I’m happy Pope is out of the Big 12! Perfect fit at UK.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
What’s interesting about the Kentucky situation is that it will be similar to KU sometime in the future when Bill retires or leaves.
I think UK is overlooking that Wes Miller dude at Cincinnati. He’s going to be a solid coach over the next couple decades.

RE: Assistant Coaches - Roles & Responsibilities
Rest? These guys are 19-23 years old. Unless they are only sleeping 4 hours a night (which is my guess), they don’t need extended periods of inactivity to let their fragile muscles rebuild. I haven’t bought this BS excuse from coach since he started rolling it out about 5 years ago. It’s been obvious conditioning is trash with various players.
Imagine coaching a guy like Hunter, out of shape from the day he was born, thinking that letting him rest more would improve his conditioning.

RE: Assistant Coaches - Roles & Responsibilities
New strength and conditioning coach is needed, IMO. Or maybe a new philosophy about conditioning.
Self always says, “well, in the tournament, you have the long time outs and longer half time, blah blah blah.” There’s no way those guys should have been that gassed half way through the second half–ALL YEAR. I literally haven’t seen one other team in the tourney that looked as wiped out except maybe Illinois in the second half vs UCONn.
Getting an extra minute or two to catch your breath doesn’t do anything if your legs, lungs and heart are not in shape to begin with.

RE: What about 2020?
Women’s bracket with home court advantage clearly eliminates nearly any upsets. Look at this year’s bracket. 5 or 6 “upsets” in two rounds. It’s ridiculous.

RE: What about 2020?
@approxinfinity only 3 overall number 1 seeds have won it in the past 20 years.
so 15%

RE: Lady hawks in Cali
Great tourney effort and season by the players. Made it to a couple games this year and this is a solid group and fun to watch. Schneider still a big meh high school caliber coach imo
-
RE: Lady hawks in Cali
Refs took over. Not many upsets in the womens tourney with home advantage. Hawks just have to keep rebounding and hitting shots

RE: The problem with honesty…
Hard to believe this year’s 23-11 is KU’s worst record in 35 years. (19-12 in 1988-89)
We have it pretty good!

RE: Sundays Rd of 32 games
73 free throws in this trash game so far
Ended with 50/75 from free throws. Kudos to Houston for surviving that garbage

RE: Saturday’s Games (round of 32)
These creighton Oregon announcers are trash. They need to go back to whatever the sport is where morons pretend to beat each other up in a cage

RE: Zigging the Zags
I got my lettuce all planted this morning, so win or lose, I’ll be eating salads in about 40-60 days.

@DanR said in Zigging the Zags:
what are they shooting, 100% this half or 110%?
It’s whatever the opposite of what we are shooting, I know that

RE: Zigging the Zags
I liked all the shots, personally. If he’d made a couple of them we’d all be happy right now.

I must be ahead again
I counted off 20+ seconds from your “Juan” to when he shot it

RE: Zigging the Zags
Should have been offensive foul call right away. Refs can’t let that go

RE: Zigging the Zags
Lots of wrestling going on between hunter and their big

RE: Sams club game chat
I loved the way we played tonight despite the refs. Zaga has weaknesses that we can exploit, and they aren’t a bunch of flopping wimps like this team was.

RE: Sams club game chat
fire these refs going to the video 20 times is failure
