Voice of Reason

I am with guru on this. We have some great looking teams at the top in 2A. Beechwood looks really good, but LCA has been everyone's favorite, looks unbeatable, etc. for how many years? And how many titles do they have? Going to be a really fun season in 2A.

Here are current favorites and odds: Fierceness 3-1 Sierra Leone 9-2 Forever Young 7-1 Catching Freedom 8-1 Just a Touch 11-1 Honor Marie 12-1

Good outing by Hunter Green.

This thought came to mind as I was watching the Orlando Cleveland playoff game tonight. Half the players in that game I didn't recognize or had almost forgotten about. Who do you think is the best NBA player that people don't think about as a great player?

I think things are going to get heated as the playoffs go on. The refs are really letting a lot go. Feels like they are walking an emotional tightrope.

Really good guy who has made a major impact in the N. Ky. river cities.

Fouled at 11 seconds. Did not foul the next two times the 76ers touched the ball. Again, mistake by the players because the coach wanted them to foul.

You like living in the past and I disagree with you most of the time on that, but I am with you 100% on the striped warmups.

Background?

If we include conference tournaments, Pope has performed better. But you are right about the NCAA tournament.

Fixed it for you. Feel free to post in any school's thread.

We are only talking about the past 3-6 years. I agree a tall order to expect anyone to equal what Cal accomplished in his entire tenure at UK.

But it is close to being better than Cal over the past 6 seasons, and that is the question at hand in this discussion.

I would be interested in seeing the foul or don't foul stats for the NBA with timeouts allowing teams to advance the ball to half court and other factors. My guess is foul with 4 seconds or less up by 3, versus 8 seconds in college.

Not enough talent. I think with better talent at UK, he will deliver. And the bar set by Cal over the past 6 years is not that difficult to exceed. For what it's worth, Pope won 68% of his regular season games and was 7-8 in post season games at BYU.
