What does that mean for Mayer?

Was wondering the same thing.

Regardless of outcome on the game, I believe that it’s awesome that Boyle County is playing St Edward! This is great for Boyle County and the rest of Kentucky as far as high school football fans are concerned. This game will only make Boyle better as the season continues, regardless of outcome. I might have to make a trip north for this game, haven’t been to St Edward in a long time.

So one last full season at the old field? Or will they play games at both this year?

I would think all games will be at Davis, I don’t see everything being done with that kind of time needed to be.

Can’t wait for the 2024 football season to get on its way! I believe that Dayton should have reasons to be excited about the season. Last season didn’t finish as strong as the 2022 season, but they still won a playoff game. They return some talent from last year’s team and have some new faces who should contribute fairly well. Once I have more information about this, I’ll share. 
 

As far as the new stadium is concerned, I know that the official groundbreaking being done by the school is scheduled for Friday, 4/29/24. I know that Greendevil Lane will no longer be used once the project is completed to drive on like previously. Once I have better pictures, I’ll upload onto here.

I know that Davis Field gets at least one more season for the one coming. If anyone is interested in catching a game from a neat old stadium, this might be the last one to do so. As I get more information, I’ll post on here.

I think that this was a good decision by UK. Whether things take time or not, this was a good choice in my opinion. It’s about being open to new things and change, which is more important now than ever and will remain a constant. I know different people were hoping for a bigger and more accomplished coach, but they aren’t as about the changes, particularly those who have been out of college basketball.

I’m going to say the 1990’s and 2000-2010. I believe that the nineties were great for the fans and crowds. Everywhere I watched or played was filled full of people. Even though the crowds started declining between 2000-2010, there was a lot seen offensively and other changes that took place. Of course changes have continued since 2010, but the two times I mentioned were my personal favorites.

I wasn’t sure specifically when or on what play, but it really did seem like Edey threw in the towel.

Impressive on both ends, nothing flashy just solid ball.

I think that’s what makes them even better. Many players and teams need to figure this out more.

I figured that UConn was going to repeat, which is very hard to do and even more so now than ever before. The Huskies really impressed me on both sides of the ball. Their winning record outside of the Big East has been amazing and obviously not so bad within it.

Purdue has played too fast. They have not played any zone D. They are doing everything U Conn wants them to do. 

No idea why Purdue hasn’t tried playing zone defense. Would have probably been their best chance.

Don’t know if it’s just me but I think Edey is starting to wear out. The game has gotten to more of an advantage for UConn as the game has gone on.

Purdue has played a pretty good game so far, but I think the more it stays at a faster pace that they might struggle more.

Edey is the best player on the floor at this point. I still think the rest of UConn is better than Purdue’s rest outside of Edey. If Edey becomes more limited with touches, I can see this getting further away for Purdue more easily.

I am happy about it too because the game is changing fast and I don't think Coach Cal is best suited for UK. 

I agree totally about the changes and him not being suitable for Kentucky. I just don’t see the jump from Lexington to Arkansas making much, if any difference for him.

If I was UK and if it was possible, I’d want Jay Wright above and beyond anyone.

When it comes to UK I am more of a casual/a little above average fan.  Why is this a good move for Coach Cal?

Even though I’m not a fan, I’ve wished them success outside of Louisville. Personally, I don’t see how the move is beneficial for him leaving Kentucky to go to Arkansas. I may be wrong, but don’t see it. I know that many UK fans are happy about it though.

I truly believed it was his time to go but I didn’t think it would happen this quickly.

Purdue also should look at playing zone defense. Keep Edey in the paint on defense. No open 3's for Spencer. Make other U Conn players hit 3's.

Doing this would improve their chances.

South Carolina’s bench was HUGE in this game and the difference maker. Caitlin Clark is the best female to play the game of college basketball. Even in losing, she has nothing to hang her head about. 

The bench for South Carolina was amazing today and a huge difference in the game’s outcome.

I think UConn wins this without much trouble. I believe that UConn will have too much for Purdue to handle as a team. The matchup between the bigs of both teams may be fun to watch, but I think UConn has too much of an upper hand in all other areas. I think that the Huskies win by at least ten and probably more.

UConn is just good in so many ways. Alabama played a hell of a tournament and played the Huskies far better than many expected and gave UConn their toughest test between this tournament and last year’s tournament. The game was much better than the final score indicated if you didn’t watch. UConn has many ways to win for sure.

This game is so much better viewing than the first game was. That was a snooze fest.

Totally agree, first game was boring.

Entertaining game. This has been the most UConn has been pushed this tournament and last years tournament.

South Carolina is better as a team overall but I think Iowa wins due to having Caitlin Clark.
