Been a long winter in the bluegrass, I think everyone I looking forward to spring. But, feels like the season has flown by. Been a lot of fun watching these guys, hopefully a lot more is still to come. Let’s get a big win in CoMo today!
Last regular season day thread

It's gone by really quick. I think the SEC is such a brawl fest some of these games have just been not fun to watch. Most have, but a couple were just brutal. So maybe that's why it feels shorter. Dunno.
We need a win today to give us some good mo going into the SECT and NCAAT.
Sure has, in a way I feel cheated in what they could have been. I hope they rally and go on a furious run, time to bomb 3’s boys!
Pope's had a fun first season. Now let's take care of Mizzou to close it out.
And then another one because the 2nd doesn’t have “**” before and after the word officialThere will be another one because this one doesn’t say official.
Why are we ending the season at Missouri?
Looks like we have faired pretty well, but they have mostly been against rivals. Missouri is about the least rival school in my opinion.

Pope has done a good job, getting any type of team together from having no one. And he has beaten Duke, Gonzaga, TN twice, Florida. And I have no problem giving him 3 years to see if it's working. I do have some concerns that his positive re-inforcement nice guy approach has it's limits, and maybe sometimes he needs to kick some ***. I was giddy with excitement after Duke. I turned the TV off before halftime at home against Auburn. But the real truth will be in his post season runs, won't it.
One of the worst seasons in the sec for a first time coach......almost all the teams could beat any other on a given night.
"No Free Lunch" in the sec.
Im happy that we got to 20 wins. I know it doesn't mean as much but heck. You gotta be pretty good to win that many.
