I say no to additional replay. With that being said, I don’t think Bruce Pearl even caught the double dribble so even if there was expanded replay or a challenge system, I don’t think Pearl challenges it.

There is standing up for your teammates and then there is going overboard. What if the pitch actually would have hit him? And yes, he did look terrible on that D round ball.

And you have no idea what happened or what was said in the scuffle that may have caused Puig to go off. Or do you? I’ll hang up and listen.

People are now upset that Puig stood up for his teammates? The man just can’t win with some people.

The foul call was 100% correct.

They missed the double dribble on Jerome though.

Going to Cancun in early June for a wedding (my first Time our of the country) and going straight from there to Hilton Head for a family in-law vacation (my first time there).

Still figuring out honeymoon destination but we are looking at Bar Harbour, ME or somewhere like Wyoming.

Thanks for the numbers. Quite a spike this year.

 

What's the downside of that many players taking advantage of being a grad transfer?

I don’t have the numbers (and don’t know where to find them) but I’m guessing many don’t actually get their grad degree. They are just using the system for another year of eligibility. The new proposal will hopefully push them towards getting the grad degree.

Charged this morning with Making False Statements to Federal Officer.

 

This is one of the weirdest stories I’ve ever encountered.

I saw that he told officials he did this to get away from his own family and that Timmothy's seemed a lot better than his own dad.

Dude, you're 23... You can get away from your own family without impersonating a missing child.

Grad Transfers in Men’s NCAA basketball:

2011- 15

2012- 25

2013- 39

2014- 55

2015- 68

2016- 87

2017- 94

2018- 124

Sounds from the article that Cal agrees with the rule, or atleast he did a few years ago. Hard for UK fans to say the NCAA is out to get them if that’s the case.

The rule itself seems to have come straight from the mouth of Kentucky Coach John Calipari, who suggested to ESPN in 2016 — long before the committee began its work — that “if the kid gets his grad degree in one year, fine; if he doesn’t, you’ve got to use the scholarship for two years.”

UCLA reached out to UK and requested to talk to Cal. When they did, they offered him less money than he's making now. :lol2:

I researched that because it made no sense to me. The extension Cal signed in 2017 is for $8 million a year (same as UCLA’s offer). The $9.2 million figure he’s making this year has to include bonuses I would believe.

Well UK just offered Cal a lifetime contract so hopefully fans are happy with him.

And you would be wrong!

Would I? Maybe for you but I guarantee there are some that fit that scenario.

:lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

 

Yall never disappoint.

I think some are more excited Duke lost than they are upset that UK lost.

UK’s defense seems to be keeping Auburn in check so far. Hmmm.

I guess I’m confused. Are you saying they’re equal over the last 10 years or not?

Someone said in another thread that Gonzaga is on par with UK over the past 10 years. I think Hatz’ first post was in jest of that.

So they are on par with UK this year? Disagree whole heartedly.

How much of Houston did you watch this year?

Do you understand sports? You do understand that it does matter how good the other team is right?

 

We saw in college football last year that Ohio State could put up 60+ in some games. Why didn’t they do that every game? They could do it so why didn’t they? I bet it has something to do with the other team and playing defense..

Hmmm so a defensive oriented team advances. Imagine that, it is possible.

I bet Gonzaga and their fans would be happy to “just win” in this one.

The point that seems to be missed is that Houston is a good team and was one of the better ones in the country this year. Apparently that doesn’t matter though.

It doesn’t matter how good Houston is. UK should be better than they played. Bottom line.

The missed delay of game penalty was a killer for Memphis. Mike Singletary had every right to be upset about the non-call. That was abysmal.

I’ve read this thread as a non-UK fan and I can’t help but laugh. UK played some good teams lately in the tournament and did what matters, win. Apparently though we should ignore how good the other teams are and UK should win the Larry O’Brien trophy.

So what's up with Reddish?

Felt knee pain in warmups and had a limp. They decided to sit him right before tip.

There was a pretty clear view from the baseline of the Purdue player's heels being off the ground and not on the sideline when he shot. I'd be interested in seeing the picture you're referencing.

Yeah I saw nothing in any of the angles they showed that makes me think he was out of bounds. He did a great job of keeping his heels up. I too would like to see the picture he’s referencing.

I will be down for the block party but heading out before gametime.
