Very admirable job by Matthew Mitchell and I follow them quite closely. I am proud that we have such strong teams in Kentucky to follow and I will add the wonderful job that is being done at WKU. Attacking the other programs and comparing things make us sound like third graders. We need to get a life outside sports. I might exclude Paulie on that last remark. :)<br />charlie mcadamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800800256342567962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-27405246171317151832015-04-03T20:14:34.006-04:002015-04-03T20:14:34.006-04:00Makes sense.

It's Walz over MM by a mile. And Cards outperformed Cats in the NCAAs before Walz, under Collen. And, finally, it's a whole different game if Cards get Dayton in the Yum! in front of 10,000+ fans.<br /><br />Durr didn't look lazy to me..there was not much defense being played out there by anyone until the last two minutes or so. Durr did get beat on a couple drives, but it was pretty telling to me that she was out there, along with Cole and Fuehring, in the final 2-3 minutes when the game was on the line and they actually started defending.<br /><br />Have you looked at Durr's YouTube videos? By the time she leaves here she'll be in the same conversation as Angel and Shoni.<br /><br />What leads you to believe that Cole isn't that great? She'll start at the point for four years and will almost always be the quickest player on the floor. She's fearless - did you see those two floaters in the lane over the 6-4 centers? I was not as impressed by Fuehring as I was by Durr and Cole, but Fuehring sure showed effort at both ends. She will at worst be a solid role-player.<br /><br />Doubt that Walz would go the JC route to pick up a two-year player with 10 freshmen and sophomores on next year's roster. And Cox can't help next year - she's in the class of 2016.Mike Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-91450068710803837482015-04-03T15:45:58.641-04:002015-04-03T15:45:58.641-04:00Jackson gives us an overabundance of point guards ...Jackson gives us an overabundance of point guards Durr Cole Jackson CarterWadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-47985477742372440652015-04-03T15:38:23.997-04:002015-04-03T15:38:23.997-04:00Isn't it strange MM can beat Louisville with e...Isn't it strange MM can beat Louisville with ease every year and can't do much in the tournament?

And yes (sorry to say) he has beaten Louisville more than I'd like. But the true measure of a coach's success (WBB or MBB) is the NCAA tournament. And in that regard MM hasn't done it yet. Walz has. Yeah, you can say that MM had the misfortune of running into UConn a couple times, but so has Walz. And the Baylor win, followed by a win over a pretty good UT team, trumps anything UK has done by a wide margin.<br /><br />Walz has also been able to get butts in the seats. Gov, I'd like your take on why MM, with a fan base that (in their minds at least) is second-to-none), hasn't been able to do that. The turnout for the UK-Dayton game was an embarrassment.
