College Hoops Thread 2011-2012

Boy, did Johnny C have that "deer in the headlights" look in the last 6 minutes or so?????? Reliving some bad memories, no doubt. As a UK fan, I'm glad they won and brought the trophy back to Lexington for another season. As a KU hater, I'm glad to see the Jayhawks go down. But I sure give them credit; those kids have learned how to hold on till the last second; well...last 2.8 seconds.

Once again, Calipari was mostly out-coached, but this time, most of the free throws went down when needed, and the talent carried them on. 2 minutes into H2 and I'm scratching my head. 6 minutes in, and I'm shouting at my TV, "Take your foot off the brake pedal, Cal!!!!!!!" You build a double-digit lead in H1 with the heat, then hook your studs to a buggy and insist on a Sunday drive for H2?!?!?!?!?!? He's not going to be able to put this kind of team on the floor, year in and year out. He'd better learn to coach a little better.

Here's to a fun season, and I'm ready for the next one. Both Prohm and Caanan will be returning to Murray State for the 2012-2013 season, and I gotta go get some season tickets!!!!!

Well, season's over, and now the recruiting wars for player and for coaches.

UK got its replacement for Davis, it appears, but did not get Shabbazz, who is going to the Bruins.

Son Of Ricky P is going off to his first head coach gig, replacing Isaiah Thomas at FIU, Probably couldn't do any worse.

Here at home, rumors are again swirling that Mississippi State is prowling after Murray State coach Prohm, even after he signed a new deal with the Racers.

As for Shabbazz, keep in mind that a few weeks ago the NCAA warned every school that they were looking into Mohammad for possible violations regarding his time with AAU teams and possible payments made to him from them, and thus he might be found ineligible.

As for UK's replacement for Davis, I assume you mean Noel. I am curious as to what folks in Kentucky made of that story from him that, down in New Orleans during the Final Four, some UK alumnus told the kid that if he signed with the Wildcats he could take his wife home that night.

Hey, I don't make this stuff up . . . I leave that to others.

I'm a UK fan, and I 100% believe someone said that to him................and it probably won't be the last time.

Some UK fans are REALLY crazy!!!
