Providence mascot is disturbing...

I would be worried as hell right now, but the odds tracker has us as an 87% favorite, so I'm not worried...

Is it punching that guy in the face?

There's 99% probability everyone in here wish you were in hell right now.

Odds tracker is saying we're a 99% favorite right now, but I'm not feeling it...

Correct answer is Two Elite Eights and a Sweet 16. And a great chance at another title this year, no doubt.

Shit, everybody is taking recruits away from Chapel Hill right now. The next 2-3 years look pretty bleak for UNC, even without NCAA sanctions, since the last 2 recruiting classes are shit (including the incoming one). Of course, if UNC wins it all this year, that will assuage the regular assbeatings that loom but if not, I don't expect much from that program until that shoe drops and recruits start coming back.

Winning an NC has a way of enticing recruits....

Are they playing basketball or dancing??

BAM!

So, who is leaving this year on UK's roster?

Poythress , Murray for sure

Skal I hope but he'll probably be told to stay - it won't work out well for him because he is being recruited over and he couldn't get time on the floor over Marcus Lee this year much less a group coming in after him.

Cal has said Ulis should go pro this year and the SEC POY would probably motivate him to test the waters.

Willis,Lee, Humphries, Hawkins and Matthews will be returning I assume. Lee has peaked - he'll never be more than a dunker/blocker, Willis could be what Wiltjer wanted to be if he can learn to defend and Cal would have a hard time taking minutes away from him. Matthews is a good defender, Hawkins is a serviceable backup PG. Humphries has his moments and should be a better version of this year but he'll get less time next year. Everyone but Willis will probably get less time next year.

Willis is a Kentucky boy sorta - he actually grew up on an Indian reservation and he's sat on the bench for 2 years waiting to break in this year on a less talented team. I'm not sure he'll have the stomach to play less next year if that is how its shaping up. His father has been - not really vocal, but engaged on Willis' progress and they accepted him playing behind NBA bound players his first 2 years.

Projected Roster

F / C - Marcus Lee

F / C - Isaac Humphries

F / C - Tai Wynyard

F - Bam Adebayo

F - Sacha Killeya-Jones

F - Wenyen Gabriel

F - Derek Willis

G - Malik Monk

G - De'Aaron Fox

G - Isaiah Briscoe

G - Mychal Mulder

G - Dominique Hawkins

G - Charles Matthews

If Ulis was playing on any other team except Kentucky, he'd be back for his junior year, but Calipari is pushing him out of the program to satisfy his own ego of puttiing X number of players in the pros each year. Kentucky would be the overwhelming choice to win it all next year if Ulis returns, but Calipari would rather put his 'ego' above another championship banner. Can't wait 'till Cal goes pro himself.

so Cal is pushing the SEC POY, contender for NPOY and the PG who broke John Walls single season assist record to the pro's when he isn't ready?

Just a reminder of how poor a bench coach Calipari is, how many coaches could have this much talent on their roster and only win 1 National Championship??
