Cal allowed him to stay on the bench and use up NIL money and UK resources.

You realize they can’t remove NIL money once it’s signed based on playing time, etc. right?

One option would be to allow the regional winner and runner-up to attend the tournament.  That would increase the field to 32 teams with a draw format.  No way that anyone should want to have the format set up like the current football playoffs.  There are too many classes in football and should only be the top teams in their districts with the possibility of a wild card for a few teams. 

 

This seems crazy too. It blows my mind every year in KY that teams lose in the postseason (districts) and advance. 

I haven't followed as much as I've laughed at the memes, but I agree... something is off.

Does size matter?

My ex says “yes… you never want to go too big!”

I heard Mo Egger saying that he believes if UC can get to the semi-finals of the Big 12 tournament, they are right on the bubble to make the NCAA tourney. He added if they make the Championship he thinks they're in for sure. They're a game or two away from doing exactly that. 

UC is interesting to me. I really don't feel like they should make it after their season if they fall short of hoisting the Big 12 trophy (which I don't think they do), but if they manage to make the tournament, I think they're a team that see's a second weekend. 

Just so many games they fell just short in this year. Have they learned to finish close games? 

Would UL go after Sean Miller? Pat Kelsey is the mid-major that came to my mind, but he's only been mentioned once here.

Allowing 95 ppg???    Are you sure your number is right there.

Off by about 16 ppg. UK is averaging just under 90 points per contest.

For informational purposes, may I share the actual stats:

Giving up 79.1 per game.

Scoring 89.6 per game.

I can’t believe you all are going to let actual facts get in the way of a baseless, biased and ridiculous statement.

That’s ridiculous, but whatever it takes to win. Have to respect it.

Agree. Just the same as I feel about Dixie staying in the zone. If it helps your team and is within the rules, good for you.

This isn’t elementary school basketball. You do what it takes to win. And you don’t let the underdog dictate the style of play.

That’s what I was thinking. “Hey, let’s switch out of the defense that’s literally keeping us in the game”

If you call 19wins and 42 loses a good job. That isn’t up to normal New Cath standards. 

To be fair to coach, neither are the NewCath rosters in recent memory. Takes talent to win at a good clip.

Everything went the Cats way today, could have beaten the Celtics!! Gave up 95 points again defensively but that’s just what they do. So Auburn missed over 15 uncontested shots and Ky got the win, Cats blow a 15 pt lead vs LSU and got beat, until the defense gets better and they take better care of leads, I’m not getting excited about their chances in tourney play, today’s game will never happen again, actually yesterday’s game.

95 points isn’t ideal, but there were a ton a quick possessions yesterday too, giving the opponent more possessions. They’ll always score more in that scenario.

With that said, you can’t give up 50+% shooting and win consistently.

Sometimes sports stats are just weird, and I love it. 

The Bearcats could easily mess around and see a Sweet 16.

That is laughable, he is plenty athletic and his competitive instincts are second to none, Wagner is lacking in both of those things you mentioned.

You said DJ Wagner is lacking in athleticism lol…

Reed starting was a no brainer, and yes, it was the answer to more stability and less turnovers, wins haven’t came but Wagner definitely needs to come off the pine.

Welp… I wasn’t sure how much credibility you had left but you threw it away suggesting Sheppard starts over a fully healthy Wagner.

When your head coach says he’s too good to change things for the good of his team, then very plain and simple he needs to go home!!!!!!

No one said this lol

Reds add two decent pieces that will address their greatest need and it’s radio silence… I get it now.. we only post when it’s time to complain.

Signing out.

Cardinals are picking up pitching left and right.   And the Reds....Well, they are considering kicking the tires on Shane Bieber, who spent part of last season on the IL with arm issues.   This team doesn't hit consistently enough to win every game 12-10.

I mean is simply adding pitching enough? They haven't added a ton as far as quality pitching. They added Sonny Gray, who will likely be their #1 and he had a couple of stints on the IL last year too. I'm all about them adding quality, not simply adding pitching. I'm certainly not for them signing a guy for 80m (up to 100m) that has proven back issues.

Once they are up and rolling, yes. No chance he goes and coaches a year or two of JV football.

Baseball had 3 teams that won over 100 games win a COMBINED 1 game in the postseason!!

Castellanos first player in MLB history to have back to back multi homer games in the postseason!!!  Wanted to stay in Cincy but we wouldn’t even make an offer!!

He didn't want to stay too badly because the money (no judgment here) outweighed his desire to play here so he opted out of his last 2 years. The Reds did extend an offer, he turned it down. Was a formality of an offer, sure, but still an offer. 

If the Reds would have been paying him the 20 million he made last year you would have griped about the down year, 13 homers and .263 average just like everyone has about Votto all these years.

They was 6-4 that year. 

They were. With a season opening loss to a state runner up NCC team, a Conner team with one of the better rosters they’ve ever had, a really good Boone Co. team, and they had a pretty bad loss to Ryle.

I followed that SK team closely. Had family on that team. They had one of the best QB’s in school history, an SEC caliber player at RB, a lineman that went to Ball State and actually played as well as one of the best LB groups in the state.

Let’s not pretend that 08 team and this team are remotely the same.

However, even that year they went to the state final (huge accomplishment) and lost 48-0 in a running clock situation to the clear favorite. 6A wasn’t “wide open” that year either.

Yeah, but SK was good then.
