After the game last night, they were interviewing Theo Pinson and he said something like "We staying at a nice hotel, I got a nice bed, I want to extend my stay!"

Turns out it was fake but they felt it bit Mizzou in the ass.

Sexton is alright talking trash a little, as long as he backs it up.

I didn't bet on A&M, not because I didn't want to but I didn't want to open up an online account. Growing up our Barber was out bookie who lived 3 houses up. You just called him on the phone.

That was simpler.

Just about all of the bookies I know take their bets online, but payments are done in cash when you hit your number.

And they'd have to order it. Fuck that shit, I said, that's un-American. I went to Ferguson Plumbing Supply today and got a length of hose that did the job for $3. Sang fucking Little Pink Houses on the way home.
it starts with $3 hoses, it works up to 5 horsepower 26 gallon air compressors with no end in sight

Just be glad you don't live nearby or I would be borrowing your tools and asking for your guidance on all my home and auto repairs, of which there are many.

Sexton put the team on his back again. Gonna miss him next year.

Face eCat's Kentucky team tomorrow. We don't match up well.

Except our best rebounder is out with an ankle sprain

I guess we have a chance tonight, but Duke is much improved and much more seasoned than when we beat them in our first meeting. Maye and Berry have been horrendous of late, so hopefully they're due for a breakout game, but Marvin Bagley is a combination of Antawn Jamison and Anthony Davis. Haven't seen a raw talent like him in awhile. Kid is 18 years old (OK, he turns 19 next week, but still), should be a senior in high school (sweet jesus,,imagine that) but reclassified. Not to mention Duke's other NBA ready freshmen, as well as the hated, but begrudgingly admitted talented senor Grayson "Day Tripper" Allen. Hopefully he has an off night but I don't see how Bagley and Co. (four of Duke's top 5 players are freshmen) can all be off. Maybe I'm just demoralized from the game last weekend, the one where we were up, what?, 13 points a few minutes into the second half and ended up losing by 10. Outscored by 23 points in 17 minutes. Jesus fucking christ. We better be hitting on all cylinders to have a chance. Hate to say it, but I just hope we don't get embarrassed...

We nearly gave that game away.

I need a Xanax and some scotch.

Carolina should have smoked Dook, but I’ll take it.

Does my old friend from the old board still post here? This one is for you, sir, Old Man Whitman's thoughts on space notwithstanding.

Even though I still think Duke has a better shot than pretty much any other team to win it all, it's still nice to read an article about why they won't, esp. when it includes UK sassery...

"Duke will be the most talented team in the field. Ask any coach in the ACC. Ask any NBA scout. Ask any guy at the corner bar. But talent doesn’t win the NCAA tournament, as Kentucky’s John Calipari has won plenty of signing days and draft nights and still managed to take home a lone NCAA title to Lexington. (And that was with the No. 1 and No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, plus a crew of sturdy veterans.)"

We have three players who were injured in the Auburn game who may not play. Donta Hall, who flipped over an Auburn player in the second half and landed hard on his back, Daniel Giddens and 6-9 Alex Reese. Even if one or two of them are able to, they will be limited.

Kentucky is double teaming Sexton pretty much once he crosses the half court line

Good strategy, evidently...

KY's dozen 5 star players are gonna take us behind the woodshed tomorrow.

We have a 4 star but he's from France so he's never allowed to dribble or shoot.

Don't think so....... Rocky Top has the experience (and coach) and UK has the talent (supposedly). UT by 5. Will be the first time in history that Tennessee beats UK 3 times in one season in basketball.
