2150157, Anybody else watching Kentucky vs Kennedy Middle School? Posted by Y2Flound, Tue Mar-19-13 06:57 PM
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.
Though I have no doubt they will win by 20

2150158, ***raises hand*** Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 07:01 PM
I have doubt they'll win.

2150170, will kentucky at least win the NIT? Posted by LAbeathustla, Tue Mar-19-13 07:31 PM

2150177, Probably not Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 07:49 PM

2150161, Fuck this bullshit WBC is about to start. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 07:07 PM

2150171, Sadly, I'm here. Is Julius Randle commiting tomorrow? Posted by third_i_vision, Tue Mar-19-13 07:31 PM
Nerlens made this team respectable at the very least.
I'm good with two titles sandwiched around a bullshit NIT bid.
Maybe we'll get lucky and WCS returns.
|
2150176, That's the word. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 07:49 PM
My fingers are crossed.
WCS needs a lot of work. The NBA will eat him up.
I heard Kyle might transfer too.
|
2150181, Kyle needs to come to Duke and start right away. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Mar-19-13 07:57 PM
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!

2150194, Haha...if you want your 5 to grab 3 boards a game &... Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 08:07 PM

2150210, I bet like once a year and went big on Kentucky -3.5 in this game Posted by Y2Flound, Tue Mar-19-13 08:14 PM
Gotta remember when a bet seems like a sure thing it is not.

|
2150258, everybody playing for Kentucky has wanted this season to end for month Posted by will_5198, Tue Mar-19-13 08:47 PM
plus, it's a team that is mostly filled with low-effort dumbasses to begin with
scary bet no matter who they were playing
|
2150260, I knew they would play down to RMU, but still assumed a win Posted by Y2Flound, Tue Mar-19-13 08:49 PM
I figured the first half would go as it did, and then they would just beat them down the stretch for a 7-10 point win.
Never thought a loss was even possible let alone not covering a small spread.
Also underestimated how amped the RMU crowd would be, I think it being a small arena actually made it stand out more.
|
2150274, probably would've happened that way at Rupp Posted by will_5198, Tue Mar-19-13 09:02 PM
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.
|
2150278, ^^^^ this and they deserve everything they get Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 09:06 PM
Only 3 dudes tried, Archie, Polson, and Hood.
|
2150477, Ain't that on the coach? Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Mar-20-13 10:41 AM
|
2150483, Yeah, for not having a deep bench. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Mar-20-13 10:50 AM
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.

He like, completely reinserted doubts about his coaching ability LESS THAN A YEAR after he had almost erased them
He COMPLETELY LOST THIS TEAM.
COMPLETELY.

|
2150317, I would think that too. And have thought that. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 09:42 PM
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.
|
2150333, Yeah, I've thought about it and retract MOST of my sentiment. Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Mar-19-13 10:01 PM
Its hard winning with freshman.
But STILL. These niggas outright didn't CARE.
And that's on the coach.
PERIOD.

lehigh tho...

2150320, Damn was hoping Harrow would bounce back this game Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 09:45 PM
NOPE!
|
2150324, Man, I like Harrow a lot. But it's not looking good. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 09:48 PM
Recently they started recruiting a pg from Kentucky.
And Cal said he's gonna have 1 on 1 meeting with each player about their future in a response to "Will Harrow be back?"
|
2150341, i.e. he's pushing niggas out the door, exposing the flaw in his "system" Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 10:17 PM
|
2150363, Or just telling players they won't play much. Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 11:15 PM
Same thing with every school
|
2150474, Everyone clowning both teams, none of ya'll have seen RMU Posted by veritas, Wed Mar-20-13 10:35 AM
this year. not once.
that's a pretty legit team, and a weird environment to play in.
there's a reason they were only 3 point dogs.
Hell they had a better record than the cats, and was the SEC THAT much better than the NEC this year?

2150650, I think only us locals really got to see them play. Posted by ChuckFoPrez, Wed Mar-20-13 03:04 PM
