I watched a bit. I think they have a more athletic point guard who distributes the ball better. Last year they had a volume shooter, leading scorer, who could shoot you in and out of a game at pg. The team works better with the new PG. I wouldn't be surprised if UK women rises into the top ten.

we can’t compete with the big boys of the SEC like Vanderbilt they sure have came a long ways they used to be as bad as us in football
In basketball, the secret sauce is defense. In football, it’s the line. NFL caliber, three deep both ways. We have never properly learned that lesson. Don’t have it? Get your *** beat. Vandy doesn’t have it either with any consistency,

Wait did Mitch hire a proven coach that just took a small school to the final four and you mean he’s producing ?? This isn’t sarcastic towards the op just Barny in general.
Obviously nobody wanted the men’s job. But someone with a Final Four was chomping at the bit to come here. That’s what some Kentucky “fans” are saying (The same talking points when BCG was hired) Let’s just ignore that Barney seemingly placed more effort and time in the women’s coach search than the men’s.

Maybe we should’ve hired Frank Vogel instead of Pope.

Good win for the Ladies. However, let’s no5 get carried away. Louisville is ranked because of what they’ve accomplished the last few years. They’re not world beaters this year.

Brooks will do well to accomplish what Mitchell built here.

Remember, that Brooks pissed away that 2nd round game last season against an inferior opponent. (Kansas St)

I like Brooks, let’s see what he can do long term here. Mitchell was awesome.

nonetheless you still have to prove yourself at a larger program. So far so good for Brooks.

I can watch ESPN +, SEC + SEC, ESPN and now there’s going to be a few games on FloSports. Do they want your body and soul, who can afford a different subscription every week and why are they on that, I’ve never heard of it before. Guess I’ll just have to read about the games in Puerto Rico.

Great win.
72-62

Lady Wildcats take down the lady cards in the Yum Center. Maybe give them a little NIL boost for the roster
That run KY made in the third quarter was VERY IMPRESSIVE and won the game over a very good LOU team. GREAT game !!!

Eh. I suspect once that QB leaves they will go back to being doormats of the SEC.

I feel like in football teams like UK and Vandy can occasionally have good seasons but it's rarely sustainable. We've had some pretty good years under Stoops as well.

Barnhart is here until he retires. One of the best ADs in the business. The fools who keep calling for his firing are being idiots who just cannot read a room. You lost. Grow up and live with it. Being a parrot about something that isn’t happening just comes off has being a dufus. You may not like it, but it ain’t happening.

You aren't kidding Mitch made the right hires in Women's basketball and Volleyball.... Man has he screwed up every other hire!!!!!
He hired the winningest coach in UK football history. John Calipari won a title, went to 4 Final Fours, and 7 Elite 8’s in 14 years. Just brutal stuff.

Mitch doesnt get to claim Cal.

He does however get to claim Cals contract extension, Stoops contract, Joker Phillips, and Billy G

any of those four things are enough to fire an AD in the SEC. All four of them together he should have been fired years ago
