The @KentuckyMBB has many cupcakes on their pre conference schedule & 5 legit challenges - BBN -Cats fans & players deserve a more challenging schedule in getting ready for the @SEC - especially having a TEAM with over 21 MILLION in NIL dollars .
NCAA chair @SeminoleAlford on why Mississippi State hosted over Arkansas:
“They (Miss St) had a very strong conference schedule”
Miss State: 12th SOS
4-6 in SEC series (1-1 SEC Tourney)
Arkansas: 8th SOS
7-3 in SEC series (3-1 SEC Tourney)
Went to an Arkansas basketball game this year, I was walking out of the stadium, and was trying to find the right exit to go out of. Took a while and I noticed DJ Wagner walking with his mom through the concourse.
He probably didn’t want any fans to stop him, but I asked to take a picture and was the nicest I’ve ever heard an athlete be. He asked me how I was, told me and my family happy holidays. He had a huge grin on his face the whole time.
It hasn’t been the ideal path for DJ, but he’s taken all of it in stride. It’s a shame he won’t be a hog anymore, but I’ll always be a huge DJ Wagner fan.
@TreyDaerr I’d like to see Wagner and Knox stay. I loved the dynamic ark had this year with a couple elite freshman and some vet players in the system. Help guide them and grow as szn goes on. I think Knox for sure stays with cal.
@therandomsec I’ll agree that a s16 is disappointing w talent we had, But every hog fan knew we weren’t getting past Arizona if we met them. That was a matchup nightmare for ark. Az is so good and so deep. Front court amazing and that was ark flaw all szn was a weak front court and short bench
@KY_BballMemes For sure! I just need to learn to tune out to the idiots that come on here just to rage bait. Both sides have those idiots. Hell, I’m guilty of it a little bit haha. I typically just enjoy talkin ball.
@KY_BballMemes Hey man I get it. It just kind of felt like a dig was all. I wish the whole UK ark thing wasn’t so hostile and constantly a battle of who won the cal situation. I love the rivalry it’s become, but wish it was about W/L in our h2h games than constantly trying to win arguments.
@KY_BballMemes Ark also ranks 12th in the history of CBB in final 4 appearances. Sure not with the UK & Dukes of the world but to act like ark bball has never been anything is hilarious. I’m sure a follow up reply will be that they were in the 90’s and earlier—
Im not gonna look it up, but curious how all these HoF coaches stack up in terms of early first weekend exits. Cal gets the most grief for it from recency, but career wise I’m curious. Someone look this up for me and reply.
@WildcatsTongue Honestly at this point I think it’s more of a bit for most of these guys than anything. I’m sure they support both cal and UK, as they should. but they just know it will cause a stir on socials if they publicly show support for ark over UK.
