That's a big win Dan! My wildcats played like hot garbage today. Looks like it can't get worse, but I'm sure they'll find a way.

They played great.
Carolina played well today. Notre Dame has some real problems this year.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
I scratched my head on that one . Kentucky is supposed to be a perennial powerhouse . What happened ? I looked at their program as a NBA player factory . Got a notice about Clark leaving Illini supposed to be family issues . I go on my rants as a fan but hope things in his personal life can work out .

Dan, I forgot about SKYY decommitting from UK to go to Illinois. Hopefully things work out.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 7:04 pmI scratched my head on that one .

UK is in a bad place right now, and it looks like chemistry issues. IMO anyways. Saturday against (@)UT will probably be another beatdown. I didn't expect UK to win at Alabama, but didn't think we'd quit. Our star 3 players were 3-30 from the field and it didn't seem to be because of Bama's defense, just bad play. UK only shot 8 free-throws while Bama shot 26....they did everything right and we did everything wrong and I'm not sure how we fix it, if it can be fixed.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
I hear you , we have lost games just by sloppy play allowing team points at the line make a big difference . As I far as I know Sky is done and will go portal again . I wonder If part of it was his brother decommitting at Illinois was a issue . It is definitely a bad look and could make some schools not want to take a chance , especially after getting a wad of money . I think the Portal will create more problems as it goes on unless NCAA makes some changes to the process . I think it creates a two tier division on teams that is not healthy . Some players who play crappy get a financial stipend and other kids playing hard get nothing . I don’t see the fairness or cohesion building a solid team . Illini did send him a message with the big win , we can do better without you .

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
As I sit here watching UK with 2 points with 5 minutes gone down to an awful SC team 13-2, I've realized this team has to be tanking and doesn't want to win! Abysmal! Not sure what they'll gain tanking tho

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Maybe not, Larry. They could just be hitting bottom & if that's the case they may get fired up enough to not want to be embarrassed anymore.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 6:16 pmAs I sit here watching UK with 2 points with 5 minutes gone down to an awful SC team 13-2, I've realized this team has to be tanking and doesn't want to win!

But, who knows. You could be right. Hard to tell with kids now a days
Has Calipari ever benched all 5 starters in a game?
Roy Williams would do it. That tended to light a fire under their arse.

We've got a really tough game tonight against UVA in Charlottesville. Really excited to see how they handle Virginia- that will tell me a lot.

Rock bottom is here, but I think Cal lost the team.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Illini over Nebraska last night 76-50 . 3 pointers where from everyone, a good sign and defense was pretty good . Nice thing they were playing as a team . Dan

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Illini bet MSU last night 75-66 . It was a hard fought game . Basically Michigan State eventually ran out of gas in second quarter . Illini played one of their best games few turnovers and fouls , shared the ball and defense rebounding made a lot of their points . Hopefully we can continue to climb up . Dan

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Wow didn't expect a win today but glad it happened. Our staring pg Wheeler was out with an injury but, I think we play better without him. Opposing players just score over top of him too easy. This loss didn't hurt TN any but it was a big boost to UK.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Illini over Minnesota 78-60 at the Barn . Early foul trouble took out two starters and Underwood resorted to two freshman who played outstanding keeping us in the game and half we had a 3 point lead . Second half team exploded and defense shut down Minnesota offense. They are finally playing as a team and keeping turnovers down . Indiana at home Thursday , climbing out of hole . Dan

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
Carolina played decent ball last night vs BC
Lost an 11 point lead - was cut to 2 by BC but, we got it back up to 10 and won comfortably
Still nowhere near in any shape to make a long run in the big dance.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
I’m excited to see how Illini responds tonight against Indiana. I hope,zGoodemcan get back to add to bench soon . We will need a deeper bench once we go against Perdue who squeaked a win from MSU . It was nice to See Underwood not go ballistic hope that trend continues! Ha ha ! Dan

Maybe UK/Ill and NC are getting it together! As long as it's not peaking too early...Last night Oscar scored 37 with 24 rebounds and hopefully we'll see PG Wheeler delegated to the bench for good, his defense is killing us along with all the turnovers, poor shots and bad passes.

Re: NCAA men's basketball 2022-23
We went down in flames last night against Indiana , 80-65 . Poor shooting percentage first half and we let Davis make way too many shots uncontested . These young guys just got their first lesson of what a good Big 10 team can do if you don’t bring your A game every night . Still on the learning curve .
