Agree but the AD had him at C. Livengod level buffoonery

We almost got Tim Floyd…..

Djcat

He caved to boosters and rabid fans unrealistic expectations and demands. He got the wrong signal too. Thought his crush Scott Drew will come running or Hurley will fall for the big bag of cash. Pretty sure he didn’t think he will have to fall back on Plan C

Djcat

Would love to see it. The Pitino revenge tour. Will be a circus.

You mean being the UN ambassador isn’t a successful political career?

Read somewhere Pititno despise them

Djcat

The biggest problem with Kentucky is they have one of the most insane fanbases in the country. They were calling the Mexican restaurant to confirm he was there after he tweeted that picture yesterday. Not saying Drew couldn't handle it, but I bet it was a turn off for the rest of the family, especi...

I don’t know how to embed so adding the link. I don’t think Kentucky and Scott will be a good fit. Baylor is the forever place for him

If so…….
Ticket prices for the Arkansas Kentucky game will be Super Bowl level

Djcat

The calls for his (Tommy) name is getting a little louder. Could be from clueless media types and certain fans. But Kentucky’s AD could be getting desperate. It’s not a good look right now for him. Desperate people do funny things.

Djcat

Shades of Lute Olson with the Kentucky search years ago. Baylor should just build that statue now

Djcat

He wants it but family isn’t sold. Sounds like a good family man who doesn’t prioritize himself.

Wonder who’s on the second list. Sean Miller keeps popping up. After Xavier doing him a solid by rehiring him, leaving would be pretty low

Kentucky fans found the restaurant Scott Drew was having lunch with a booster and flooded the reviews.

Look at the last hour reviews - It’s pretty hilarious

Djcat

Word on the interweb is Hurley been offered 11 mil a year. That’s insane. No wonder inflation won’t go away….

UConn’s Castle played like a senior. We can pray and hope

The AD was eating one while interviewing Miller. And being a total slob about it.

Thanks Chi. Glad to see you are still on this board. Crazy to think I’ve “known” a lot of you since 2000s. That’s over 20 years.

Credit to the people who kept this going!

Djcat

What’s the story with the burger?

Djcat

Tommy seems like his mentor Few, who likes to stay in one place and build a lasting legacy.

Then again money talks. Didn’t Miller flirted with S. Carolina?

Djcat

Both losing to teams ranked 4 spots or lower multiple times. I get crap for saying this, but it's all about success in the tourney. That’s Kentucky boosters and fans frustrations with Cal. Recent lack of tourney success. They think they are entitled to competing yearly for the Nat Championship. Uco...

Djcat

If the team made F4 then I can see Kentucky being very interested. But without tourney success, and every season losing to a lower seed, can’t see it. That was the key frustration with Calipari.

Plus his post defeat pressers will drive Kentucky fans insane. Aw shucks won’t work for them.

Djcat

Wonder if Oats will even be in the conversation if Alabama didn’t make it to the F4.

In the same vein what if Tommy did

Djcat

I know it’s an unpopular option around here, but if UK is looking for championships, millers mid major gimicky ball play and tight teams aren’t gonna get it done for them. But I’ll enjoy the hubris of them thinking it might work This. Miller, in this case, will not win the press conference with Ken...

Djcat

Not sure if Kentucky boosters and fans would want to trade in a coach who for the last few seasons been losing as higher seed for another who has done the same. I don’t see Tommy being really considered. But I do worry what happens if another P5 coach is poached by Kentucky and the downward effects ...

Djcat

For one I would like to see Tommy coach our team to play against a zone. Everytime an opponent bust one one, team gets into a panic.

Bet you if for some reason we got past Clemson and played Alabama, even they would go zone on us.

We are gonna see a lot of zone D next season

Djcat

Marquette fans having the same meltdown as we did last night. Ah misery loves company. Jacking up 3s are a major theme. Too familiar

This.

We said this about the Rose Bowl. And here we are

Djcat

Be interesting how he formulates next season’s squad. We have quite the collection of US based High school recruits. But they are all freshmen and we know how that can play out

Djcat

There’s no upside to coming back. Everyone including himself sees he’s hit the ceiling and it’s time to get a paycheck overseas.

