His response to the interview question made it seem so. 'Focused on UCLA right now' etc. etc.

GG Kentucky, you guys definitely deserve it. Great perimeter defense and no turnovers in the second half. Your players turned it on when they needed to.
Ours didn't. Sloppy unforced errors. Fouling out. Not the way I wanted to go out on the tournament sadly.

Fox set the UK record for most points in an NCAA tournament game by a freshman. That's insane. (Although I guess not really considering our history of shooters vanishing in March)
Most by a freshman, 4th all time.

Booker inspired him earlier today.

Knowing UNC they are gonna pull the win out of their ass so let's hope that's not the case.

I didn't see anything either but he's been moving kind of funny in the last couple minutes. I doubt it has anything to do with the outcome tonight. He's got a bit of a limp though.
I hope so, if only for the IU fan response about how he isn't good enough.
IU whining is one of the best parts of college basketball.

What part of Kentucky?
Lexington?

Yeah, I live on campus right next to downtown.
I miss Lexington; the atmosphere around these games was great. :/

He definitely didn't seem himself the entire game. He doesn't seem like the type of person that would have been distracted from the comments out of Lavar, but I guess that's a possibility too.

That was fun.
40 hours until we play UNC. Like our revenge tonight, you know UNC is waiting to pay us back for the beginning of the year.

Ahh alright I use to live across from Cincinnati
Didn't seem like the same player he's been all year. Wouldn't shock me at all if he's nursing something.

I still feel like Lonzo needs another year before the pros. It could only do him good. But Lavar seems like the type of dude who's going to pressure his kids to make money as soon as possible.

UNC vs UK is pretty much the ultimate hope for a meteor steike game for me.

to be fair, thats how he played the first time against us also
That billion dollar shoe contract is waiting.

He said all of his kids are going to be one and done trying to get to NBA as fast as possible.

No one is going give up that guaranteed money and risk getting hurt. Especially if everyone is telling you you are going in the lottery.

My mom who knows nothing about college basketball and only occasionally watches Gonzaga games has a way better bracket than me. She got 5 out of 8 elite 8 teams right and still has 3 of her 4 final four teams alive.
This is unfortunately the case with DSJr. He would thrive under our new coach and we would have the potential to make a run next season, but he's gotta get that paper understandably.

Gonna miss that 1-2 punch of lonzo and leaf. Hopefully the recruits replacing them are legit. Also I hope liangelo doesn't get off the bench. Lol

Why?
An NBA team can develop him far better than another year playing college basketball can. If he's a lottery talent, he should be going now

That boy ballin
Lonzo ain't going to get any more athletic. Or fix his goofy shot mechanics.
His weaknesses aren't fixable by another year in college.

Xavier vs Gonzaga
South Carolina vs ?
Kansas vs Oregon
UNC vs Kentucky
Who are y'all taking?
I'm taking Xavier, Kentucky, Kansas, ?..

He said a billion for all three sons. Still an outlandish number for two kids who haven't played a minute of college ball yet but there's no need to make it seem *even* crazier.
He also said Bruins would win the big show. I know what he wants but ultimately it's Lonzo's decision.
I can understand it when a player has a history of injuries. Baron Davis, for example, made sense. Tonight aside, Lonzo's been pretty healthy and doesn't play an extremely physical game. So another year to gain some experience and learn to lead the team to a comeback (instead of just leading from the front) would do some good. He needs that ability to shine in the NBA.
You're probably not wrong, most of the top kids could use more seasoning, but he'll be a top 3 pick, gotta get that money. Fuck the NCAA tbh.

Fuck that, give me that guaranteed money in the NBA
I bet if he got hurt next year at UCLA his draft stock would go down. NCAA don't care
I'd rather play with pros than college kids

Bruins already scrimmage with pros all the time. He needs the ability to rally (or carry) a team. Without that, the pros are going to be a rough ride and his time a short one.

Ball
5-12 14 pts 7 ast 6 to
4-10 10 pts 8 ast 4 to
Fox
8-20 20 pts 9 ast 2 to
13-20 39 pts 4 ast 1 to
UCLA is good, and Ball is a great player, but Fox and crew took him out of his game both times
good job on UK defense
also, love Cal, ofcourse he makes the post game about SC and UF, media wizard.

I hope he's involved with Lonzo's negotiations and gets his other 2 sons banned from the NCAA for getting paid.

A lot of UCLA folks seem to think the coach is gone though right?
