he said he doesn’t have any animosity toward KY over the way things went down.Animosity toward Kentucky lol. Wish they would ask the hard questions like Cal were you negotiating with Arkansas behind Kentucky's back?
The important thing is that he’s no longer here!
Can you imagine if we both advanced enough to play again this year.......
yea or bring up the face we didn't make it past the 2nd round for 5 years which led to the divorce.
I think that hurts them more than it helps.
They didn’t start playing well until Fland and Thiero were off the court.
Agree about Fland but Thiero was there when they started playing well.
He’s just an Arkansas hick who used to coach at Kentucky I think.
I think it’s a case of the pieces he had left fit better when one of the ball dominant players were out. You have 3 ball dominant guys on the floor w Fland, Wagner, and Thiero and it takes minutes from The FAU kid and Richardson and knox…or it steals minutes from some of the forwards depending if you play big or small.
Having them all back, my prediction is their offense goes back to weave and drive under 10 on the shotclock
No animosity? No animosity for collecting millions while completely mismanaging and running our program into the ground?
Are you freaking kidding me?

What does this have to do with Lamont Butler’s shoulder? Why should we care?
McAfee looks like he smells like suntan oil and booze.
Who cares? Some people have Calipari envy around here. The only reason why he's even being discussed is the St John's couldn't make a few more shots. Sheesh! Go glad his clown show is in pig stye now
Been playing even better since Thiero went out. Playing Brazille and Aidoo together has made them tough to get to the rim against and Brazille is shooting lights out from 3. Cal's lucky guys have got hurt or he would still be force feeding Fland and Thiero into the lineup and they would have never had this improvement.
No reason to ask that question. Everybody who knows anything about what went down knows that the reasons Calipari left were (a) he talked serious contract issues with Don Tyson while he was still under contract to UK; (b) Calipari doesn't have an agent, so those conversations were tantamount to a Calipari agent talking with Tyson; and (c) to his credit, Barnhart called Calipari on it and told him, "You breached your contract. Shall we sue you, or would you like to resign and walk away with nobody paying any more money to anybody ?" There's no more to the whole thing than that. End of story.
I disagree. Cal had been unhappy and looking for a way out which just shows he wasn't fully invested with Kentucky. Calling him out on it on national TV just lays more of the groundwork of what happened, and that Cal wasn't clean of the under the table back-room dealings. He hadn't really been fully invested since he flirted with UCLA and others.
Admittedly I've lost the point
Here I am talking smack with Arkansas fans and I forget, they took this coach off our hands - and saved UK millions of dollars. We have a coach I am thrilled with and I am excited about watching UK basketball again.
so let the Arkansas fans talk smack, let Arkansas get to the elite 8, its all good for Kentucky

I don't think they'd beat us the next time around.
Exactly what i posted when fland went down. Cal would be forced to take the ball out of his pet recruit's hands and stop neglecting Davis.
People lavishing praise on cal for his coaching job us laughable. These injuries saved him from himself and the usual turmoil ridden implosion that cost uk the last several post seasons.
But ya...good coaching job.
I dont think Arkansas could beat TX tech without Thiero. Seems like a low risk high reward to play him 10 to 15 mins (I assume off bench and limited spurts).
I still favor tech but this makes that game slightly more intriguing.

I certainly agree that Calipari had been unhappy and was looking for a way out. That's obviously why he was talking money with Tyson. And I also certainly agree that Calipari wasn't fully invested with Kentucky - maybe ever ! But if you think Calipari willingly walked away from a mid-eight-figures buy-out just as a matter of generosity to U.K. ... well ... that probably indicates that you're just beyond help. I'm sorry for you.
Actually no-one thought they would beat us the time that we played them. It is basketball, anything can and will happen.
No national sports guy is going to ask that question. No one cares about that except for some Kentucky fans and it does nothing for McAfee.
Cal has coached harder and better this year, he sulked for a few games, hit rock bottom and came back fighting
He’s been in a bad way since covid, he got soft, his players played tight as a drum in NCAA
Guess he decided to get back up again and fight
