.

Well many older folks in Arkansas pronounce Italian as “eye-tal-ian”. :)

Another Mizzou post that aged about as well as roadkill on hot pavement. Fortunately for Mizzou, Ford will still be available if Mizzou goes 0-19 in the SEC again and fires your Webster look-alike coach.

Another one of your idiotic posts that aged poorly.

I think UConn spanks Purdue, and Clingan outplays Edey.

Yup. Sigh

Yurachek has now missed on his top 2 guys. Big mistake not going after Josh Schertz from Indiana St, who just landed at St Louis. Some of the names I’m hearing for the job are downright scary. Scumbags like Will Wade and Sean Miller or up-and-comers without enough experience. I think it’ll be someone that nobody is talking about. I’m hoping for Fred Hoiberg.

The Iowa St coach is an Iowa native with a massive buyout. McDermott just signed an extension. Chris Beard’s name keeps coming up. He’s a great coach but a complete dirtbag who is constantly kicking the tires on other jobs.

Muss has already packed his bags. He gone. I’d like to see the Indiana St coach as his replacement.

Really bad look from our AD. That and his inability to get an NIL program thats competitive in the SEC warrants serious consideration for moving on from him. The football program is a borderline disaster and what happens to the basketball program when Muss leaves.

If anyone can beat UConn, Alabama is the type team that might pull it off. If Bama can hit 15+ threes and shoot 40%+ on those attempts, they have a shot.

KY only hires big-name coaches that are proven winners at the high-major level. No up-and-comers. I think their 1st call would be Billy Donovan. Scott Drew would be on the list too.

I’ll never understand why the ESPN chuckleheads race to defend coaches like Cal who are highly paid, yet consistently underperform, especially a sleazy operator like Cal. Cal seems more interested in getting guys drafted in the NBA than winning in March and April. Is getting guys drafted part of his job description? I doubt it. Rece’s comment that only Cal and Little Ricky can coach at KY is downright stupid.

Doesn’t sound like he’s planning on changing anything he does. He refuses to learn from his mistakes. Stupid and stubborn is a bad combination. I don’t blame KY fans wanting him gone.

Edwards just neutered that poor guy.

The list of dirty s h i t from Duke keeps getting longer. There was Grayson Allen’s numerous tripping incidents, then Tyler Hansbrough getting his face bloodied from a cheap shot from Gerald Henderson, now this.

Meanwhile, there were some pretty important games in the SEC also, which have barely been mentioned. On a purported SEC site.

I thought this was an SEC site. My bad

In my opinion, the vast majority of Arkansas fans still like Pittman and want him to succeed. I’m one of those fans. The bigger question is whether if most Arkansas fans still believe Pittman can get Arkansas back to winning 7-8 games a season. No one expects Sam to win 10+ games a year. Once every 4-5 years would be great, but most Arkansas fans are very aware of Arkansas’ limitations regarding in-state recruiting and NIL. If Pittman goes 6-6 and wins a bowl game, he’ll probably return. If not, he’s probably done.

I’ll be interested to see if KY’s defensive intensity picks up in the NCAA tournament. As you stated, they have the athletes to play defense. I think that the players feel that their offense is so good that they can get away with playing sporadic defense and still win. That works against mediocre and bad teams, but against good teams, we shall see.

You beat me to it. Johnny Douchebag just needs the oversized red shoes and red Afro wig.

I agree about Barnes. The #1 factor in NCAA tournament success is having good, experienced guards. TN has that.

In my opinion, the home school should provide 20-30 security officers to form a wall or tunnel to get the visiting team to the locker room. They’re not going to be able to keep 1000s of people off the floor if they all bum rush at the same time. Fines haven’t worked, and hiring an army of security is cost prohibitive.

Exactly. Slick Rick completely overhauled his roster via the portal. Only one player returned from last years team and Pitino wanted him. Maybe his player evaluation skills have eroded.

Looks like the top 6 will make the NCAA Tournament, 7-9 are on the bubble, and 10-14 are going home unless they win the SEC Tournament.
