    Honestly, a worse hire than BCG…

    The program was also left for dead and on probation and nobody credible was willing to take the job.

    BB: James Madison Gameday - Friday

    UK favored by 25.5 points. Pope's teams don't have a great track record covering this type of game, though. Already 0-1 ATS this year, too. ($)

    Any Basketball Recruiting updates

    I think the transfer heavy option is fine. Pope has had horrible injury luck. We cannot forget that Jaxson Robinson was a REALLY GOOD player and we didn't have him in the Sweet 16 game. Also had Lamont Butler, who was the team's true leader, playing with one arm. And other minor injuries, but...

    Zoom deleted his Instagram

    Kentucky isn't for everyone. I suspect the stage is too big for Zoom. Has a bit of that Ryan Harrow feel to it already.

    McBride at the 5

    Concur. Franck was a waste of a scholarship and whatever money we paid him.

    UK -11.5 vs. Vandy

    All I know is UK better not blow their season up by sleep-walking through this one after a couple of highly emotional games that are now generating national buzz and headlines that can cause a team to get cocky. Win and set up a MASSIVE national showdown in Knoxville.

    First Takes

    Tough seeing highlights and stats for BYU's backcourt and not wondering "what if" that was UK's .... Wright and Chandler will be a top 5 backcourt.

    First Takes

    I'm not saying now. I just see it in the way he moves, shoots, and defends. His block at the rim was elite, and typically that's a bucket or and-one against UK's interior. He's also still very inexperienced and young. Give it 2 years.

    First Takes

    Worthless first impressions from an exhibition: Zoom is who he was at Washington and is going to frustrate the hell out of us with bad turnovers. Mason Williams was underrated given that he was outside the top 100 and he is likely going to be a serviceable, impactful true freshman PG at a...

    JJ Taylor to UK?

    If he just wants to wear the jersey and be part of the program, learning how to be responsible and accountable this year on the bench, so be it. Why should we care? He isn't going to be a difference maker at this stage. He doesn't even know the regime, plays, etc. That said, it all seems like...

    Big Blue Madness

    Asked some IU friends, they didn't even know about it b/c it was just an open practice or something. Nobody was willing to drive to it.

    Big Blue Madness takeaways...

    My son looked it up while we were there, to put it in perspective, the most points in an NBA 3-pt contest was 31 by Steph Curry. Unguarded, it's *really* difficult to score that many points. (Granted, Madness offered the bonus ball.)

    Big Blue Madness

    As someone who has attended Madness since '95, not consecutively but throughout all coaching tenures since, I have some thoughts about last night. Overall, my honest take is it's time to re-boot the whole experience. Let me be direct: that was the least amount of energy in the building for a...

    CBS (Parrish) lifts Kentucky after Mitchell...

    Argument can be made that UK will have a top 2-3 frontcourt in the nation, especially if Ousmane turns out to be good (I'm talking much better than Jelavic and Big Z at UK). The question is how will the backcourt play under the lights. Biggest question mark, IMO.
