Santillan can’t be the closer anymore

I always liked the guy but he has stunk for the last 5-6 weeks

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Big hits by the Bat Cats!!!

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio The whole thing is ironic and sad. Pat is a wonderful person. She pays more than similar businesses. I seriously doubt a coffee shop employee would find a more amenable coffee shop. I am generally pro-union, as is ironically Pat!

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio The long time owner Pat retired and turned the business over to her son and daughter in law. As I understand it the new owners have announced they will shut down for a while to remodel. Meanwhile some employees want to unionize. I assume the employees have grievances.

[nelbar @nelbar]

The new AD(s) may change things.
Je might be in a holding pattern until that happens.

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

I don’t understand not hiring a GM. Pope is basically taking people who already worked at UK and giving them new titles….and then adding an outside analytics guy

It still is missing the key person, the negotiator/Agent connection, that I think has hurt UK

But it’s his call

[nelbar @nelbar]

True about stock, but if he is in the second round, you can make significantly more $ in college.

[T.J. Walker @TJWalkerRadio]

I’ll believe Milan Momcilovic bypasses the draft when I see it.

It would be really, really hard to improve his stock after the last two years.

49 percent from three on 7.5 attempts per game.

GOOD. NIGHT. That’s ridiculous.

Sadly, I’m not getting my hopes up.

[nelbar @nelbar]

99.9% probability that it is Barnhart.

[Kyle Tucker @KyleTuckerCBB]

I should clarify I assume this is Barnhart's gig the governor is referencing, although if there are multiple new $1 million jobs with "no defined duties" at UK, then that's also a wild revelation.

[Kyle Tucker @KyleTuckerCBB]

In 148 career games at UConn, Alex Karaban has never been held scoreless.

With 14:51 to go in the Elite Eight: 0 points, 0-6 FG, 0-4 3PT.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KyleTuckerCBB I cannot understand why such a smart guy continued the wholesale substitutions. It obviously did not work.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KyleTuckerCBB C

Pope went for size and athleticism this year , which was wise, but not enough shooting and offensive talent.
If he adds a couple of guys who can score, and retains Moreno, Williams, Chandler, and Lowe he should be much better.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KyleTuckerCBB “the most expensive roster in college basketball”. That is actually Indiana

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KyleTuckerCBB He has something to learn about communicating. I got sick of cal saying “I haven’t seen them”

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio Or why not just laugh, and say I don’t want to talk about payments.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio The $950k “job” is terrible optics and just seems greedy.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio One has to wonder if the UK athletic department is a cesspool. AD “retires” to a made up $950k job, and they turn over NIL to JMI; when the wife of a JMI executive is an assistant UK athletic director.

[nelbar @nelbar]

@JackPilgrimKSR Here is an office with no duties to bulk up your retirement portfolio.

[nelbar @nelbar]

When has playing Aberdeen at the point made sense against a good team ?

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Why don’t we start Lowe? It will never make sense to me

[nelbar @nelbar]

I don’t understand the coaching decisions. UK has no offense with Aberdeen at the point. Why keep trying it?
Why play JQ and another big against this team?

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

I made a resolution to let the First Half play out before getting too frustrated with UK Basketball games

But that was a fairly awful first half

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Congrats to Wandale

[nelbar @nelbar]

@KySportsRadio What are the odds he joins JMI when he retires?
