No matter what talent level they are at now, I can guarentee you Brian Lane will develop them.

Brooks said it was the best first day of full pads at spring practice since he's been here. I am really excited about this season!

I never said we would be better with someone else I just question lots of his in game decisions.

Yeah he makes terrible in game decisions!! You've got ot joking right? He obviously doesn't know what he's doing, I mean he's only won 2 state titles.

Didja see 'em?

Yeah and I didn't like 'em one bit!!

Well I wasn't trying to come off that way. Sorry if I did, but those first two games ecspecially we didn't shoot to well, and against Oldham there wasn't any point in playing Bud and Matt in the second half.

Not complainig at all or anything. But how is it that both teams were shooting 1 and 1 in the first and the third quarters? A lot of nicky nacky stuff and then at times they would let them play. Very inconsistent. I can handle refs being consistently good or bad as long as the make the same calls all game, but if they change several times during the game thats bad officiating.

In the first round against Oldham Co. there was nothing wrong with sitting the starters in the 2nd half. Friday against Adair Co. they took us out of our game for a while and slowed down the pace. Add on top of that some poor shooting that'll do it. But playing down to their frist two opponets on purpose absolutely not. Sorry they couldn't win the Sweet 16 too convincingly for ya.

Wears his emotions on his sleeve. Nothing wrong with that. He must be doing something right with two titles.

There was a pep rally at the school after the game. I think every police car in G-town was escorting the buses to the school. I couldn't be any prouder of what this team has accomplished this year. But back to the game. Ballard is a very good defensive team. They play the hardest pressure defense I have ever seen. They trap the ball every time and force bad passes and get in the passing lanes. They palyed great defense this morning against Warren Central too.

Whats wrong with the job Mitch Barnhardt has done since he's been here? Football program on the rise, and baseball still up and coming. Personally I don't see a problem with the job he's done at all.

Will this maybe seem important enough for Moriss to roll out of bed for? He's chalanging this team's man hood and hopefully UK's bigs step up. After the kind of game he had at Rupp do ya'll think that warrants this type of a comment?

The Gauntlet that is the 11th Region!! Man I love this time of year!

I'll take the players we got right now. Whats the point in speculating what "could of been"?? IMO Perry, Thomas, and Orbzut are better options for us than Neltner. Brewer is a very good player but do you think Tubby would of predicted that he would of hit a 2-3 inch growth spurt at Florida?

You have to be kidding me. If all Neltner does is shoot 3's then he is a 53% 3 point shooter. I guess that's the same reason Lofton is in Knoxville. We need more defensive players who can't shoot. I have to admit it is hard to argue with the success that formula has had.

 

The 2 rebounds a game that Thomas gets are in traffic. That is noted.

How many times do we have to told that Tubby passed up on Lofton??? I thought it was annoying before but now it really is. Tubby and UK aren't the only ones that passed on him. Pretyy much every major D-1 program passed on him except Tennessee and they are now reaping their rewards in a great player. How many times are you going to use this argument?? It's getting old!

Markus Burchfield is a name to keep an eye on. He is only a sophmore and he can shoot the ball very well. Should be a solid player when he gets more game experience. SOunded like he provided a few solid minutes late in the game.

Hindsight is great for message board bashers huh? I would also like to say that Ross Neltner is a pile of garbage and i would take Sheray Thomas over him anyday. Sure it would be great to have Lofton and Brewer, but we have what we have and thats all that we have! Crying like a little schoolgirl will not change a thing.

:thumb: Yep.

You can't be mad at Sheray Thomas for lack of effort. This season and definitely the last month or so I haven't seen a player play and hustle and do all the little things better than he has. Just doesn't have the major high level talent that some unrealistic people would like for him to have. I am proud to have Thomas wearing that Kentucky jersey across his chest.

Without getting off topic or anything, what was the official reason for moving the SC student section? I'm just curious, not trying to start anything.

Listening to it on the radio sounded like Matt Walls had yet another clutch performance! (By the way 630 AM's play by play crew was awful!! The comish or whoever)

Ya'll are crazy. Let's say the staff could only take on walk on, who would it be? Walls or MJ's son? Jordan, a player that would probabally contribute nothing at all here vs. Walls who is a total complete player who just happens to live 10 minutes up the road? You are crazy if you take Jordan over Walls.

Pretty even matchup! Good stats guys!

Scott County has won by larger margins at their gym but I give credit to their fans ability to contest every call which doesn't go their way. It kind of wears on me over the course of a game so I imagine it might the officials also. SC will probably have an equal number or more fans on Saturday so it will seem more like a neutral site. The Cards are the best team in the state along with Ballard but they play a very intense style and foul a lot so I don't see why some of their fans think they get the short end of the stick from the officials. Coach Hicks does as good a job as any in trying to get officials to call it both ways (his way). I guess the only hope Catholic has is if we get the officials to help us. Thanks for the heads up.

Fans thank that at every single basketball game you can got to anywhere. Why just call out SC fans? Fans always think that refs are "cheating", or blowing the game. It's not just a SC thing. I promise you.

WOuld you all seriously take him as a walk on over a KY boy like Matt Walls or possibly Pettigrew??? Definitely not me. I don't care who's son he is, Walls and possibly Pettigrew are much better players.

And oh yeah don't forget about Matt Walls. He would be a great addition to this team. Even if he would be a practice player most of his career, he is much better than LeMaster and Carrier IMO.

How good could this team be with Bud Mackey in 2 or 3 years?? Very good!! Tubby should do everything in his power to make sure he doesn't go to Indiana! Bud can do it all. He had Mayo in check most of the night.
