Keep up with what? I was the one who brought Matta into it because CBF slammed Cal for not winning a title yet despite his plethora of talent. If Cal has underachieved at uk and with his title game at Memphis than what has Matta done? Cal has had more talent, but Matt's is top 3-5 in that span and done much, much less with it.

And sorry for the iPhone assanine correction lol. I hate this thing sometimes.

Sorry, Laley, but I don't understand what this means. Anyway, Matta's been to one Final, as has Calipari (with Memphis, since vacated), so I guess I really don't see the point of this argument. My posts were aimed at CGW's comments regarding Matta, who I thought was unjustly getting criticized, until you just admitted that you were the one who instigated the whole thing...maybe I'M the one who should try and keep up!!! :(

I just dont get on this forum much since its meh. And dont worry, you wont see me much on here. And as for spring....that was the football forum. And cbf, Im waiting for you to prove me that Im wrong, since you think Im crazy on what I posted. Matta gets players that stay for a few seasons and does less than what Cal does with one and dones, with little experience.Matta should do much better than what he does. Fact.
dude, no one cares what your opinion is on this site. You are the worst person in the world. and you don't know shit about college football, how would you know anything about college bball?

Fab Melo is back and in a big way. Taking charges, blocking shots, dunks. Syracuse up 48-27 on St. John's early in the 2nd half.

That line is saying Matta has had top 3-5 talent in the time Cal has had the top talent.

As for Matta, I only brought him in because CBF said
Cal was a underachieving at UK with his talent. My point is, if he is underachieving without an early exit what has Matta been in the same timeframe? He has probably been worse. I'd go more into it, but I'm in
Miami with no computer on my phone and it would take to long. But I don't see how a big Matta supporter like CBF can claim Cal hasn't done enough with his talent. It just doesn't make sense to me.

This is a huge game for the Irish. A win here would definitely put them in the tournament barring a meltdown

Syracuse beat SJU 95-70. Boeheim tied Dean Smith for 3rd on the all-time wins list with # 879. Fab Melo scored a career high 14 points in his return. Dion Waiters had his best game in a couple weeks as well.

G'town comes to the Dome on Wednesday night.

The Irish surprisingly is tied for 2nd in the big easy after today's win. Pretty remarkable if you seen them earlier in the year vs mizzu and gonzaga

John Calipari has been urging fans to buy up the remaining tickets for UK's game tonight at South Carolina. Appears to be a home game for UK :) Wouldn't be surprised if their fans outnumber USC fans tonight...

I know USC isn't very good, but I wouldn't be surprised if they pull off the huge upset.

I'd be shocked. It's UK -10.5 and I think that's a near-lock. The only thing USC has going for them is...Kentucky has upcoming:

vs Florida
at Vanderbilt
vs Mississippi
at Mississippi State
vs Vanderbilt
at Florida (UGA at home in-between)

The Cats will be tested in the last 3 weeks, as their conference schedule was heavily back-loaded. So, could today be an overlook with Florida coming to Rupp on Tuesday? We'll see...but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna bet the Cats.

For the SEC, which has disappointed, it is. Look who they have played thus far...

Then again, UK might just be 1-2 steps above every other SEC team this year, so it may never appear to be murderer's row. Like KU was (and still is), any game at Rupp Arena is almost impossible for the road team to win anymore...

Coming from the Kansas/OSU/Rutgers fan. ROGL!!!! And cbf, you talked about one year at OSU where they had one and dones. How many years has Matta been at OSU? UK loses a bunch each year under Cal (including the players that will probably leave after this season). Nice try. OSU should be doing what Duke does with Matta's good recruiting and keeping players for more than one year. And if Cal doesnt make the final 4 this year, it will look bad. He should of 2 years ago, no doubt. Last year it wasnt expected.

LaSalle drops a game at St. Joe's.
Arkansas drops a game at LSU.

I know it's a little early, but the bubble is becoming incredibly blurry this year. We might see a massive influx of non-power six leagues getting bids this year. It has been down in recent years, but I could see at least 8 mid-majors getting at-large bids, maybe as many as 12.

If teams like Southern Mississippi, Murray State, Middle Tennessee, Iona, Long Beach State and Nevada don't win their leagues, watch out. The Colonial could sneak in a 2nd team. The A-10 is wide open, the Missouri Valley is going to get Wichita and Creighton, the WCC is going to get 2, possibly 3 teams, the Mountain West is going to get 3, maybe 4, and C-USA might get 2 if Memphis continues to play well.
