But they got Kentucky in Rupp.

Kentucky simply isn't very good. It is highly disappointing that we played our worst home game of the year, and 3rd-worst of the entire season, against them. Baffling and irritating.

Texas Tech beat #1 Arizona Saturday, but playing like shit against unranked Arizona State right now, done 6, 62-56 with 5:00 left. Tech with 15 turnovers now.

And TT goes down, and Arizona State fans rush the court as well.

What a strange night for college basketball.

The stars are aligning for us, let's see if we take advantage.

The Mick Cronin things is interesting.  Watch his post game interactions with the media too.

Normally, self disciplining a player for a cheap foul in a blow out loss would garner some respect, but he is getting universally destroyed on the twitters.

Yeah, he was just a dick to that reporter. Classless.

They had that game circled as soon as Cal beat them last year. Not necessarily making any excuses, but it didn't surprise me at all that we lost that game. Pope's seat is already warm and it would be on fire had he lost 2 in a row to Cal and Arkansas.

Just about every team has some head scratching games this year, except maybe Duke and Michigan.

I think we finished 13-5 in conference play. I don't think we have the inside game to compete with Florida, especially at their place, and I think Alabama will hit 15+ 3s against us with as bad as our perimeter defense is. I can see is losing by double digits there and at Florida.

The team that came into the Ark/KY game most desperate the last two years won. I think that had a lot to do with it.

Hopefully we've put our sleepwalking through every third game thing behind us now.

As I think about it, they're not THAT different from us talent wise.

Oweh and Acuff may be rough equivalents as talents and pros.

Chandler and Aberdeen might equal Brazile and Thomas.

The rest are role players as to who's playing good or bad on any given day.

Vehemently disagree. Acuff is a freshman w/ better numbers and a certain lottery pick. Oweh is a senior who is a longshot to even get drafted.

maleek thomas's stats are almost identical to oweh's and better than aberdeen's. acuff is on another level.

Fair enough. I guess I don't follow Kentucky enough to know the true status of Oweh.

They really are. At this point we have every opportunity to play our way into a 4 seed spot.

Which is why I fully expect us to get the doors blown off tonight.

Bama seems to always have our number. No way we win.

Horrible news from Knoxville.  He left behind a wife and small children.  Made me think about when Paul Eels passed. I watched Paul as a kid on Nashville tv.

Tragic.  Story says they were expecting another child.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
