This Kansas deficit is fun to see.

What's wrong with Cronin?

Cincy totally dominated tonight, at 20-13 they might possibly be a bid stealer now. The new teams in the Big 12 are doing very well this year its pretty cool to see honestly.

KU is an interesting team now going into next week, they are supposed to get Dickinson and Mccullars back but they might be a team that people will pick to be upset. There last 2 games have not been pretty at all.

Quote:

In Nolan Smith, Payne signed the son of close friend and fellow U of L alum, Derek Smith, a program hero who played for the 1980 national championship team and died in 1996. Nolan Smith came from Duke, where he was an All-American point guard and starter for the 2010 NCAA Championship team before working on Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski’s staff, where he spent six years before joining Payne at Louisville. But Smith was sensitive to criticism, had some contentious social media interactions with fans, and before the 2023-24 season interviewed with a G-League team, the Capital City GoGo. When athletics leadership concluded that Smith had been the source of a leak that resulted in national media reports saying Payne would be fired in December and Smith elevated to the head coaching job, Payne was advised to take the matter up with Smith.

Probably the most damning part of that article. Talk about stabbing your head coach in the back. It would be interesting to see if Nolan Smith gets another assistant coaching job.

Well first and foremost, his buyout is insanely high and nobody knows exactly what it is at this point.

The second is that I think he's more so the caliber of coach that he was at Cincinnati versus what he's done recently at UCLA.
