If you team is NOT in the tournament, then I expect that every one of you here will be rooting for our Arizona Wildcats in each of their games. That is all.

Dude, again, there's like 5 people here, who are you talking to? And I'd never pull for Arizona under any circumstances, they've beaten Carolina in the FF twice and I remember both of those games very well. They went on to beat UK in the finals after one of those, so I doubt you're going to find eCat pulling for Arizona either. I didn't even pull for them when they were playing Duke for the championship a few years later, although in retrospect I have to admit I wish they'd won that game. But I couldn't genuinely pull for them...

[eCat]

yea fuck Arizona, Lute and Miles Simon

That Arizona team was beyond lucky. They caught KU on KU’s worst night of the year and UNC during its worst night from outside all season.

That hack who guarded Jamison can eat shit and die

Hopefully Arizona can repeat that luck, this year?

Yeah, that was a heart-breaker last night. Furman's coach lives four doors down from me. Chattanooga was the better team, but Furman had a chance to steal one. Outside of golf, Furman doesn't get alot of opportunities in sports like this.

And so March Madness begins....

Oscar Tschiebwe is Sporting News National Player of the year.

Chance he comes back next year as his pro prospects are good but not great , and he has a very large NIL deal mapped out for next year.

[hedge]

Who does he play for?

[eCat]

The name on the front , which is rare

kid is very likable. My second favorite player under Cal.

[hedge]

Who's #1? Rex Chapman?

[hedge]

The kid with the moustache? I know that doesn't narrow it down much when you're talking about the history of UK basketball, but you know who I'm referring to...

[eCat]

fuuuuuuck no

Rex Chapman is the most polarizing UK player ever. A bunch of people hate his ass.

Plus that was a million years ago. I said under Cal.

You are thinking of Richie Farmer. He was popular - The Unforgettables revived UK's program from the ashes with Pitino

[hedge]

I was kidding about Chapman. So who's your favorite under Cal? I was going to say Pink Panther (the guy I had that years-long battle with Crow about over who had the better NBA career b/w him and Dunleavy), but he was under Tubby...

[eCat]

DeMarcus Cousins

I know he isn't well liked outside of UK, but he loved being at UK and brought alot of excitement to the program after that shitshow with Gillispie

[DooKSucks]

I doubt Bacot comes back. He has maxed out his pro potential and absent some seven figure NIL deals, he should go earn some money.

Love is probably gone too, but he is starting to show some progression and another year of development would go a long way.

We are going to suck next year without those two and Manek, but I am thinking it will be along the lines of NIT bad and not 8-20 bad because I think Black will be back and because Davis has shown a lot of progress. If we reach the tournament next year — which I doubt happens — then Davis will have proven himself as a coach.

I would have loved to have had Manek for all four years. He and Bacot are the two most likeable kids we have had the last few years.
