Duke/MSU UK/KU

[Flacusian]

It's really annoying when ESPN shows a replay highlighting blocked shots and one of them is clearly a goaltend that was obvious at live speed and Jay Bilas, who I normally respect, doesn't even bother to mention it.

What happens when 8 guys go pro from KY at the end of the year?

1o more 5 star Mikey D All Americans will be lined up ready to take the money with one hand and sign the letter of intent with the other. Cal gets whoever he wants at this point.

They arguably have 2 top 10 teams on one roster. It's obscene if you are a potential opponent.

I don't. Not a golfer. Once I have to give up basketball permanently, then I'll start playing golf.

Sigh. I used to say the same thing. : /

Why not? This Kentucky team has at least 5 1st round picks on its team. These guys will all be playing/starting in the NBA next year. WHy would it be crazy to think that they could beat a team that starts:

Nerlens Noel
Henry Sims
Luc Rachard Mba moute
MCW
Tony Wroten

For the same reason Bama (or whoever) wouldn't beat the jets.

I was jk with the clown stuff, but nfw that would happen.

No, not a chance.

I'm so disappointed in you for not knowing this quote...

I mean our d is better than teams like msu/Kansas.

How do you judge our defense and compare them to MSU and Kansas when we've played teams like Hampton and Kennesaw St. and they've played two of the best teams in the country?

 

[bballbeadle]

Ultimately, will evil triumph over good? That's the REAL question this season.

It's going to happen sooner rather than later. My 45-year old hips are calling out the end.

Football is a whole different animal. Hell, the dream team lost to a collegiate all star team.

 

[AZOrange]

So basically Kentucky has two top 5 teams on one team. Geezuz

Kansas is a little down too methinks.

Yep, Caddyshack reference goes whoosh!

Too many reasons to list. I'll take 6'ers -20

And some mid-major will face the NCAA penalty for it.

Seriously though, won't those Mickey D players need to sign their LOIs before all 10 players in these two "platoons" declare?

My bad. I'm getting tired here.

...much like my 43 year old knees, on which I've had 5 arthroscopies and an ACL reconstruction...

Oh come on. Scrimmages are silly. A game a
For all the marbles pro vs college would be a 20 point game min.

Ouch. I think I remember you saying that before. I play with a guy who has bone on bone in both knees. I have no idea how or why he keeps playing, but he does limp pretty much all the time when walking.

I'm sure I'll need at least one plastic hip in the future. Hope you don't face the same type of issue with the knees.

 

[AZOrange]

System stuff. I've never seen a zone team so freakishly long.

 

[weepeel]

Cal is giving them prime time tournaments and playing 10 deep..very easy recruiting pitch

 

[supp]

Greenberg wants to say the platoon is a gimmick but he's gotta stay on message. The biggest advantage of the platoon is that Calipari has somehow managed to convince kids who could help other squads beat him to sit on his bench instead. The "wearing other teams out" stuff is overrated. Kansas finished the half on a 11-3 run.

Gave you a like for your awesome Mega Powers avatar.

Perhaps, but KY would push around many of our front line guys based on what I've read here. I like Mike G and Roberson, but those two wouldn't be able to keep Kentucky off the offensive boards.

Maybe...I'm not as in love with kentuckys bigs as most are. I'm more concerned about Duke.

Kentucky looks filthy good. Tall, athletic, skilled, and plucky even...
