Kentucky came into our house and absolutely steamrolled the future national champs. The underestimates of Cals coaching may be slightly exaggerated. That loss was why I was pessimistic almost til the end about our chances to win it all. I really had no confidence that we could get steamrolled by 20 points and be good enough to win a Natty.

@wissox I believe we had our worst game of the year. We were in a battle for 1st in the B12 when we played that game, and our coach said word for word that the game against 'Tucky was less important than the conference games coming up that week. Did Bill saying that before the game impact our effort? I think it did. Of course, some people tell me I’m all wet for saying that. But, we were looking to play Number 20 Iowa State, then Number 8 Baylor, followed by a date at Number 20 Texas as our next 3 games. And the game was preceded by our triple overtime victory over Texas Tech. So, in that sequence, we played Number 13 Texas Tech, then Number 12 'Tucky, then Number 20 Iowa St, then Number 8 Baylor, and then Number 20 Texas in a row. Run that Tucky game at anytime else in the year, and I think we have a chance to win.
I think them winning that game makes it even better that we won the national championship. AND we took away the all-time wins from them. Tucky also beat UNC by 25 last year. And they lose in the first round. I stand by my statement: Calimari is the worst bench coach in America!

@Jethro He doesn’t see his role as CBB bench coach. He is an NBA talent acquisition director.

LMAO!

When cal coaches his babies each year he’s teaching a whole new group of starters how to play. I truly believe if Cal had guys that stayed in school he’d have multiple rings. OF COURSE he’s stated he wants to get guys to the NBA. I’d hate for him to be our coach for that reason.
-
@Jethro You said “Calimari is the worst bench coach in America!” I said slightly exaggerated. Yours was greatly exaggerated! Remember that coach, the one we affectionately called squeaky? He might have been the worst, but actually, I used to say that about Scott Drew because I didn’t really believe in him, until I had to two seasons ago.
-
I hate having to defend Cal because I really can’t stand the guy.
-
@wissox they, his new babies each year, were going to the NBA with or without his coaching.

Mercy - watching Arkansas & Louisville - -hope crap Louisville is baad- - -I mean really Bad. - - Arkansas up 69 -42 - -had about 5 breakout jams in a row after Louisville turnover – JUMPIN - - -GEE – -HOSSIE – TOADS

Creighton boxed Tech’s ears last night - beat them by 11. Tech has a 7 footer transfer ( Fardaws Aimaq) who averaged 19 points and 13 boards for Utah St, but he’s been hurt and hasn’t played for the Raiders yet. I think he gets back right before conference starts, so Tech could be a load this year.
-
WOW. Exactly how bad is Louisville anyways ? - with 15:34 to go in the 2nd half today , Texas Tech is up on Louisville - - -45 - - - -13 . - - -THIRTEEN Points in over a half

I’m sorry Louisville needs to move on from their everything. Not just the coach

One other Cal fact. He and the other sleazy coach Rick Pitino are the only ones to coach three different schools to the final four. That’s just not the sort of thing that coaches who can’t coach do.
BTW when I looked that up, I saw that Ray Meyer coached two different DePaul teams to the Final 4 36 years apart!

It sure doesn’t s - - exactly what’s going on with that program ? -Is it just lack of talent - - I wouldn’t think so , not like this bad - -is it Payen’s Coaching or what ? - you talk about a drop off. I mean 20 points now with6:47 to go. – Tech up 58------ - - - - --20
-
Louisville’s NCAA stuff just got resolved so I’d give Payne a pass for this year and a couple of years to rebuild.

Creighton/Arkansas on ESPN. Two very impressive teams.

@Jethro Ricky Council I’d rather have than Kev…dude can score and is crazy athletic

Was awful man I gave him my best pitch and showed him all KU had to offer still wasn’t enough
Hunter Ricky Gradey Jalen Kj
National title team there
-
Creighton seems determined to win the game for a few plays, then they seem to want to hand the ball to Ark to catch up. Impressive if they could 1) clean up the ball handling, and 2) defend the arc.

Arkansas O is awful It’s Ricky council and Brazille doing pick and rolls that’s literally it
Schiermann hit one from deep and he and Gradey would have been fun
Yes, I’m frustrated Bill took defense over some of the better offensive players. Way easier to teach a scorer how to play defense than take a defensive guy and teach him how to score

The Blue Jays should be ahead by 15.
-
Great game. Creighton wins by 3.
-
Zona and Courtney Ramey looked great
He had 21 on 8-12 shooting 5-5 from deep 6 rebounds (yes, you read that right) 1 steal and 1 turnover
I’d take him next to Juan all day - yes Jethro I pitched him hard as well
-
Not sure what happened with his recruitment. Think he ultimately went where he was guaranteed the role he wanted.
-
@BeddieKU23 that stinks he must have wanted to be the pg because playing the 2 with Juan there are plenty of shots for anyone
-
Also believe NIL was a factor. Something that’s becoming the difference now with these kind of players. We certainly could have used another big with size that could score.
KJ has had 8 in 3 straight. Perhaps he is going to ascend to that average which will at least be respectable.
-
Boy Creighton & Arizona both look really tough

Really didn’t even try for a big. Made a late play for the kid who ended up at UNC. Reality is they though Zach would be able to score and he has just been turrible.
-
I’m really shocked Zach has been MIA so far. We need him healthy though. December is a long month with only 5 games. Time to see who develops
-
Fun Creighton Arizona game so far. Both legit teams

Your correct buddy - - - -Very Legit teams one or the other I could see making a deep deep run in the tourney even possibly winnning. - -I really like the way Creighton plays looks
-
Give me Zona they are legit
Creighton is nice but elite 8 max
Zona has final four potential
-
KState is good, tournament team I think.
-
@BShark I agree. Johnson is a stud.
I think Tang ends up a better coach than Drew. Drew is good and has improved. Drew comes from a bball family and he’s definitely adapted to todays game along with recurring to it.
Something about sitting under a successful coach and then finally doing it your way when the assistant is smart they can take what they like and improve what they didn’t (Tang and Floyd at AZ).
I mean look at Floyd dude lost essentially his entire starting 5 and yet the reloaded this year and he has those guys all gelled and playing well in November! So much for him being just a bag man at Gonzaga he clearly knows how to coach.
-
Arkansas and San Diego St. has been a great game so far. Hogs currently up 3 in OT in the 3rd place game in Maui.

“This looks like staring up at the earth from the bottom of Hells Canyon”. Guess who’s announcing Michigan St-Alabama right now?

They looked very good. New found respect for Wiskey. USC is a tournament team, imo.
