Have to think they saw this as an opportunity to keep a likely 'L' off their record. That is quite odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilots land planes in bad weather all the time. And was the runway really going to dry off that much in 2 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had to turn this game off halfway through the first half. Bill Walton is the ABSOLUTE WORST most BIASED announcer ever. Period. It was like if Fischer was doing a game on espn.

Truly some very unhappy people out there. 33 McD's players, 26 first round picks, 4 Final 4's and the program apparently is being run into the ground. Newsflash UK fans. When you bring in 5 or 6 new kids every year....it might require some patience. If you don't like the model....fire your coach. I've said this before and I haven't wavered: the Calipari/UK machine peaked in 2015. He isn't getting the best recruits anymore, and people are realizing he isn't the one-and-done first round draft pick ticket he was made out to be. Several years ago, I read a post on Rupp Rafters from a supposed insider saying he would coach there until his son finished college. His son is a junior on the team right now. Calipari turns 60 in February. Combine this with a quote from him once saying he didn't see himself coaching there for more than 10 seasons, and I think the Calipari era might be ending sooner instead of later.

rico Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I saw Parrish doesn't even have UK in his "Top 25 and One". He dropped them completely out. Big Blue Nation is reeling right now. It will be interesting to see how the 'Cats do in their game against Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Guy Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Gonzaga has had a lot of close games. They’re obviously a good team. But maybe beating Duke was more luck than anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Guy Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 But then again, maybe not. They’ve played a good non conference schedule. They’ve played Texas A&M, Illinois, Arizona, Duke, Creighton, Washington and Tennessee. They play at North Carolina next Saturday. That’s some schedule right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEKA Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Butler is my second favorite team in the state behind IU. I even worked at BU for a year and really became enamored with the campus, the people, students, and just generally the way they do things. That said, I hope we stomp them by 20 this year. I'm kind of sick of the "Butler Way" as some mythical thing. It's not. Please, IU, kill Butler this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Maybe it is time to start a IU-Butler pre-game thread. Already seems to be a ton of interest already in a game that is just under a week away. In other BIG/NCAA news. PU is just a 1 and half point favorite over Texas. Game starts in 15 minutes on ESPNU..

Steubenhoosier Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Mixed emotions. Hate even considering rooting for Purdue. However, want the B1G conference to be ranked highly and a win by PU will help SOS down the road. Like I said.... it’s a conundrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper they're probably better than PSU and maybe NW both whom we squeaked by. Could be a good game. We clearly have the much superior roster though.
