Any KY Wildcat Fans Here?

I like Kentucky basketball, but I hate the "One and Done" thing going on there. Yes, it's going on elsewhere as well, but Calipari deals in it bigger than anyone else.

That being said, I agree it would be cool for any college team in the modern era to go undefeated. I'd like to see Kentucky do it, and then I'd like to see the proposed "Freshman Can't Play" rule go into effect soon thereafter.
 
I agree about the one and done deal, but Cal has mastered the concept. It is absolutely crazy how he can get young guys to buy into his system. I think if you passed the rule that freshman can't play a lot of the kids would take the overseas route like the kid that was going to go to SMU. I wish they would adopt the same rule as football and require them to be in college for three years.Thanks for the reply man.I love my UK athletics. How many years has it been since someone ran the table in mens basketball? I know UCLA did it several time but that was many years ago.

I think the last team to do it was Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers back in 1979?

Yes, I agree about make them stay 3 years in college, as opposed to the "Freshman can't Play" rule. But then wouldn't the NBA have to cooperate and adopt a higher age limit rule? I don't think the NBA Players' Association would ever go for that.

Correction: 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers went 32-0. No undefeated Division I mens basketball teams have done it since. Although a Division II school did it back in 1996 I think.
 
Id say you are right about th players association not agreeing to it. I hope they can keep the run alive. 39-40 years since its been done. Go Big Blue!

UK is well on its way to the SEC championship. LSU getting beat helped a lot.

Yes, they beat my Auburn Tigers today. But Auburn had a hell of a run. Bruce Pearl is gonna bring them back to relevancy before he bolts for a top-tier program somewhere 2-3 years from now.

Good luck Kentucky. Hope they go undefeated and win it all.
 
Bruce Pearl is a good coach and he has that program heading in the right direction. Id say your right about him bolting as soon as he gets his rep built back up. They have a top tier football program too.
 
I hope/wish UK could get their football program going. I think Stoops is doing a good job but the wheels all but fell of four recruiting class this year. He is still 10x better then JOKEr Phillips.
 
They have been down in basketball for several years. I think they will come out of it in the next couple of years. Pearl at Auburn, Anderson at Arkansas, Donavon at Florida, and Cal at UK will bring the SEC back to being relevant. LSU should have a top 10 class this year. I won't crow about football because the SEC didn't fair to well this year. They had won 7 of the last 8 though.
 
Well they won the first one. Big surprise. :)

5 more to go.

Will they do it?

I've got 150 imaginary dollars that says they will. Any takers?
