Second Take

We are here to talk about sports. Mainly Kentucky basketball.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@Mr_Ogle @J0chil @MattSakR2NG The likelihood depends on the timeline. I’d be surprised if most of these across the sport hold up. The question is whether or not they will be finalized before the end of the season because the processes just take forever.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

I still believe in Kentucky.

@panthe92315 The SEC said he couldn’t transfer to another SEC team because he didn’t enter the transfer portal when he was told he didn’t have eligibility remaining.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

I’m defending Mark Pope on this.

Teams are not playing by the same rules.

Kentucky tried to add Mark Mitchell. The SEC said no.

Meanwhile, KU has 3 players on their team (2 playing) who went to court & are allowed to play.

They essentially have 2 Mark Mitchell’s.

@B_of_H @Laiuy337430 @DaleKnowsBall The rule was you get to play four. Redshirts were an exception to get up to four, not an exception to get a fifth.

@DanielHagerOn3 I wouldn’t call myself a Pope truther, but there’s this. https://t.co/vRrUGomyoZ

@koby_long7 That would be bad for your resume. You should want them to be good from this point on.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Kansas has multiple starters who had to go to court in order to play college basketball. By NCAA rules, they are cheating.

[That’s A Bad Call @BadCallOfficial]

#32 from Kansas shoves #11 from Kentucky into the defender.

This was called a foul on #11 from Kentucky.

That’s a BAD call.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@Raythedon527 So I have to Tell Pope the SEC rules that he’s currently following, but I can’t tell Kansas the NCAA rules which they are currently not following?

I just want everyone to play under the same rules and not those with more favorable judges to benefit more.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@MistaHooHoo @Rock_Chalk_Jake @Ballgame340 People can’t comprehend that TKR was under the old rules, and he played 35+ games in four seasons. He’s the class of 2021. His five year clock is up as well if he’s trying to argue he should be under the new rules.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@christie98 @GregSankey Greg Sankey won’t do that when the #1 team in the country from his conference would be negatively impacted.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

Kansas got 42 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists from players the NCAA says should not be playing.

Over 47% of their points were scored by players who are only eligible because their court orders haven’t been finalized.

Have Bilas/Shulman mentioned a single thing about 2 Kansas players only being able to play because they went to court? They talked about “experience” but that’s it.

Also, they keep saying Council “will be back.” He might not though.

These 5th year players have no guarantee

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

Vibes…

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@JackPilgrimKSR I know it’s an exhausting topic, but Kansas is playing two players the NCAA says are ineligible.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@BigBlueDrew33 The strategy is let the restraining order players go off so they have a solid argument this game shouldn’t count if they are ruled ineligible.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@Couch_29 Especially if getting shoved = a foul.

[Second Take @SecondTake20]

@MattSakR2NG It is frustrating, but what is he supposed to do when he has called for fouls when he gets shoved?
