Keith, I only posted this because a UL poster posted a coaches list from the same site. My point is we can usually find a site to say what we like to hear.  It is a shame that you are one of those posters that always have to add ugly remarks about a person and their team. Bad reflection on you and your team and the real UL fans do not agree with those tactics.

Blu Su relegated to discussions of subjective Home Court ratings because their pathetic cats suck the ocean while UL is ranked #1; so let's try and concoct ANYTHING negative about UL, WE CAN (weak as it is); to take the attention off our suck ass coach; and our suck ass team of overrated one and dones.

Message to Su.....no one gives a rats ass about you or your fabricated home court rankings. Just stay in Lex. and enjoy that shithole of a barn you call Rump.....or is it Rupp?....no; I think Rump is the far better name for it.

RedRager, I think that the BBN would agree with you on NCAA Championships; we know that UL fans on this forum will give us a hard time if we should be NIT bound. Personally, I expect UK to make the tourney but not go too far; of course, I hope that I am wrong.  You sound like a good UL fan and I am on record as saying that UL should win the NC this year.  Good luck.

RedRager said:

In all fairness, if I could be guaranteed an NCAA championship, knowing that I had to have an NIT season the next year, I'd take the deal every time it was offered.

That said, of course I maintain the right to make fun of UK if it's NIT bound!

BC, there may be better things to do, but bet that you are like me and do not miss a UK game. We are good fans that are there in good and bad times.  We have certainly been through worse years than this and I do see positives in each game, even the ones that we lose. Enjoy your posts and the fact that you do give out good, concise info.

Well......not anything, but a whole lot of things are better than watching UK this year.

Have your fun.....UofL is really good this year, I get it.

Tony, don't think the arenas were picked due to wins but due to being an overall good arena for basketball. You did list some good arenas and I have no quarrel with them being good.

tonymontana said:

BluSu......I would have to add Pauley Pavilion (UCLA), The Dean Smith Center (UNC), Madison Square Garden/Carnesecca Arena (St. John's), and Liacouras Center (Temple). All those programs are in the all-time top 10 in wins.

I realize you asked Tony,

But I have my hand up and can answer that. So Su, going with your theory it that the Arenas were chosen because of team win records, Tony is correct with his additions, and MY FIGHTING CARDINALS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE along with the state of the art arena YUM Center should have at least earned an honorable mention.

I would like to also note that although certain teams don't have fancy digs, I am proud to see smaller Kentucky Universities on this list such as WKU coming in at #8 (one slot ahead of my Fighting CARDS) and Murray State at #17.

GY.....Of course that list is "winning percentages" and not all-time wins. Temple is top 10 in wins. UNLV, whom just started playing basketball when 2nd grader Jerry "Tark the Shark" Tarkanian was coaching them, is way down the list in all-time wins.  ;-)  WKU comes in two spots below UofL at #18. Here's the top 25 in all-time wins:

A two point loss at home is considered "easy pickins". Try something else, Little Brother...

Tony,

I read both the all time and percentage lists before I posted. I am aware of which list I chose to post for discussion. I chose percentages over the raw data presented in the all time list. I like stats what can I say.

GY, I gave no theory for the arenas being chosen as the best, however, nowhere on the page that I saw,  did I see it written that they were chosen by team wins.  I believe that they are considered the best arenas built in which to play basketball. Just do not want words put in my mouth/posts that I did not say or infer. You probably, as I do a lot, just scanned the post and thought the arenas were chosen for most wins.
