I don’t care about the spread but LOL at all the prognosticators saying Aldridge would give Kentucky fits. This isn’t a vintage UK team, and they might get destroyed by Ayton, but to paraphrase the best* college coach of all-time, “Steph Curry isn’t walking through that door!” an


*Okay, maybe not the best ever coach but certainly the GOAT combo of coaching acumen and entertaining scandals.

I'm running a small pool and at least 2 of them had Arizona winning the whole thing.

I did a modified point thing where the F4 and Champ weren't overvalued. Glad I did that.

I'm not sure he would have gone to the NBA if he could have. Can't say for certain, of course, but he wasn't one of the incoming freshmen people were talking about. I don't think there was anything in his high school career that indicated he'd be nearly the player he's been.

Yeah, the "holler" is a reference to Appalachia and how folks in that part of the country refer their own little slice of turf (as opposed to talking about cities or towns, of which there often aren't any for a hundred miles or so.) Derived from hollow - basically the valley (or hollowed out space) between two mountain ridges.
