If we don't beat Kentucky by 30, I will be disappointed. That is a bad team.

He will have them juiced and focused for a game against us, but losing to them would be embarrassing this year.

This thread is even more relevant now than ever. What a bad loss for UK and Calipari. This team is NOT good.

On balance though, do most college coaches lean towards recruiting or Xs and Os? I'm not sure Self is actually a great Xs and Os guy. Roy Williams wasn't and even said as much. Barnes is not. Pearl is not. Mike White is not. Juwan Howard and Penny Hardaway are not. Boeheim is not.

It seems like you kind of have to dig to find good tacticians in this sport, mostly because it's college and success or failure hinges more on talent acquisition than tactics.

I think talent trumps Xs and Os 90% of the time and that it skews the eye test. If Izzo or Bennett recruited more consistently, it could be scary. That said, Michigan St next year could be epic. Looks like it will be Izzo’s best ever draft class

Cal has lost that team...They don't believe in him anymore...He would be smart to pick up and start somewhere else new...But then UK has to find another coach...This could get interesting.

The worst thing is the USCjr coach acting like they beat a good team.

Volunteers win by fifty points on Saturday afternoon.

I listened to Matt Jones 3-4 days a week when I was living in Kentucky and still keep up with him. He is losing his mind right now, almost needs to be put on either suicide watch, or on a list of suspects if something were to happen to Calipari.

Hate to see it...NOT!

Only thing I could think of was blocking the view of people behind. Maybe some donors, or just people who paid to watch Kentucky lose and not a sign.

I read that the sign was blocking others and he was given option of giving up sign or him and his sign could depart. He chose the later.

Possibly, but they could have just said put down your sign or we will escort you out, he said no way, and he got escorted out 😂 It’s funny any way it happened, the natives are growing restless 😂

Too bad he wasn't given the opportunity to move a few rows down where there were enough empty seats that he wouldn't have blocked anyone's view or just set it in the empty seats beside him. The other thing is his sign doesn't name Calipari, it could have been about anyone.
