I don't disagree, but the biggest issue in your statement is that Blackrock gets most of their money AT THE END of the contract. When you give a 20 yo kid, who's never had much (or any) money to his name a whole bunch of it, he may make some bad decisions. I would have been thrilled to have the...

1) Why come to UT if you don't want to play D. Barnes has said countless times that if you don't play D, you don't play. Do you think that decisions are being made by players based on NIL (& I don't mean Dubar, just in general). 2) I think that the statements are true about Milicic. He did get...

More than I had hoped for! Classic tweener/Too slow: Why wouldn't Coach Barnes have known that or did he & just hope for the best? Bernard King: I agree as well. If he's coming into the game, it's either to give someone a breather or throw a few down. He's damned sure not in there for his D...

Haven't been on here in a while. Clearly UT has some depth issues. One that I can't figure out is Dubar. How can a player go from the best player on a team to damned near insignificant? I realize the SEC is much tougher, but the goals are the same height. He just looks like he could bring so...

Dig around and find a copy of "Life Its Ownself" by Dan Jenkins. It's basically the sequel to "Semi-Tough". For me, it was pretty eye-opening. I always suspected that they gambled heavily, but he lays it out pretty good. Yes, it's a work of fiction, but...... To me, it's the same...

Goodbye and Good Luck. Don't need to be seeing him every season. That last 3 showed not only his immense physical talent, but his basketball acumen. I don't watch the NBA, but from what I have seen, his game fits perfectly and he should rapidly become an impact player.

I haven't been here in a long time and typically only come over here to get details on plays like this. This is a consistently good forum with any number of knowledgeable posters and respectful, fact-based (most of the time) debates and it has been for a long time. However that happens, you...

Except a lot of those 4/5 stars aren't very coachable and have one foot out of the door from day one. I've said for a long time (and proven wrong, unfortunately) that the future of college basketball is to build a program with coachable 3 stars and add the pieces you need through juco/grad...

There will be when the NCAA is through with LSU....

I remember when Joe Morgan was on Sunday/Monday Night baseball and thought that was as bad as it could ever get. Vitale just had to go and prove me wrong. When UK opened up the lead in the 1st half he just kept going on about how tough their defense was. Are we watching the same game...

I confess that I haven't been able to watch much basketball this season, but it is unbelievable (to me) that Georgia has a losing record in the SEC. I know a lot of GA fans have been calling for the coach's head on a platter and I can see why. They are long, deep and talented. This is the...

This is true but it can happen to any team at any time. It just happens more in the tournament because they have nothing to lose. Some team with 4 guards from Munchkinland comes out and starts throwing in threes like the hoop was six feet round. When that happens, just pack your crap and make...

Today is the first day that I've been able to read this board. I'll be rooting for KY without shame today. I don't think giving the ball to Stokes was the "wrong" call, but I don't think it was the only "right" call either and was somewhat predictable. I don't think that matters too much as...

I stand corrected. They may not have been "very good teams" but they were all teams that have played at a high level at some point during the season. Semantics, whatever. Win and move on.

I guess I'm the opposite of most of the bandwagon fans. I swore that I would never root for UT in any sport (except women's BB, how can you not root for Pat Summit?), but one of my friends sucked me in to the Cult of Bruce Pearl. I loved the junk-yard dog type of basketball they played his...
