Still no nerves for this game....generally a bad sign. My gut must be expecting a loss

I think you may need to look up the meaning of the word rumor...

well reasoned hedge. I also think the NCAA is running scared right now - with the impending unionization of NCAA athletes and the threat of major conferences (i.e., SEC, assorted BIGs, etc.) saying there isn't much to stop them from breaking away from the governing body, I think they're terrified to...

I have not chimed in on the UNC AF-AM scandal, and won't after this. Mainly because I've tried to remain non-hypocritical my entire life and, you know, people in glass houses should not throw stones. As someone who lived through SI's Kentucky Shame cover, I think my silence should speak for itself. ...

Grant is a trendsetter - UK ran that offense quite a bit this year

yeah, the unique to Cal thing is ridiculous. Outside of a pure isolation/pick and roll offense, the dribble-drive is closest to NBA. None of these OADs wanna run the Wisconsin Swing, or Bobby Knight's Motion, or the Flex that requires screening and moving without the ball as opposed to taking the ba...

It is most definitely a simple offense - virtually no screening at all. But, with the right personnel, it can be extremely effective - especially against pack line defense

Actually, the dribble-drive is a base offense predicated on four ball-handlers/shooters and a single post man who sets up on the opposite block of the ball for lobs. It's an three-option offense - penetrate to the rack, kick out for the three or lob for the dunk. When the ball is kicked out, if a th...

That was a helluva game and a helluva win. The kittens are growing up - now if Cal can just be convinced to keep most (if not all) of them around for another year... Wichita State was for real - that was a damn good team and Early was unconscious. Haven't been this happy with a UK win in almost two ...

I'll take it but we lose by double digits on Saturday. Dumbest basketball team I can remember in a long time. Every possession is treated like it's an AAU game in July. Cal can recruit, but he is a below average coach - both in player development, team philosophy and in-game strategy. Still, rather ...

what's with the phone number verification bullshit? No way do I want to get telemarketing text messages

Maybe it's time to stop putting so much stock in recruiting "experts" who rate players based on AAU tournaments where team basketball is a novelty. If not for all the hype, UK fans wouldn't be so frustrated - this is a young team that has no idea how to play 40 minutes of team basketball. ...

Mr. Farmer -savior of KY basketball and has his jersey retired if I recall - wonder what he is doing now? Probably not trying to drop the soap!! Some pipe hitting brother from Louisville is probably Rupping his arena as we speak. Damn you would think he would learn a lesson about being from Kentuck...

How can UI even be in the disussion of the elite programs like UK, UNC, Dook and Kansas when they rush the floor every time they beat a directional school......wait....hasn't UNC, Dook and Kansas rushed the floor also?? Hmmmm...guess Kentucky is the only one that can be labeled 'elite' since they'v...

Yes.

And thanks, aTm for the correction - that is what I meant

What year did it click for Kenny Anderson? Year 5 or 6? I honestly don't remember, and that's who Dalton reminds me the most of. Hoping he reaches that ceiling.

Meh, I can be indifferent on the kids rushing the court at IU. Whatever. Shit, if I was them I would rush after every win. Even against UT Saint Mary Nurse College in early November. Just keep doing it. Funny how UK fans bitch about bad calls when usually when they are at home, they usually make mo...

Tried this recipe and it's the best pulled pork I've ever eaten.
