No coach in the history of bball has done less with more than John Calipari! 1 tournament win in the last 6 years is unacceptable.

Sorry Larry , tough loss .I thought they were going to pull it out last four minutes of game was painful . I don’t know how long Kentucky will stick with Coach C. , my guess when the booster money stops flowing in . Dan

And, as much as I hate that Kentucky lost.....and I do hate it. I've, as well as many, many Tar Heels have a tremendous respect for Kentucky-
Imo, the top Blue Blood is Kentucky. Theyve been good for about as long as College basketball has been going.
But, I will say that I'm happy for 40 year Coach of the Golden Grizzlies, Greg Kampe!
That win - against the King Blue Blood has made that man's life. No doubt about it.
He probably won't let on much, but have no doubt that's THE Highlight of his career.
I hope Oakland makes a deep run be quite honest.

I think he is a class act and good for basketball. We played and beat Oakland in November , Kampe made those early losses this year as a learning too and team responded and got better . Illini plays at 7:40 tonight , Should be a tough game . Dan

The wife was really worried when Sparty jumped out to that big lead.
I told her just to sit tight and see what happens as there was just way too much time left in the 1st half to think we were gonna get whooped.
And sure enough, ole Hubert lit a 🔥 under their young arses and they took off!
Very proud of my Heels this evening.
Great win over a great team and coach

Funny my wife said to me “I thought you said UNC was the better team ? “ I told her to just set back and enjoy the ride :winking-tongue . Yeah I would have liked to been in huddle during that timeout . They had no answer for Bacot / Davis . I think it was worse loss for MSU this year . Quite the spanking . Dan

We are hitting on all cylinders. I was hoping Hawkins would have a breakout game and he has given the Illini another weapon tonight . We will see how they play in second half . Shooting over 60% so if they can keep up their momentum we should be good .
