Pitino Spotted in a UC Shirt Today

[jacobkdoyle]

when i watch baseball i still see rbi and batting average. just cause they show you stats for the common man doesn't mean they are the right ones.

Votto doesn't drive in enough runs!!!!

Oh sorry...let's not go there.

I’m all onboard with Pitino, I’d rather laugh with sinners than cry with saints. He’s undoubtedly one of the best of all time.

id hardly describe our program as crying.

Smh. A good New Year's resolution for 2018 might be to live in 2018.

I'm not completely sure how to take this advice. Are you requesting that I hold the Kenpom ranking system as the true measuring stick, unlike everyone else in America? If so, I'll do my best to honor your request.
If you're insinuating that I'm stuck in the Huggins era because I disagree with your opinion.......well......that's just a silly statement.

If they hire him in any capacity I would find another team to follow.

yeah being associated with him in any way at this point would be an awful look for the university.

Yes. Please do get with the times. The fact that you think KenPom is obscure and unknown in the college basketball world just makes my point.

Right lol.

See.....this is the kind of crap that drives me crazy with some of the people on this site! At what point did I say Kenpom was obscure or unknown?! I'm quite certain many people are aware of his system. I simply insinuated that in the eyes of the majority, UC is not ranked in the top 10. If yourself and a few others on this board want to hold on to a top 10 ranking because Kenpom says so than hey......whatever floats your boat. But don't act like I'm crazy because I tend to agree with the masses.

This is awesome.

This is awesome.

It really is. You guys crack me up man!

By the way.....how the hell does Kenpom have UC ranked ahead of Xavier? I mean, I hate X as much as anyone, but come on.

cause xavier has played poorly recently, they keep sliding down.

They pulled out the game against DePaul today but were 4-22 from 3. They were 76% from FT line.

But come on man. They're 13-1, ranked 5th in USA today, ranked 6th in AP, and curbed stomped the shit out of us. I don't get the justification in that.

It would be horrible for our program to be associated with Pitino now. Of course we would love his basketball acumen but an association would symbolize desperation on our part and would be embarrassing. Heaven help us if we move in that direction.

His "acumen" is predicated on his recruiting. It's easier to be a brilliant coach with top tier players...maybe harder to manage the egos, but certainly makes the X's & O's a bit easier.

Get out of here with that trash. Go to a X board if you don't like it.

Why the hell would I go to an X board? I hate X!

Not everything revolves around what teams do against us.

And again with the voter polls...

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the Kenpom rankings and why some people on this site swing from his nutsack.
