Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[BugsyCT]

It's Marquette's bracket to lose. Kentucky was their obstacle

In Houston’s region?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

A. Anyone who watched KY play this year and had them advancing past the first weekend, shame on you.
B. They can’t afford to get rid of the worst coach in all of major college hoops. It is so delightful.

The SEC hasn't really represented so far.

That individual bracket

 

[HuskyNan]

Kentucky: Dick Vitale's national champions.

Oops.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Coming in a few minutes I get to watch KU. My view of Samford.

 

[BugsyCT]

Are we still the Kentucky of the East?

Holy crap, I hope not.

 

[Stinger92860]

Cal on the hot seat, or he should be. What a terrible game coach.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Their fans are going to start calling for Hurley soon watch.

They already were.

 

[ctchamps]

If Kentucky loses tonite against Oakland (who is currently giving them all kinds of problems up 5 with less than 8 minutes to go) does that put Calipari on the hot seat?

Post/handle

They’ve been calling for it all year.

Amazing

The game has passed Calipari by. 65. Time to pack it in.

I suspect hes just rich and lazy

Can't help but feel UK is going to offer Dan Hurley an awful lot of money.

I don’t see Hurley leaving what he’s got here. He’s the number 1 celebrity in the state, (UConn) fans love him. He reads social media, he sees how quick Kentucky fans would turn on him if he underachieves. Plus he loves the northeast.

With that said, I wonder how much money they’d have to offer where he couldn’t pass it up. 10 years $100 million? 5 years $75 million? At some point there is a number that’s too absurd to pass up…

Lack of "PT Players"....

 

[EnochRoot]

I must say, Calipari is taking that whole “one and done” thing to new extremes.

 

[Vowelguy]

Cal on the hot seat, or he should be. What a terrible game coach.

Their AD is preoccupied with getting a splashy hire for the women’s team (expected to lure the coach of Virginia tech).

Kentucky message board crashed

Which website is the message board you are referring to? When I Google it there are a lot Kentucky boards.

 

[UCLJ0211]

So much for everyone picking Mcneese

 

[HuskyHawk]

Coming in I thought Tennessee was the team to beat in the Midwest, yet I didn’t pick them. I don’t know why.

He's an Irish-American with deep roots in Northeast basketball. That means something. He's also rich and a few more dollars isn't everything in life. He'll also get a raise here if he wins another title. Hopefully, AH returns and they get another year of father and son.

A prep school coach friend of mine (a) likes him and says he’s a fun guy and (b) thinks he’s actually a great coach that is somewhat hamstrung by external forces at UK. The money talks there, and you pretty much need to do what it tells you. I don’t think he’s lazy.

 

[giddyup]

Kentucky one and dones are one and done.

I just moneylined Samford.

I’ve been wrong about everything, which is the one positive for the Jayhawks, because I think Samford +7.5 should be free money. So Timberlake will suddenly morph into Cam Spencer or something.
