Yep, just beat OU and LSU. Get to 9-9. That should be a Top 5 seed guaranteed.
Alabama, Auburn, Missouri I don't feel great about at all.

Anytime you can lose to a good team by 7, you’ve got to be incredibly proud of that.
Was Z a fake tough guy last year too and we just overlooked it? I've seen him get T'd up taunting and standing over people multiple times the last couple weeks.
If I had to live in Fayetteville, I'd be angry too.
That’s one hell of a turnaround by Gates/Mizz this year. From 8-24 and no SEC wins to 20-6 this season. Yea Kelsey has done similar but in the worst conference in CBB
No, he was too food poisoned for several months to get very agitated.
Based on nothing more than his goofy *** facial expressions, I think Z is kinda dumb.
I love that all of the concern (albeit mostly reserved) about playing Perry, Noah, and Chandler in critical minutes early in the season has been 100% washed away over the past couple of weeks.
Pope basically demands trust in his system by how frequently he's correct. A nice little cherry on this Jerry's hot fudge sundae of a season.

They have all had their moments, and I am quite excited to see how they continue to develop the next 3 years, but if we are relying on them come tournament time like the last 2 games then it’s been a fun year.
The experience Perry and Noah are getting now will pay huge dividends in years to come. At the beginning of the year, I had significant doubts about Perry ever being able to play the point in the SEC at any time in his career.
Fast forward a few months and he's currently the starting point guard on a top 20 team and learning on the fly under the tutelage of maybe the best pure point guard we have had since Tyler Ulis. Noah is having a similar arc. Can't wait to see those guys as upperclassmen.
I would still love Perry to get min off the ball. I want him to hunt his shot. He’s never gonna be able to go around anyone on the dribble.

He got crammed on last week and fall to the ground like the poon he is
- It was nice to see Ashland's own Collin Chandler come alive last night. He has the athleticism to be a solid honk for us down the road.
- William J Wildcat is going to be walking around with permanent wood next year with all those Kentucky boys on the court
- I’m as pro Travis Perry as there is and really wanted a Perry/Sheppard back court. Regardless of how dumb that sounds if you thought Perry would struggle to EVER play ball in the SEC you couldn’t have watched him much.
Kid was never the Josh Carrier/Jon Hood type.
I’d say he could be our Damon Bailey but I get why people may have doubts on that.
- I wish the SEC Tournament started today.
USC—-Ole Miss——into Auburn. I’d take that draw. Despite realizing how good Auburn is I think we match up well with them with Butler healthy.
- If I had to choose a team to make a real run this March from the SEC I’d say Mizzou or UF. Both teams are just really strong at everything. Auburn is too obvious so I avoid picking them.
- If Pearl doesn’t win it all this year he has to go to IU and they have to make it happen. I like Beard more but you have to give Pearl the nod and I’ll hate that damn place again like I did growing up.
College basketball could go full circle as far as my life time goes and that’s just a surreal thought for me, but I’d kind of like UK/UL/IU to be the center of college basketball again personally.

The fact that Pearl had to emphatically wave his arms multiple times to get the home crowd to stand up and make noise in the last few minutes of a close game should tell him all that he needs to know about coaching at a “football” school. If were him I’d jump at Indiana and the chance to turn that program around.
The single funniest moment, of many, on that show is when Toby walks in and Michael makes his finger go limp.

Damon Bailey was one of the top recruits in the country since he was an 8th grader.
No, he wasn't. He achieved recognition because Knight started recruiting him when he was in 8th grade.....huge difference.
Travis Perry has a huge upside if he grows a few inches, gains speed, and can guard better than you....slight edge to you at this stage big guy. Knocking down a few 3's here and there isn't exactly all-SEC worthy. He'll be recruited over anyway the next couple of years but should prove valuable off the bench.
Not trying to compare eras but I have my reasons for the comparison and it isn’t because of the recruiting ranking or hindsight production of Bailey.
I realize how good he was in 1990, but I also remember 5’9 Travis Ford torching his *** as a JR/SR too, and I realize Perry’s challenges.
I believe in time the comparison will be closer than it is today, especially as Perry grows comfortable and confident.

Sports Illustrated named him the top 9th grader in the country. Sorry I was off a year, f*ckface.
Damon Bailey is and was a turd.
Damn straight. ACC COY, NC game. Holler back one day whenever you get back to the big dance finale....whatever decade that may be.

Top 9th grader doesn't equal "top recruits in the country"
You wanna call a friend or use another lifeline for your next try, there chunky?
Are you shitting me? Are you seriously that f'n stupid? He was a top recruit, you dumb bastard. He became a McDonald's All-American. So what the F are you talking about about, you Trump taint licking ****?!
Do us all a favor and vacation in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico for life, you half goblin, half troll looking douchebag!
A trip down a slide of blades into a pool of alcohol is more enjoyable than your company. Please disappear forever.
This is what I don't understand about you, if a player is rated as the top 9th grader in the country, it's essentially saying he's the best player in his class.
Is he better than the class of seniors 3 years ahead of him? No. But he's the best 9th grader according to that ranking. Consider it like pound for pound rankings. A featherweight may be more skilled than light heavyweights, but he isn't winning that fight.
I swear, if it takes nuance or holding a thought for more than 2 seconds, your takes just immediately **** themselves.
Can we get back to this “tubby let Nolan Richardson watch a practice” discussion? Can anyone provide actual legitimate details of this?
It was widely reported, including in the Lexington Herald-Leader, iirc.
Nolan was retired, he and Tubby were friends, Tubby trusted him and let him watch practice, then Nolan reported details to UAB coach Mike Anderson, who was Nolan's protege.
Kind of crappy of Nolan, but also kind of dumb / naive of Tubby, I guess.
Hey UKO, how much are you expecting 19-year old Travis Perry to grow over the next few years? Think he can get to 6'6?
I pissed next to Nolan at Nationwide Arena during the game. Knowing what I know now I would have splashed that mofo
