It’s sad to see an all time great go out due to injury. Kind of like Bird and his back. Unfortunately, time remains an undefeated foe. You may hold it off for a while, but eventually everyone succumbs to it.
@VailHawk I’m not a greedy type. Even when Powerball goes over $100 million I’ve told the local store to tell the Powerball people all I want it about $20 mil to divie up to family and the Powerball people could keep the rest. They still won’t draw my numbers. Out of Benson’s estimated $2 billion, again just $20 mill would make me happy. Maybe a private suite in the Dome and the Arena. But those aren’t deal breakers.
Thanks. You are describing some the other half of the problems I had in that organization.
More and more meetings, reports, and rules and less and less autonomy to do one’s job.
The current job I have is 180 degrees from that and I count myself very lucky.

KU’s defense was not great but it was not bad either; KU was down “only” 10 points at half time :). It was the putrid 19% FG that doomed KU :(. Louisville has also more height than KU with 7 players 6’-8" or taller. I surely hope Louisville can pull it off., they just pulled within 2.
@approxinfinity Trust me, we all appreciate you and your able assistants far more. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the year that provides us this little niche on the side of the info highway. Here’s a pre New Year’s toast to you. Take your pick.
Injuries are always the wildcard. UK was more equipped to lose a big than a perimeter player. However, it doesn’t change the fact that they are still deep and talented. Its a bad break for Poythress, who seemed to be a very hard worker. Its unfortunate that he may miss out on a very special season, especially since he was a part of the hugely disappointing season a couple years ago.
Big test today with UNC. I am curious to see how they adapt and if this makes them vulnerable.
