Caught some of of OK-ISU and KU-WV.
Let's just say we have a long way to go, regardless of who is the coach.

It's not just Big 12. The SEC is way behind the ACC and B1G too. We play athlete ball. They play basketball.
Unfortunately we will be stuck with a lame duck coach for maybe 2 more years until anything is done about our program. We are so far removed from having a quality basketball team.
But somehow Zuppardo and the magical recruits of 2015 are going to change our fortunes.**
Top 2 schools in each conference played... Kentucky beat Kansas by 32
We actually had a big12-sec challenge this year. Big 12 won 6-4. The sec had mizzou and auburn (worst 2 teams) in matchups
Taking shots at ray and our current players isn't enough now. You've gotta take shots at our players that haven't even played yet. I hope they disappoint you by turning this thing around.Quote:

They're quality players no doubt (though Strugg is a project at best) but they aren't going to be what transforms this current roster into a winning team.
Will they transfer us into being a great team? Probably not. They do fill some needs though...Quote:

Zuppardo can shoot 3s. We desparately need him to shoot well for us.
Strugg is very doubtful to help much next season, but he brings shot blocking. We have no shot blockers at the moment
We are right with Auburn and Mo.,don't kid yourself .By the way we lost to TCU in that Texas Tour. ,so make that 7-4.Quote:

Only tournament that matters is the one at the end of the year and besides UK I don't see the SEC lasting very far.Quote:

Lsu is very dangerous bc of their bigs. Do they have the guard play though?
Georgia will most likely bow out in first or 2nd round.
OM (pains me) could be really dangerous. If summers somehow finds his game again, him and moody could make a run at the S16 imo. Guard play is crucial in the tourney and they have potential there.
I'll say ark and kentucky only teams in S16 though
You just take the Hugh Freeze route of insulting our players by saying we have to and are going to recruit better. Do you think the reason we play awful offense is because we have awful players?Quote:

SEC will probably get 6 teams in the dance for the first time in a while probably about 6 or 7 years..
LSU is in. I can't imagine SC gets in. Do you know of anyone projecting them in?Quote:

Maybe its just too much MSU viewing.
We have a awful offense because of awful coaching simple.Quote:

Kentucky can go undefeated and win every tourney game by 35 points, and the entire roster can eventually be NBA all-stars, and it doesn't mean the CONFERENCE is good, it means kentucky is good.
It's just a cultural difference. Go up north or to Big 12 country and they couldn't give two shits about baseball yet we have a 10 page thread for a Tuesday game vs APB. Big 12, ACC and B1G take basketball more serious than the SEC. It's a religion for them like football is for the South. Another reason why we should recruit outside the South more.Quote:
