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.
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.
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

Serious question…
What is the Selection Committee going to do if these players get declared ineligible?
Will Kansas still get credit for this win?
Will Kentucky get punished for the loss?
This is such a disaster that the NCAA created.
@NCAA STEP UP AND DO YOUR JOB!!!!
THESE TWO SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING!!!
18/7/2 AT HALFTIME!!!

The only reason that Diallo made contact with the neck of the defender is because the defender’s arm got underneath Diallo’s and pulled his up toward his own neck. Don’t like it? Don’t reach.

Please point out the part here that makes Miami’s touchdown an incomplete pass. Maybe a. 3. but the way it’s written isn’t exactly black and white.

If this is not a catch by the rules, then the rules need to change.
He secures the ball inbounds with two feet. Then, his momentum takes him out of bounds. Then, the defender knocks it out.
That’s garbage if you ask me.
Absolutely horrendous miss. This game should be tied.
This was not called pass interference on Tennessee.
The Tennessee defender is all over the Kentucky receiver prior to the ball arriving.
That’s a bad missed call.
This may have cost Kentucky the difference between a touchdown and a field goal as it was 4th down after this.

There is no way that someone looks at someone who is in the NBA at age 19, was a top 7 pick, and is averaging 26/6/3 in the first 6 games of his career, and says, “Maybe one day he will be good.” 🤦🏻♂️
Darius Acuff is the poster child for empty calories scoring.
He's taking everything I've disliked about guys like Anfernee Simons, Cam Thomas and Keyonte George, but stretching it to its absolute extreme.
Maybe one day he'll be good. Maybe one day he'll find the difference between a good and bad shot.
Maybe one day, far into the future he'll actually guard someone...anyone.
The Sacramento Kings are 0-11 between preseason and regular season. Keagan Murray and Malik Monk are playing the worst basketball of their lives. Domas looks frustrated.
If they replaced Acuff with even a league average PG like Quickley they'd be 2-4 or 3-3. That's how actively bad he's been at controlling tempo, defending and doing virtually anything that contributes to winning other than aura farming for his own stats.
Yes, the league should call. And they should literally rescue his teammates from him.
Build out a team of only offensive rebounders, screeners and defenders. Guys who will catch his grenades, rebound his misses and sing at his alter of self-focussed basketball.
Darius Acuff Jr represents an archetype of everything I despise about AAU basketball, and everything I despise about Vivek Ranadive.
Years from now, they'll make a documentary about what this year was like for his teammates. And then you'll see how many careers had to be ruined for this undersized Iverson wannabe to chase Rookie of the Year.
It's disgusting basketball. And if you're cheering for it, you're insane.

Well, the officials clearly are not quick learners as they miss it again just minutes later. I mean…come on…this is a textbook example of pass interference.
This was NOT called pass interference on Vanderbilt.
The defender clearly makes contact with the receiver before the ball arrives preventing him from making a play on the ball.
That’s a BAD missed call that stopped Kentucky’s drive.

What were the officials watching on this play because it clearly wasn’t the game?!
This is the most obvious pass interference of the entire game, and it goes uncalled.
Horrible.
This was NOT called pass interference on Vanderbilt.
The defender clearly grabs the receiver preventing him from making a play on the ball.
That’s a BAD missed call that stopped Kentucky’s drive.

What more does Alex Wilkins have to do to call timeout? Yelling and motioning for it isn’t enough? Does he have to submit it in writing? Get it notarized? What’s the deal??

Obviously, option 1 is just win and don’t worry about it.
Option 2 - The game plan for Kentucky should be to limit everyone else on KU. Make TKR beat you. If he does great and UK loses, then they can make their case to the selection committee to throw the game out.

Kentucky is 6-1, 4-1.
Vanderbilt comes to town next weekend.
My CHALLENGE to BBN…take this weekend as seriously as Alabama and LSU. This stuff matters now.
SHOW UP!!!
