How about Robert Morris so far battling with UK? I feel so sorry for Coach Cal.. not!
And nice win by St. John's tonight at the buzzer.

That out of bounds play the coach orchestrated with 5 seconds left on the shot clock was onions.

So annoying the way that they were talking about Kentucky's recruiting class for next year like it was much different than this year. Yes that class, with Randel, would be better than this year's, but the way that Calipari has won in the past (last year and with Memphis) was with experienced players, particularly a PG. He still wont have that next year.

It is just too easy to set a screen to get a layup against man in that position. Andy Toole must have known UK would stay in man and they could get a better shot off the inbounds play than in the position they were in before the timeout. Toole played point guard at Penn when JTIII was coaching Princeton.

Quite the collegiate career for Nerlens Noel.

The only thing that SEC schools think about in March is spring fb. Surprised that Kentucky accepted NIT bid. Tennessee State University should received the invite.

He has, however, generally had experienced, like CDR, the big ugly dude on Memphis, Patterson, Harrellson, Lamb and Jones, etc

I think some of that high school ratings is a fraud...people and scouts keep saying Kentucky has 4 1st round/lottery picks in the starting lineup...and I do not see it. Outside of Nerlen Noel, who else would be starting for Georgetown and be considered an upgrade at that position?

The 2013 class has the potential to be the greatest of all time. Cal could roll out 5 or 6 top 10 players. As far as I know, that hasn't been done before. And don't forget Dakari Johnson who is a top 20 player himself. I know there's a strong dislike of Cal on this board but he does his thing. Can't hate....well, at least I can't.

I had a look at the Kentucky roster the other day and wondered to myself, how is Cali going to make room on this roster for 6 or 7 more incoming freshmen? Clearly he can't advise this crop of underachieving freshmen to declare for draft. Perhaps magic suitcases full of money will appear under the glorious beds in the bball dorm and they can all walk on!
One on the happier days in my life came when Cheatucky didn't make the NCAA Tournament, them losing in the NIT is frosting for me.

The only reason I could see Trawick/Whittington etc. starting ahead of him is experience.

UK will be loaded next year if any of there this years class stays. We better hope that Goodwin, Polythese and Cauley-Stein all bounce for the league. Any two of those three with the twins will be trouble................

Yeah, it's extraordinary now and will go through the ceiling if they land Wiggins. Sorry to go backwards, but the earlier question as to why Kentucky even accepted an NIT bit brought back memories of the Esh fiasco when he turned down the bid, can't remember what year it was. This rarely happens (I'm sure other teams have said no, but not often), but the way he handled it was worse. Always thought that was the beginning of the end for him -- doubt Pops was happy about it.
