I really need to settle down.

Took draft kings up on the No Sweat bet and bet the max on the cats figuring worst case the bet is cancelled. Lol

My whole house screamed so loud it woke up the wife who was knocked out on Percocet and weed.

That was their first taste of “March” from me. Didn’t question my alcohol consumption or anything just had a blast with me and slapping g fives etc.

To give you an idea of how special it was 3/4 of my kids are so me they cheer for UL just to piss me off, lol, so the fact they were as excited for BIG BLUE as me and all in with me, I legit…….man that was something!

Im not usually all in in former players being the coach but I like Mark Pope. The guy is extremely smart, has done well, put his dues in and he would understand the tradition. Im not necessarily sold on Drew but he seems to be the one Mitch is smitten for. Not sure what that says for him, though.

Yep, I like Pope

I mentioned him last year and got roasted. Naturally proving himself another season’s worth is good for him.

That said, when it’s time and seeing how former players do at all schools I’d feel terrible if Pope was hired here eventually.

Just a no win for him, BUT he has that Pitino style in him and at the end of the day too many in my generation appreciate and respect that MOFO so it has a long shot of winning.

At the moment, it wouldn’t be worse than the guy running things!

If he sprouts to 6'5 and is able to guard someone (cue up Raftery man to man) then maybe he can be an Austin Reaves wannabee. Otherwise, you get to watch Jeff and Stacey on TV next year. Smart, great weak side defender, can shoot when open, but is slow as molasses and gets brutalized by bigger/stronger guards. Prototype D1 AA player....but top 15 is your worst homer take yet.

“Can shoot when open.”

Stolen from Reddit, and it's far from a perfect stat, but Reed Sheppard's +/- on the year is over 300 points better than D.J. on the season. We've played 28 games. He's north of +10 points a game better than D.J. on the season, a guy who many consider a first round lock. I mean, those are absolutely absurd #s.

Reed should have been leading the offense from day one and should only be on the bench in the event he's dead or fouled out.

Nope, the goal is March. What team is the best team in the tournament? If you can honestly say the best version of UK basketball in the NCAA Tournament is DJ Wagner playing 28 minutes per game and Rob Dillingham playing 16 mins a game then I'll let go of my ego.

I'm enjoying the win in the micro. In the macro there's still a lot of issues to get situated. This is 2/27/24. The end game is near.

Foul trouble and 3 really bad TO’s played a role in Dilly’s minutes tonight.

Wagner didn’t play perfect but he isn’t a defensive liability either so whatever. He is going to play, focus on that if you want to because clearly you do want to. But reality is this team can go regardless of who gets what minutes.

Tonight

Dilly 2-7 1-4 9 pts 2 assist 3 fouls
Wagner 3-5 2-4 10pts 4 assists 1 foul


Pretty sure Dilly’s turnovers were a factor too!
