Hey guys I'm adding Kalnos to my ignore list, instead of simply ignoring him and using the feature as it's intended I'm going to make a post and inform the entire forum. I totally got the last word.

Guess what: No one gives a shit AND Kentucky won. WOOOOOOOOOOOO

SEC teams always seem to have the most obnoxious fans. Save for Vandy. Poor things.

I live in Nashville, and LOL. Vandy fans are some of the worst, because not only are do most of them have that "southern entitled white kid" attitude, they're much smarter than most of the SEC schools and make everyone know it.

I'm sorry to be doing this but I've added you to my ignore list. It's likely you don't care but you've personally attacked me twice. Poor sportsmanship is a pet peeve of mine.

Damn, that was pretty classless.

I got love for the true blue fans, but I can't stand the bandwagoners and the folks who are dicks about it.

Good game, Wildcats. Well, it was a hell of a season, more than I could have ever asked for. CARDS FOR LIFE!

I think there is a misunderstanding. I'm a fan of college basketball. My team has been out for some time, I'm on no one's band wagon. I just watched a great game of bball. I must admit that I wanted UK to win, though, since they knocked my team out. :)

EDIT: I just realized what you meant by this post. Nothing to see here.

The only classless thing is ignoring someone when you can't muster a halfway decent argument. Poor free throw shooting is not a sign of being outcoached and Pitino was not intentionally putting UK on the line, I think the end of the game is evidence enough of that.

Congrats on the season Mighty, I really wanted UK to win but I would have rooted for UL had they won. UL and IU are going to be the best teams next year IMO.

losing the last 4 of 6, then winning the BE Tourney and getting a Final Four...

Siva, Russ Smith, Blackshear, Dieng, Behanan, all coming back...plus we'll see how Luke Hancock does here, too.

Yeah, I really can't complain.

Awh. Bro-fist.
 
And the most idiotic call of the tournament so far goes to Steve Kerr saying Dieng was the best player on the floor, right before Davis threw down another dunk and they flashed the graphic showing that Danny Manning was the last player in the FF to have a stat line as good as Davis had for the game.

Dieng played good, but the dude missed 2 point blank dunks.

I love how Kalnos is making me feel good after my team just was eliminated from the final four.

because I'm a jackass when I don't agree with someone or because I'm a student at UL and don't hate them? I'm a senior at the school, it's hard to not pull for them when they aren't playing UK.
 
I'm a big Anthony Davis fan, but I just don't know how great of a pro he's gonna be. Guy is going to need to put on some muscle/weight at the next level. He's going to get killed inside in the NBA.

I think Kidd-Gilchrist will be the guy who turns out the best pro. Then again, it's so hard to tell with Kentucky, they share the ball so much that guys can disappear in the offense for almost entire games for various reasons that weren't their own.

Kevin Garnett and Bill Russell turned out pretty okay despite their lack of bulk...And he just turned 19 years old and almost no big men in the NBA postup anymore. He'll struggle with seal-outs at first, but his frame is huge and he's completely awesome.

The weight thing is seriously overstated..

That turnaround jump hook he had with either hand tonight is an unblockable shot against any defender in the league. He just has to get post position with speed and quickness instead of power.

What is more questionable is his man defense in the post and his ability to hold his position for rebounding. But really how many teams have 2 strong post scorers where Davis can't guard the weaker offensive player and come over from the weak side to block shots? Maybe 2 or 3? Also his ability to go get rebounds out of his area will help him negate his weaknesses in maintaining rebounding position against stronger guys.

It's not like guys like Dirk and KG were ever huge hulking muscular dudes.. The era of the strong Karl Malone/Charles Barkley type power forwards is over. He'll be going up against a lot of face up big men who shoot a lot of midrange jumpers, not dominant post scorers.
