I just had a feelin man....Manixguy@1994 wrote: βThu Mar 28, 2024 7:40 pmThat game surprised me , figured Arizona would make a comeback and hold off Clemson for win . Another big dance loss for Arizona , never seem to break through . Dan
I also got a feelin that Gonzaga will knock off Purdue tomorrow.
As far as Carloina & Illinois goes, I haven't a clue.
That's really weird how that works....ya know what I mean?
Maybe I'm just crazy
Thank you, Larry.legOFwhat? wrote: βFri Mar 29, 2024 6:30 amDang Paul, sorry buddy. Alabama is a good team, but I was for sure y'all would move on last night.
Great win Dan! Go all the way buddy!
I know there is a lot of clamoring for new coaching for UK. More and more cat fans are jumping off the Calipari bandwagon and I'm finally one of them. Spent too many years being a Cal apologist and I just can't defend him any longer.MacLaren wrote: βFri Mar 29, 2024 6:57 amThank you, Larry.legOFwhat? wrote: βFri Mar 29, 2024 6:30 amDang Paul, sorry buddy.

........I mean Withers & Wojick & Withers takin that 3 with the lead and all that time on the shot clock
& that's just the tip of the 2nd half ice berg.....
Man, I'm really upset with the coachin last night- as many Tar Heels are this mornin.....
But, I won't get into it. It's over said and done.
It's just a game we should not have lost Larry.

He doesn't care about tournaments and has said as much, but why even play if you're not going focus on the biggest prizes for your sport! Big deal he gets more players into the NBA, they players 1st motto he's been touting to get high end recruits does nothing for the fans. We should focus on banners instead of giant murals of millionaires on the walls.
Anywho end coaching rant....
There is always next year
We should expect better no apologies for that. Btw just buckled into a jet heading for Charlotte brother Paul, look up ill be waving at ya.MacLaren wrote: βFri Mar 29, 2024 11:33 amLarry, I'm so glad to hear you say that!!legOFwhat? wrote: βFri Mar 29, 2024 9:05 amI know there is a lot of clamoring for new coaching for UK.

Any coaches job is to make the best team possible for the school and WIN.
And for teams like North Carolina, Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, UConn especially these schools - that means competing for the National Championship year in year out.
We don't rebuild, we reload.
That may sound cocky or pompous or whatever but. it's true.
And especially so for Kentucky- Cal constantly got the best recruits the Nation had to offer. Even a little better than what Duke gets and certainly better than what North Carolina usually gets..
And not even to mention that gargantuan salary yall pay this cat! (Oops! No pun intended!)
But, I'm not tellin you anything new Larry.
It's just I hear ya buddy and I'm with ya 1,000,000%

Thanks Paul , both teams in some ways are a lot alike . We have to improve shooting percentage and free throws . Less turnovers will be key to keep us in the game . Proud of Illini how far they came this year especially with all the distractions . We are losing a lot of key players this season so may be last time seeing them play together. Hope,we can do another thread again next year , this has been a lot of fun and thank you Larry and Paul . Dan
