His success at Gonzaga is proof that he was under appreciated at UK.

Pitino Lite doesn't really develop kids. He just keeps them happy playing $hit basketball teams. To develop, some of them need to transfer...
I sense that you're mocking me.Originally posted by zipp:
Next up, Derek Willis.
Then he should stay.Originally posted by KeepingItReal74:
Derek Willis is a good kid from a great family. Has stated he's got no plans to transfer and is putting the blame on himself that he hasn't worked on his game long enough. True, he would get a lot of PT at a far less talented UL team but had indicated he would prefer to stay blue.
What a crock of sh!t. I'm sure Derek was thrilled while at the end of the bench to see Willie Cauley Stein shooting a 3 pointer with 5 minutes left while UKay was up 30 on pitiful Auburn. Nice of the Squid to let Willis in for the last 2 minutes in a game that they once led 30-4 in the first half.Originally posted by KeepingItReal74:

"Elite program", my a$$...
Look at you, you can create an arbitrary time frame. Interesting that you only include the past 3 completed seasons. You leave out 2010-2011 and the current season. Curious choice. If we use the past 4 full seasons and the current season, it looks more like this:Originally posted by davecmc:

I know it's fun to rag UK fans about bringing up titles from long ago. That said, I wondered whether UK was really one of the elite programs in modern times. Here's research going back 20 seasons.
The most dominant programs of the past 20 seasons:
UCONN: 4 titles and 5 Final Fours.
Kentucky: 3 titles and 6 Final Fours.
North Carolina: 2 titles and 6 Final Fours.
Duke: 2 titles and 4 Final Fours.
Florida: 2 titles and 4 Final Fours.
Michigan State: 1 title and 6 Final Fours.
Kansas: 1 title and 4 Final Fours.
As you can clearly see, Kentucky has been among the nation's elite programs during this time frame. There were some lean years during the latter part of Tubby Smith's tenure and the two seasons under Gillispie, but then again one can easily find a stat or two to discredit other top programs during this time frame. For instance, Duke has 1 Final Four in the past 10 seasons. UNC failed to make the NCAA Tournament in 2002, 2003 and 2010 and hasn't sniffed a Final Four in six seasons.
Most NCAA Tournament victories in the past 20 seasons:
Kentucky: 52
Kansas: 45
North Carolina: 43
Duke: 43
UCONN: 43
Michigan State: 42
Florida: 35
Most dominant program the last 3 years:
Total Wins
Louisville: 96
Kentucky: 88
NCAA Tourney Results
Louisville: FF, NC, S16
Kentucky: NC, nit, FF
I had wondered about this.
Dude, I am not a poser. I am a UK fan and that was stated. But this is the point that was trying to be made here with the numbers gimmick. So I typed it out. Though I was being sarcastic to the hilt, UL has done an impressive job getting the W's as in comparison to other top programs such as Duke, UNC, and Kansas over the same recent time frameOriginally posted by Uniblocker:
"The entire country and sports world see UL and UK on the same level. In fact, most people, whether east coast or west coast, see UL hoops as the gold standard for winning games and holding true integrity and sportsmanship on and off the court. Kids in every state know more about UL than any other program any where. All those wins came against the best. The only thing I can not understand is the losing record to UK over those years. I know, I know, UK owns the refs. L1C4 is the mantra that is universally understood."
