I'm always amazed by how nonchalantly fans will throw out the "players didn't care" line.

How would you describe not listening to coaching, not working harder after a loss, showing little desire to get better?

Was it Coach Cal who said players had little desire to get better and didn't work hard?

[LetsGoPeay]

your coach is a cheating scumbag.

Proof? Any charges ever levied against him? It's odd how most coaches respect and are friends with him...like Tom Izzo

And at least our fanbase has a reason to be arrogant. I've dealt with arrogant IU fans (not you) for years, and they have had no reason to be so.

Two invalidated Final Fours is proof enough for just about anyone not associated with Kentucky. But we've been over this before and everyone knows that you will continue to look through your blue colored glasses and claim that Cal couldn't possibly have known everything about what was going on the most prominent players in his program and having a guy like World Wide Wes be closely associated with your program is perfectly normal so we'll just leave it at that.

It was teammates of the PG who took a "leave of absence" and caused problems in the locker room; it was teammates/people around the program who said that Goodwin kept doing what he wanted. Cal said publicly that certain people weren't coachable but he never would name a name, he isn't gonna throw someone under the bus. He also said things happened w that team that he'd never allow to happen again, which is what most around the program described as an attitude of entitlement among certain players.

I call it UVA football.

Hoo's, I think you're rooting for the wrong gender basketball team.

This is what you should be rooting and talking about!



Tiffany Suarez for your Google fanatics

Yea, she is well viewed around these parts.

Julius Randle is the most dominant, unstoppable offensive player I've ever seen at Kentucky. Reminds me a ton of Antoine Walker and Lamar Odom. This team is scary fucking good, and if he doesn't get hurt, Randle will be the first pick in the draft. He is truly unguardable with one guy.

Thank you Buckeye for fixing my posting issues!!!!! Jason I'm not a fan of this kid!! I don't think his piss cures cancer! lololol! first pick??? maybe in the late first round? is he flunking out? or heading to Europe? lolol he didn't look to dominant against us?(MSU). he did look good against our third string big men? but his ass got owned by payne and dawson . good luck the rest of the season. you guys are a good team in a weak basketball conference . maybe you'll do better in the NIT this year! I see you guys added Robert Morris to your schedule!!!

[ajalves]

maybe you'll do better in the NIT this year!

Funny because its true....

[shel311]

UK to the NIT and Randle a late 1st round pick?


That's the very definition of BOLD statements.

Can we wager on that?

Again Beefy....he ate up your starting big, and got him into foul trouble. You're the only person who didn't think he was dominant As for him "getting owned", not sure what game you watched, it obviously wasn't this one.

And you're right, late first round....if you mean "late in the first three picks of the first round", sure.

So: No. 1 pick, who would you take? There is a long way to go. Right now, my short answer is Parker, Randle, Wiggins, in that order. My shorter answer: Any one, please.

Do me a favor Beefy, stick to talking about gaming That said, if you wanna put your money where your mouth is, I'll bet you $100 that (barring some catastrophic injury like a knee) Mr Randle goes in the top 10 picks in the Draft when he goes pro. In fact, I'll even give you 5-to-1 odds.

Bold is one word....

I've put the wager out there, we'll see what happens.

I am really not wanting to get into this whole UK thing. But the night you 2 were talking about this I was there.

Your exact words Jason were, Randle would be the #1 pick in this upcoming NBA draft. So you are saying he is 1 and done and will be the #1 pick. So to switch your statement to WHEN he leaves and now a top 10 pick for a $100 is stupid.

And Randle in the MSU game didnt do SHIT in the 1st half, In the 2nd half when Payne and Dawson got in foul trouble is when Randle started to score.

That is all I am saying on this one.

[shel311]

To be fair, it's actually smart.

If Beefy says he's a late 1st rounder, he'd probably be willing to take the top 10 bet(if he's in the betting mood). If he's willing to take the top 10 bet, wouldn't it be smart of Jason to NOT offer the bet at top 1 or top 3?

[trendon]

The total on the Iowa State/Brigham Young game is 181.

I'm pretty sure I know what I said. I never guaranteed he would be THE number one pick. I said that he had a great shot and, based on how he played that night, many writers had he and Parker ahead of Wiggins for the number one pick.

And I'm pretty sure basketball is a game of two halves. First half he tried to stay outside and drive, or got it and hesitated. Second half, he got to the block and attacked as soon as he got the ball. It's called adjusting. Btw, I love how it wasn't until they got into foul trouble that he scored.... Seeing as he scored against them plenty, and got them into foul trouble as he hit FTs. Usually you get I to foul trouble by struggling to guard your guy. Izzo himself said they were trying to double team him but he was too quick.

As for the bet, if Beefy wants to claim he will go "late first round" then I'll call him on it. He doesn't have to take the bet.

Plus, I'm remembering a certain UK player who, this time last year, was pegged for top three and then got hurt. I know a lot can change between now and then, but to claim end of first round? OK... I'm giving him twenty of thirty picks, including three lottery slots.

Jason I have already done you a huge favor ,(you just don't remember it) before the MSU/uk game you were all excited and telling me how great uk was and how we (MSU) were going to get our asses handed to us! you SAID and I Quote "I don't see us losing a game" and " I see us(uk) going 40-0! " Then you got all really excited and started talking even more shit! lolol. I have come to the conclusion that you get so pumped up that even you don't remember the BS you say!!! after the MSU Game you came back down to earth for a day or so! Then you came back talking up that Julius randle kid like he was Larry Bird/Magic Johnson/Micheal Jordon/Lebron James/Dewanye Wade all in one clone! if I wanted your money I would of cleaned you out before the MSU/uk Game!!! and you know it! And I do remember someone who hates MSU trying to get you to bet against MSU and you passed on it ! they also offered to take Louisville over uk and again you failed to jump on that offer? now you twist your words on here and try to make me sound like I am old and crazy(which maybe I am) you said randle would be the hands down NUMBER 1 PICK IN THIS SEASONS NBA DRAFT! YOU SAID IT NOT ME! now it changed to a lottery pick? And I do love how you throw out Tom Izzo's name out every chance you get to try and give your coach some love!
but when we are playing Cod or GTA5 you always sing your teams praises and act like our teams(anyone who not a atl braves fan/uk wildcats football/whoop) don't matter! I still remember the Detroit Tigers only have one good player line!
NOW DO ME A FAVOR STOP TALKING ABOUT MR randle LIKE HE IS THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY BASKETBALL AND AGAIN I DON'T KNOW WHAT GAME YOU WATCHED ? BUT UK LOST TO MSU. mr randle got owned. YOU CAN TRY AND SPIN DOCTOR THAT ANYWAY YOU WANT TOO! Beefy

[Weasel]

I still remember the Detroit Tigers only have one good player line!

Was this claim made in 2000!? I see you Juan Gonzales!