Djcat

This Aaron person is spot on except for the part about Arizona matching up well with UConn and maybe having an easier path if they obtained the #1 seed. We got to play the 6 seed for a chance to EE, can’t get easier than that. Also, Alabama would have boat raced us to death

Djcat

“Arizona has a higher standard,” Wildcats center Oumar Ballo said after the 77-72 loss, in a locker room where most sets of eyes were fixed on the floor. “If you don’t make it to the Final Four, if you don’t win the (championship), it’s not going to be a successful year. Some programs would settle f...

Djcat

Flip might be a little slow and don’t play D as well. Then again the team wasn’t really good D last night. Paulius should have been brought in for a min to see if you could break the 3 drought

Djcat

Btw for the people at the game, did we have a strong crowd? Saw lots of empty seats on TV and tons of blue in the second game filling those up My feeling was we did not have a strong crowd. The AZ sections were basically full, but my feeling was we had less than we typically do for the rest of the ...

And second round

Djcat

Regular season performance should set a team up for a good run in the tourney. Like UConn right now. Or be UConn in 2011, like our Cats in 97. Hard to say. I did enjoy the regular season wins the last three seasons. Media and media fans of other schools are crowing about our failure to advance deepe...

Djcat

Good take. Forgot about going up big and slacking.

Krivas lengthy arms were giving Hall and other Clemson players issues so not sure why he didn’t play more

Djcat

Not sure if Kerr had that choice. And he did gave his best for three and two under Tommy.

Djcat

Even when we went up by 1 I did have the nagging feeling we are still toast. Good D was out of the window and we keep letting them score easy baskets. Like Love said post game, Tommy wasn’t on the floor they were

Djcat

Miller’s teams get tight because he gets tight and too controlling.

Tommy’s teams get into a funk and are mentally fragile. A bit more control might actually help.

If we can fuse both coaches we might have that UConn winning formula

Djcat

Yeah Johnson jumped at so many fakes. Also that foul on the 3 point was totally dumb. He turned around to see if it went in and dropped right into the shooter.

Djcat

Credit is due, and must be given to Clemson... . Agree with the entire sentiment. Happening over and over against been super frustrating. Players even said after games they didn’t take it as seriously because of quality of opponents. I do have to say which basketball gods did Clemson offered their ...

Djcat

If he stays and don’t ride pine, I’m afraid we will lose Bradley. Wonder if Tommy is looking at portal for another PG.

Djcat

Metrics based on a weak PAC plus early season success. The 30 points easy wins over inferior teams or teams finding their ways skewed them. No way we should be a 2 seed losing twice to WSU. Finishing the season with losses to SC and Oregon. Cats lucked into the PAC regular season title because WSU l...

Djcat

Won’t be surprised if he transfers. Post game he mentioned getting better and seeing what comes in the future.

Djcat

He plays too fast sometimes but understandably so as a freshman. But he has all the tools except a three point shot. Shocked he only played 13 mins last night. We needed his D in the second half

Djcat

That even with a favorable matchup, despite the metrics clearly favoring Bradley, I dont think you can make the move to start him. My first thought - start Bradley - (despite Clemson not being Baylor) was the right one. I have a feeling most of us would agree but Tommy is a players coach and won’t....

Djcat

I thought Tommy got over the adjustment hump during the Dayton game. When they were killing it with the pick and roll and he pulled Omar and went small. Not sure why he didn’t call a TO when the players were jacking up 3s when it was double bonus. Set them straight. Overall I’m super glad he’s our c...

Djcat

Not sure if Cats would have won a 7 game series with Clemson. This team has motivation issues. They can lose to SC one week and destroy them next. If the team that beat Duke, Wisconsin and played Purdue tough shows up, yes. But too many stinkers games against so so teams to say they will. Also, Love...

Djcat

Overall had a great career but had a knack for disappearing in games this season. Last night he did not defend well at all. When Cats cut it down to 2 with under a min left, he let Chase blow by him to the basket, which put pressure on the defenders the basket and hence the deuce and 1. Maybe he’s b...
