Hell, I think they thought they were going when they beat Gardner-Webb by 18. Then, if they have a disappointing loss, they want to fire their coach.

UK stinking it up and making LSU look really good......not impressed with UK this year....over-rated for sure.

They look even worse than when they played UCLA. Kentucky is currently 9 but we're the only ranked Pac-12 team? What a joke.

So how has LSU lost 5 games?

Outside of Simmons, they are not a good team.

Victor takes a little pressure off of Simmons along with the SEC is just plain terrible

Looked like a pretty good team tonight. Three LSU players with double-doubles.

Watch out for A&M though.....they are building a program down there and are good this year....predict them to finish in the top 3 of the SEC....maybe even win it.

P.S. Am getting tired of ESPN fawning all over Simmons though..........yes, he's really good but enough already......

Victor made the right choice for him. He would not be getting 36 minutes.

I am happy Craig! I have met him twice and he is a really good kid!

ESPN sets the season's theme in November and sticks to it religiously. Remember the 'Freshman Tracker' or whatever they called it?

It was the Freshmen Focus.

Now it's the Freshman Focus.

Honestly speaks way more about Kentucky than it does LSU. LSU is ridiculously poorly coached.

Yes. Johnny Jones can recruit, but in game, it's basically a free for all. Even with Simmons, who has a really high basketball IQ.

Agree. Watching the close out of this Maryland-Wisconsin game and Diamond Stone is the only dependably firing piston for Maryland against a slow, awful shooting Wisconsin team. Game was mostly back and forth until Maryland started caring with about 7 minutes left.

CatsbyAZ · Post by **CatsbyAZ** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:52 pm

Hah! Fantastic finish in Madison. UW storms back for to tie it up by 10 with 22 ticks left. Melo Trimble marches back down court and drains an NBA-long three with 2 sec left. Exciting finish but overall a terribly unmotivated showing for Maryland.

Virginia lost to G Tech.

As I said, not a good team. Good talent, but they don't play together for shit.

Bangkok Wildcat · Post by **Bangkok Wildcat** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 8:16 pm

Maryland @ Michigan down 33-44.....looks like another upset in the making? Or is Diamond Stone going to put up a one-man show and rescue them again?

Agreed....Dude is a beast....without him, Maryland is way over-rated.

And the Aggies haven't lost since the Scummies beat them by 13....they are 4-0 in SEC, 14-2, and ranked #15? in latest poll...they also have a kick-ass recruiting class next year.

They are my Big Bro's school so have been following then closely. They are good this year..... I think they will finish top 3 in the SEC and have a decent run in the tourney. Gig 'Em Aggies!

Young team with less athleticism and star power than last year. Okafor, Jones, Winslow...it's rare to have that much talent together, even for a single season.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 4:14 pm

Auburn beats Kentucky. ESPN said that Auburn hasn't beaten a ranked team since 2009 and hasn't beaten Kentucky in the last 18 tries.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 4:16 pm

I see nothing wrong with Calipari sending his players to the locker room early. Court rushing is dangerous for all parties involved.

We couldn't have the team we've had the last two years in a year like this lol.

It's wide open this year. Wide open. If Trier is 100% come March and no more injuries Arizona will have a chance to win it all. Yes you heard that right.

When was the last time Duke was unranked?

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:54 pm

Haven't lost 3 in a row since 2007.

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:55 pm

If I heard that correctly, they haven't lost three straight to unranked opponents since '68-'69!

Duke is in major trouble without Amile Jefferson.

Yes, the look bad.

Funny watching them pass the ball around the parameter to only launch a 3 for a brick.

Should fall to #13 in the coaches poll next week.

Too bad.

I've exorcised my Duke hate. Love em or hate em, a strong Duke program is good for college basketball.

Coach K is refusing to play his bench too. Chase Jeter cant even see the floor
