It's a shame Rupp can't be like it was Saturday night for all home games. When Rupp is "on" it's such a homecourt advantage. I was on Pope (as most were) early in the season and quite frankly UK was not good early on. I will say that Pope is doing a great job pulling this group together and they (the Coaches) are obviously figuring this group out and playing to our strengths. Oweh (even though at times can be frustrating with some flippant attitude) is a bucket when he gets downhill, and is starting to be the leader we all thought he would be from the start. It's fun to watch this group grow. This team reminds me of the Brandon Knight (Jorts, Liggins) team from Cal's second year. They were bad early, but got in a grove...figured out their roles and Knight led them to the final 4. Maybe we can make a similar run this year.

Danville with the proverbial 1 game beat you twice. Tough to comeback after an emotional crosstown let down.

Its amazing what hitting shots can do for a team. If this team can keep some consistency from 3 they will continue to improve. Oweh is one of the best down hill drivers in college basketball...if the lane is open that's a great recipe.

I am hoping to get a nap in before the game 🙂

Maybe this is a passive aggressive response to being in the playoffs, allowing a former coach to pick and choose who would coach Ole Miss in the playoffs, all while recruiting their roster.

No, I am saying I don't think he is a one hit wonder and just got lucky.

He was the recruiting coordinator for Saban at Bama when they had some of their best rosters. He is a football lifer that has had the luxury of coaching at different levels of college football. So he brings an eye for talent in along with an understanding of how to develop his players/teams and it's been a good recipe for success.

The "unpredictables" take the floor again. They need this win!

So are they finishing the tournament on Sunday?

I agree with this, but I doubt he changes...I feel like he did the same thing with Williams last year. I think he has to look at playing Jelavich and Mo together. Mo and Garrison in the game together totally stalls the offense out...I would like to think Jelavic could play the high post passing big man like Moreno is currently doing a great job of... I don't watch college basketball outside of UK...but Moreno has to be one of the most improved players from start of season to now in college basketball. His feel for the game and IQ are really impressive.

If you have a billionaire alum who wakes up one day and says "let's go fund a great program"...anything can happen.

McDaniel and Harbaugh...the need an NFL pre season series the "Odd Couple".

Very few HS jobs in the state are worth packing up your family and moving...especially if you are a well taken care of assistant at good programs.

To me this is a typical KHSAA move. Get everyone up in arms about what could happen. Make minimal changes...allow schools to move up (which theoretically moves schools down) next cycle (they change this up every 10 years or so)...threaten intra district play (Look Coaches things could be worse if you complain too much). The haves will keep on having (saying you all need to work harder and invest more) and have nots will keep on struggling/complaining ( we don't have the resources to compete). No matter what the change is...this will keep on happening!
