Cuse wins

Syracuse rushes the court after beating #13 Tennessee lmao

 

[auror]

That last line lol.

 

[bendm]

Boogie dribbles it off his foot to lose the game for UF

 

[Flipside]

Duke/Florida game, worth the price of admission

 

[HooperScooper]

Florida looks terrible. Huskies better crush them next week.

Well they played better in the 2nd half. Fland with a bad turnover down the stretch down by a point.

 

[superjohn]

Carolina Kentucky down to the wire, all tied up.

 

[aceboon]

let me go read the UK message boards...

 

[WhereistheDove?]

For a coach that supposedly runs great offensive actions, Mark Pope’s squad all just kind of stood around and watched the ball handler that second half. Really ugly basketball.

Always hysterical.

If you can't see this isn't UK basketball you have problems

Man, this UK team has looked awful, for all that $$. Not sure JQ can even fix this.

Worst team $22 million can buy. I've said it before but I don't know how the heck they could spend $22 million on that roster unless they were just throwing money at anyone who would take it.

Beyond the 22mm, what kind of culture are you building in that locker room just handing out huge checks to college kids? Are you getting kids that are in it for the right reasons?

Cuse playing for their season and the dome is a morgue.

I hope this win gets Autry a 10+ year contract extension.

Rupprafters are a bunch of lunatics 😂


UK fans are like Cowboy fans though, love to tell people how great they were 40+ years ago and seemingly choke nearly every year.

ACC with a really goodnight over the SEC

 

[Travelman6]

Has there ever been such an impressive trio of early season games as last night with

Duke/Florida
Unc/Kentucky
Kansas/UConn

Especially considering how close all 3 were.

Anyone?

Great night for college basketball. Normally with a late game I'd watch TV with my wife before the game, but I just plopped down and turned basketball on at 7 and she got the hint and didn't even ask.

I am curious though, and hope to Uconn fans, that people stay humble and enjoy what they have.

Because I do remember times when Uconn was bad, couldn't make the tournament, and was basically non-existent. And I also remember Uconn fans acting like idiots and sounding just like the UK's, UNC fans when they are bad. I think there was a stretch when people wanted Hurley fired.

He is a great offensive coach. He, for some reason, recruited a team full of guys who don't fit his style at all. Like not at all. It was a horrid recruiting year for them, even worse bc of how much they spent on it.

I think Pope needs to start getting his pipeline of HS kids in, has needed to go portal way too much these two years. Doesn’t strike me as a guy who is built to cultivate mercenaries.

Most sane people didn't want him fired and knew it would take him a few years. There was a huge improvement from Year 1 to 2 and it was very evident, granted year 1 was rough. But 2 was a fantastic leap.

Heard the culture is terrible and the players don’t even like each other like that.

I would actually enjoy Syracuse’s return to prominence.



But only for us to play them to put them back in their place afterwards

I'd love if they got back to what they used to be and we got a series going with them as a prelude to joining the conference.

They've suffered long enough. It would be good to have another solid OOC NE team around to have some fun with.
