Shooting 20 of them won't either. The most athletic backcourt in America and they want to just jack it up today.

WV collapses so much and they've gotten extremely lucky that KU has been so off behind the line (and that they were so hot behind the line in the first half.) Aside from KU's bricks, what surprises me the most is that WV has been able to drive the ball.

It's UK, not KU (KU = Kansas University). They can drive because they hit 10 3's which opened up the lanes as KY came out. KY's offense was just shitty today...the 1-3-1 and trap zone killed us in the 2nd half. A great season that ends at the Elite 8.

It looks like Kentucky's attempt to buy the national championship in basketball this year is ruined.

soon enough, soon enough. cal will leave you guys with a bunch of violations as well.

And Cal has been the cause of the violations at other schools? Can you name one violation that "Calipari" has brought to either of the other universities that he has coached? I bet you can't. Just an opinion by you and others. :thumbsdown:

Oh well, I hope that Butler wins it all...if not them, Michigan State. Anybody but Duke or Tennessee. Hell, even WVU would be so bad.

You've got "proof" of this "buy" that you talk about?

They pay Coach Cal all that money to come to Kentucky with that recruiting class. Kentucky would never hire a coach that vacated a Final Four appearance with a second one under scrutiny (which has now been vacated) unless he had an amazing recruiting class coming in. When UK hired Gillespie, Cal was not even a choice for UK. People in Memphis thought Cal would be gone when Gillespie got hired, but Cal's character was questioned. Now everything is ok? Best of luck next year.

I have never minded rooting for UK, but I could not this year.

LOL if you think that KY bought Cal just for the one recruiting class. Two people followed Cal from Memphis and two others picked KY after Cal arrived. UK picked Cal because he is one of the top coaches in the NCAA, period.

Crap, just a shitty game!

Cal said nothing to the NCAA with regards to the violations in Memphis and he never asked Rose to speak to the NCAA either. You honestly believe he is 100% clean? I think it would be in his best interest to not lie to the NCAA about why Rose took his SAT in Detroit while he was a student in Chicago. The #1 high school recruit in the country and you don't know what is fully going on?

They hired him because he could recruit. The 2 that came with him were really good and the others were about to pick Memphis anyways. He is a great recruiter. Name another coach that has vacated 2 Final Four appearances. Oh wait, there is just Coach Cal.

Your opinion. The NCAA has cleared Calipari 100% on the Rose issue. The clearinghouse cleared him to play and he played. They pulled it from him after the season was over. Again, no proof that Calipari did anything wrong. Just a guess on your part. Enough cluttering this thread up. Take it to PM's if you want to discuss it further.

Cal is a smart guy. I had UK (WVU was my second pick from this region. Next year I may just go with my second choices.) for the Final Four along with Pitt (Butler was my second choice from that region). I have UT and Duke still in it so far. My bracket is shot though.

During the press conference Calipari was very surprised they could drive too. I didn't even think their coverage behind the arc was all that tight in the 2nd half, and they went under screens, but still weren't quick enough to get in front of the penetration and/or rotate. I guess when it rains it pours.

I'm disappointed in UK losing mainly because I wanted Coach Cal to get to the finals and lose there again.

Haha, I would've been fine with that over what happened.

I hate to watch this UK season end, especially on a game where they couldn't shoot for shit. Half of our team is now gone for the NBA, and we're quite possibly looking at somewhat of a rebuilding year next year, even though we'll still have a lot of talent depending on who stays. I don't think UK will be too much of a factor next year for a Final Four, but things are looking up for 2+ years down the road.

I'm with you. As an SEC fan I was rooting for UK. To be honest, I was a UK fan for awhile thanks to the Pitino era, but you're going to have to get used to this one-and-done thing at UK now. Cal has a knack for pulling in the NBA players that aren't allowed to go to the NBA so you may very well get this kind of player turn over every season or two.

sad here...sad. All the props to Butler. State did not deserve that game. looked like the same game they played against Iowa State at the end of the season. Still EMAW! Proudof the KState wildcats, for an everyman team they did pretty good. Good for Butler, much luck in Indy!

it was disappointing, but I knew teams coming off an overtime win were 0-3 this year (and something like 24-39 all time) in the tourney, so I was mentally prepared.

I understand they Izzo-fatigue, but he really is a great coach with top notch character. Go Big Ten!

Btw, anyone else not all that impressed with Wall? Granted that was the most I've seen of him, but he's got one speed and no shot away from the paint. Great hands, but also looked lazy on defense.

Watching the "freshman" Wall for such a short period didn't do him justice. He doesn't have the greatest outside shot but was better during the season. He set the UK single game and season assist marks and did a fantastic all around job as a first year player leading the CATS to a 35-3 record. Not going to give him all of the credit as he had a good "young" cast. He will be missed next year!

Having heard a few times some considered him the best player in college, I expected a more rounded player and with more intensity on defense.

He's no Dwyane Wade, who looked like a waterbug in ballet shoes at Marquette...on both sides of the court. Wall is very quick and drives strong, and is going to be a beast going to the basket (and/or kicking it out), but his game is not nearly as smooth and effortless, muchless focused.
