And that's why Rupp absolutely sucks. At good home courts the team feeds off the crowd. At Rupp the crowd only reacts if the team does something good. This is the 11th ranked team in the country, Rupp should have been deafening since tip.

Do you think the Miss. St. crowd only cheered when Miss St. was doing good things on Saturday? No. They were loud the whole time to try to make it a hostile environment. According to Kenpom, Rupp is the 35th best home court advantage in the country. For Kentucky basketball that is AWFUL.

You know, I've shifted my stance on Cal over the last year. Can't defend him

But this was something we were told would be fixed with Pope. Here we are, Rupps crowd really not doing much for us, the calls are no better... there's a lot of things to blame Cal for, but also a lot of problems that were beyond him..

A thing after the phrase “ according to Kenpom “ should be totally ignored .. he doesn’t know **** .. absolutely zero .. he’s a turd .
It's pretty easy to statistically analyze how valuable a home court is. And Rupp is not nearly as valuable as it should be.

Student section on one sideline.
Have the shoot around at Rupp no matter what it takes.
Review officiating after games.

You'd add 2-3 wins a year..

I give up trying to figure out what an offensive foul is. That Oweh drive goes against us multiple times per game on defense with the announcers praising what a tough physical drive it was.
