March madness round two Sunday

[gsmooth]

I am hoping Iowa State serves as inspiration for UConn. Both are #2 seeds with a key player injured and going against a #7 seed that is a blue blood (yes I know UCLA hasn't won a title in 31 years).

He's a hot dog - had that vibe at OT Elite with Thomas. I thought Thomas might be too, as that the vibe that program gives off, but Thomas has tightened up his game at Arkansas.

Thomas is very, very good. I have no idea why his mock draft rankings are so low. But, whoa, Jasper Johnson is just not a winning player at all.

The double secret jinx was fully known when I posted. As was the poor shooting post. I know what I’m doing.

You are on a roll. Do the same for UConn.

Kentucky commits their 20th turnover because a guy just lost the ball and threw it out of bounds

Mark Pope clapping and encouraging them on the sideline

Kentucky down 23

I’m sure Big Blue Nation will be very happy with him after this one

 

[Travelman6]

Man, this tourney has been boring with all these blowouts. No real drama anywhere other than High Point and last night's Nebraska/Vanderbilt.

Patience grasshopper…

Kentucky has got to be one of the most undisciplined teams in college hoops....at any level.

20 turnovers. So far.

I've said it a hundred times but I have no idea how Kentucky spent $22 million on this roster. That's spending like a drunken sailor (as my father says).

Well you have to admit Pope's "come on let's go guys" clap ranks as one of the best.

It's the reason they want Pope outta there. Team shows not sense of discipline, Pope's roster strategy has been bad (they offered Solo, lol). He can't attract any HS recruits. He couldn't get JQ to play. It's been a hot mess.

Them falling apart here in the second half will have RR outraged.

Seriously, the worst poster here is the nothing over there.

Kentucky Santa Clara was amazing. There’s been a bunch of fun games

You of course always find a way to make a dig on a UConn player when it has nothing to do with the thread.

There's been 4 or 5 good, interesting games out of like 40.

More 20+ point blowouts than down-to-the-wire ones.

 

[bendm]

Maybe I shouldn’t be poking fun based on what I’ll read on the yard tonight if we lose but I can’t help it

Potentially reality of both Kentucky and UNC having coaching openings and both jobs not being attractive gigs.

Signature wins by the top teams - we need to show who we are.

It’s still the round of 32. You’ll see some drama

That place is amazing. There were quite a few who were pissed that Owen hit that shot. They wanted to lose immediately so that Pope would look worse.

 

[boog204]

TJ loves that petite section for his polos…

 

[Kemba15]

Never forget that Kentucky nation thought they were gonna hire Hurley after ‘24 🤣🤣🤣

Someone just literally posted his name as a potentially replacement. Along with Golden, Oats, Donovan…

They both have a level of prestige that will attract their fair share of candidates. Will it be their desired candidates that apply for the job? That is the real question. North Carolina is a job I can see being attractive without near the level of toxicity of the Kentucky fan base.

UK wanting to fire Pope already is why nobody wants the job.

They would’ve ran 2022 Dan Hurley out of town after losing to NM St
