"Kentucky basketball scores at will against Morehouse 125-40
Mauling hints at good things to come"

This is the year Kentucky wins the SIAC!

So, all the black guys who aren't good at basketball go to Morehouse?


/terribly, terribly sorry.

It was 74-13 at halftime.

Final score could have even been worse.

Too bad for Calipari the point margin violates NCAA rules so this season is already over for Kentucky.

Every year in college basketball I root for ABC above all else.

Anybody But Calipari

FTA: "The Wildcats obliged. Their five starters combined to hit their first 26 shots as UK broke open a 30-point lead in just seven minutes, a 41-point lead after only 12 minutes and took a staggering 74-13 edge into halftime. At that point, UK was shooting 75 percent from the field, had 11 steals and had held the Maroon Tigers, an overmatched and overwhelmed Division II team, to 16.7 percent shooting.

The Rupp Arena crowd roared as the Wildcats scored 29 unanswered points in one stretch and led by as many as 89 in the second half. At the break, UK was shooting 75 percent from the field, had 11 steals and had held the Maroon Tigers, an overmatched and overwhelmed Division II team, to 16.7 percent shooting.
"

I know sometimes it's easy to type the same thing same thing in a sentence when you are typing in a hurry and get momentarily distracted. But this mistake really makes me wonder how the author was putting together this article. I mean, it's the exact same syntax and everything. Was he just copy and pasting sentences together?

I sometimes write things two or three different ways and delete the ones I don't like. This guy probably did the same thing, except the deleting obviously.

wasn't even the most points scored in a half by a Kentucky team. That came in 96 against LSU.

And Kansas is playing them next week with a "we'll get in the tourney as a 10-seed, but only because we're Kansas"-level squad (thanks in no small part to NCAA and Big XII dickings over the last several years). I'm a life-long Jayhawk. It will be ugly.

most people don't know that georgia beat morehouse 70-50 last week. morehouse isn't a completely untalented basketball team.

Anthony Davis is a freak of nature. And the seventh guy (Wiltjier) lead all scoring and went 4-6 from 3. A 6'10" guy went 4-6 from downtown. Un-freaking-believable.

Speaking of Kyle Wiltjer, here is a video of him and a couple other white guys on the team doing a video called White Boy Academy (new window)

At the very least skip to about the 4:08 mark.

I think what OP is saying is that the NCAA is always making a fuss over the dumbest shiat they can with Calipari. Like when UK celebrated his 500th (counting his Memphis victories) win, the NCAA made UK change all programs and write an apology letter. All for handing him a basketball that said 500 wins.

I question the wisdom of scheduling an opponent like Morehouse. They finished #4 or #5 in their Division II conference last season. If a pre-season game is to work the kinks out of your lineups and practice offensive and defensive sets, what good could possibly come from scheduling an opponent like that? Morehouse was so overmatched that UK didn't need to run any real sets.

That game was all risk and no benefit. Calipari is just lucky that none of his players got hurt.

No, there is a lot to be gained from this game. Calipari scheduled it because he was on the MLK day panel earlier this year, and Morehouse is kind of an important college in African American history, so there's that. And that game was nothing but UK's sets. The dribble drive is a pretty free form offensive scheme. Who should they schedule for exhibitions then?

It counts. If it counts it's not an exhibition.

What counts? That was a pre-season exhibition. UK's first regular season game is Friday.

Came here to say that. After a while you'd think Calipari would force them to slow down and run their sets.They would have gotten more out of an intra-squad scrimidage (well except for the gate).
 
2011-11-08 09:49:50 AM
I think the only reason they played this game was because Calipari gave a speech at Morehouse last year on MLK Jr. day and the Morehouse president asked him to invite their team to Rupp for a game, so he did.

scrimidage?

babysealclubber: Who should they schedule for exhibitions then?

Especially since they banned the non-collegiate teams several years back for exhibitions. Some of the "Athletes in Action" teams and others with former pros were pretty darn good.

Kansas is always overrated. I remember back in college when Mizzou beat them at home and at KU and they were still ranked higher than us.

And what is the point of UK playing Morehouse? Were the Lexington All Stars booked or something?

I never understood that rule.

TheGreatGazoo: And what is the point of UK playing Morehouse? Were the Lexington All Stars booked or something?

Well, as stated before, Morehouse asked to play us in Rupp when John Calipari was on that panel for MLK Day. Besides, the NCAA banned exhibitions against non-collegiate teams, for some reason.

The Washington Generals?

Exhibition games HAVE to be against other colleges. It's an NCAA rule. It's illegal to play pros and former pros in exhibition games. Been so for several years.

the intra-squad scrimmage was last week, and has about the same attendance, but the ticket prices are lower.

That being said, there are rules on who the NCAA will let you play as an exhibition, has to be another college, and i think it can't be in the same division. We used to play various traveling semi-pro teams, but NCAA said no to that.

So what was the point of Missouri playing Central Missouri in their last exhibition game? From what I can tell from CMU's website, they are a Division II team just like Morehouse.

I'll be satisfied with a 151-95 victory.
