This was absolutely pathetic. Pope has done some amazing things here. But this is unacceptable.

SEC is a bloodbath this season.

Zags need to get their S together. Losing to St Mary's on the road, I can understand. But Oregon St and Santa Clara back-to-back L's is kind of actually unacceptable. They had a helluva non-conference schedule, but you can't be losing those type of conference games. If it was just one to Oregon St or Santa Clara, that'd be fine. But both?

Glad the Dons are doing well. Weak schedule, holy jeez. But if they can get 25 W's, maybe they got a shot at the dance.

My God Pope you've gotta get these guys to play defense. This is a real problem.

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

I know losing Butler has hurt the guard rotation, and we're asking guys to do things they don't normally do, but that doesn't answer for the horrible defense in the first half and the slightly less atrocious defense in the second half. We only forced one turnover. Inspired by the words of Harry Doyle, "That's all we got? One g****** turnover?!?!"

Kudos for cutting a 27-point deficit to 11 points midway through the first half before the comeback stalled out, but like Pope said in his post-game press conference, "This is Kentucky. We don't do moral victories."

Kim Caldwell is the one to bring the Lady Vols back.

Great win over UConn tonight.

Notre Dame was up by 50 on Stanford in the late game, and they were still showing Stanford's odds (11-11 overall with a 3-7 conference record) to make the tourney. The disparity is still there, I love the ascension of the women's game, but it's still really top heavy



not to derail lol, because yeah that was a great win, Tennessee v UConn was must watch for years, and unfortunately the ONLY watch for years. She's definitely off to a great start and would love to see Tennessee back up there perennially

Kentucky can’t play defense … except against us.

I don't even think it's that. Tennesee just can't match the 3 point shooting, It's a bad matchup for them.

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

Sec is probably gonna get 12 or 13 teans in the tourney. Absolutely ridiculous.

Good comeback and crazy finish for the UConn-Seton Hall game. The refs let then play late in OT and Seton Hall pulled off the upset

Its gonna b 11 I think, possibly 12 but Georgia isnt making it and neither should we. The fact that Jerry Palm and Joe Lunardi have us as one of the Last 4 In is laughable. We are about to b 4-9 in the SEC cuz theres no way we r beating Auburn on Wednesday. I honestly think we may not win another game this year, Missouri and Mississippi State just won on the road and are way better than we are.

I am the only one that thinks this but I want Cal gone already. His offense does not work in todays game. We have scored 70 or more points in SEC play in only 4 games this year and we lost 2 of those. We have one of the most expensive rosters in basketball and we are paying Cal 8 million a year, I dont see it changing much next year but I could b wrong. Right now its a total waste of money and I think we made a massive mistake.

Bold take but I think UNC makes the tourney this year, their remaining schedule is easy minus the Duke, florida state, and virginia tech games. I would think they would be able to beat FSU and VT though, both of them are not good.

I think they will be 19-12 going into the Duke game on March 3rd, if they can win at FSU thats massive cuz that will get you to the magic number of 20.

Wouldnt surprise me if they make noise in the ACC tourney too, Hubert Davis' teams do that from time to time. When they made the national championship game against KU in 2022 that was a miracle run lol.
