But take confort, KY IS NOT playing MONDAY NIGHT, my UCONN MEN ARE! ;)
Bread and circus...
Who knows what could happen, if the NBA has its lockout, like the NFL, it could cause Kemba to stay, who knows!
This story might change your mind about UConn’s star player.

But at least very fun!
Kemba is a class act , no doubt about it . UConn has had its share of scandals , and is infamously known ( I’m a grad so oughta know ! ) as a drinking school with a basketball problem , but despite everything nobody should knock this team that finished 9-9 in the Big East , but won the Maui Invitational early on , won the Big East tournament , and now has a very , very good chance to win the National Championship !
Butler vs. UConn will be a game to watch. I like the Butler coach, more than I like the UConn coach.
I don’t know too much about Kemba, and I hope he’s a great kid. I just like the fact Butler is a homegrown team for the most part and runs a clean program. I don’t think U Conn is clean. They say Calhoun didn’t know what was going on. Well, he’s the coach and has to take responsibility. Plus the announcers alluded to some recent problems with some of the players. Can you fill me in on that?
Happy birthday!
The Butler coach looks like a coach from the 1950s. He’s got class and honesty. Jim Calhoun, although soft spoken, appears to be quite a bit different.
Just won money by betting on Butler. sweet! Wouldn;t want to wager on UConn and K though. Too many variables.
Brad Stevens has to pull off a Norman Dale (Hoosiers) to win national championship. They filmed the movie at Butler’s home court in movie.
Pretty good call. Would have been even closer to acurate had the Butler-VCU game ended a minute earlier.
Thank you !
What seems odd to me is the fact Brad Stevens doesn’t get a lot more press. If VCU had won, I’d be willing to bet we’d be inundated with Shaka Smart stories. It’s as if the media isn’t interested in any white male who stands for good old American values.
We had those stories last year when Butler made it to the Championship Game against Duke.
It is just simply wonderful to have a break from the elite-type of teams, a Kansas or a North Carolina, or even a Duke to have teams who have been considered “underdogs” in the final four this year for a change, which is refreshing.
Never knew that IN is the home ob Butler.
Congrats to TX A And M fans, your women’s basketball team is in the championship!
Sadly, my UConn women went down tonight, not a great way to end my birthday Sunday. :(=^..^=
THANK-YOU UConn women for the wonderful memories, and in a special way, to Maya Moore and Lorrine Dixion. Not a good way to end your time at UConn. Best wishes to Maya Moore and Lorraine Dixion on their future career paths.:)=^..^=
