"Anybody else watching Kentucky vs Kennedy Middle School?"
Local Robert Morris hosting Kentucky on ESPN in the first round of the NIT
Some great stats
National titles for Kentucky: 8 NCAA apperances for RMU: 7
This gym holds like 3k at best, it's been a ton of fun to watch so far, this is the greatest athletic event that will ever happen to a RMU student, it's like a high school state championship atmosphere and somehow has Kentucky shook early.

6'10 and 240? Shoots the 3? White? Sounds like the quintessential Duke big man! And we have an opening at the 5 pretty much every year! Or if Marshall Plumlee's ready, he can be his Ryan Kelly!

but Kentucky has been especially dreadful on the road without Noel. they quit after losing him, quit in the SEC tournament, and tonight their seven foot forward had four rebounds -- quitting in the NIT is the trifecta.

He has about 3 guys that shouldn't have schollies and don't get in games.
One player who got hurt, but never played anyway.
He didn't recruit enough players.
Now maybe because he viewed it as a bridge year and didn't want to waste schollies. Or he didn't expect everyone to go pro last year and it was too late in the game to get players for this year.
So if Ryan Harrow doesn't do what he wants, he only has a walk on as a backup pg.
If Alex doesn't rebound or take care of the ball, he has Kyle to come in. But if Kyle doesn't play defense or rebound, he puts Alex back in.

I just take pleasure in watching teams that beat us lose, y'all on the list with schools like Syracuse, VCU and Michigan State, don't be upset about it, it is what it is.....

this is my thing I do, don't try to understand it, I am kind of irrational when it comes to my Jayhawks. I do give yall props for beating Missouri this year, they deserve every SEC loss they get.....

But looking at this team all year, I can't put it on his coaching ability.
I can put it on his talent evaluation though. And I read he just mentioned something in the post game about now judging players personalities.
Yeah, NOW judging personalities.
Dunking, dribbling, and shooting ain't all there is. And it seems like that's what he was doing.
You gotta get kids that will respond to coaching.
The freshman played like freshman.
And some of the kids that were counted on, didn't respond to the challenge.
This game was a great example of them not caring. And Cal was handcuffed, because he had no bench. He never has a bench, but with last year's crazy turnover it was at an all-time worst.
