Yea, we'll need one. I think last year we did it by day or by round, can't remember. Might be good for one each day for at least the first weekend.

There's been so few posts about college basketball this year that it might be better one per weekend. I dunno, I put up a tester GDT, we'll see from there.

He's super young, but has a bad heart. I'm pretty sure he's stated before that sometimes he worries about the stress from coaching and what it does to him. It's the only reason I think he goes to a front office somewhere, possibly even back at ISU in the athletic department, but more likely in the NBA.

Lemme tell you about this guy named Urban Meyer....

Martin is a bad coach and he hasn't won anything with two NBA players on the team before, but I'm sure if he brings this one guy to Missouri it will be worth hiring him

Yeah, sounds like a solid enough hire, in that he isn't just, "WELL, HE'S A NATIVE SON," or have a bad history of sanctions.

No one likes Steve Alford in the 49 states that are not Indiana, not even if he is the head coach of your team and they're performing well, because everyone knows that a stupid loss to a 14 seed or a spirited defense of a rapist is right around the corner.

which means that he should go to the one state where they'll look past that because he played for Bobby and won some games.

Gregg Marshall tapping into his inner Butch Jones:

“I don’t know, Paul,” Marshall said when asked if this loss would get his team respect. “How many years do we have to do this to make people respect our program? I don’t know. That’s up to you guys. I mean, I know that we have the heart of a champion. I know these guys, how they work, how hard our staff works, how much time, energy, passion we put into this. This will just be more fuel for us.”

Second time in three years these WSU fuckers have talked poo poo before the UK game and ended up heading back home to that fuckhole called Wichita. Enjoy the off season.

I'm glad someone else is with me on the "Gregg Marshall is an rear end in a top hat" wagon.

It really isn't just that he's from Wichita State for me. I just happily cheered for a guy who coached K-State and made my rooting interest's life hell for years because, dammit, he may be a volcano, but he's a good guy who coaches well, but Marshall is the biggest whiny prima donna and his whole, "Pauvre moi, why aren't people in love with us more?" schtick is getting more and more obnoxious the more and more WSU's place in the tourney gets cemented. I think he's falling into this dumb delusion that he's turning the Shockers into the next Duke or something. He very well might never leave.

Also, Lawrence is way better than Lexington, but most of the rest of Kentucky is far more scenic than Kansas, it's true.

To be fair, I didn't go to school with Duke fans as a kid, so it's probably sample bias.

Really do think my initial impressions of this year that Kentucky was going to win it are going to pan out, though. Never should've been wowed by Villanova as much as I did as the season went on.

speaking as a former Kentucky resident, Kentucky fans are the worst and I do believe UL/UK rivalry is more toxic than UNC/Duke.

For starters, UK fans are on the Kobe /Red Sox/Yankees fans level of obnoxiousness . Except even more obsessed because UK basketball is all they have, especially for the rural fanbase.

But theres also a socioeconomic AND racial undertone with the UK/UL rivalry. Im sure you all remember Adolph Rupp had a wonderful reputation for his racial views.

Not to mention, UK fans have nothing but bad things to say about the city of Louisville, calling it a city full of thugs and debauchery (its the most racially diverse city in the state). This is also funny when you consider that Louisville is pretty much the only thing that keeps the state of Kentucky afloat. UK is also seen as the "rich kids" school too so we theres some Duke level elitism as well.

Im a Louisville Alumni so i might just be a tad biased

I think the tiebreaker for me is that, yeah, UK fans are the worst, but have they ever actively rooted for a team that has Grayson Allen or a Plumlee Brother on it? Like, I can't think of a single Wildcat that's been that punchable. Also, jokes about inevitable sanctions aside, Calipari actually cares a lot about his kids and having a fun style, while Coach K is just a huge prick.
