I meant I was guessing we could do 1000 posts on their nit run. But since you are feeling sensitive... Irony -- Billy saying he was married once and the honeymoon didn't last long.

Battle of the Wildcats on Tuesday night! Kentucky-Davidson is the word on one of the matchups ESPN prefers for the NIT. Every game could be Gillispie's last from here on out, according to what I'm hearing.

Do those saying that, suggest that a replacement is already (perhaps secretly) lined up, or that they'd let him go and then hope for the best?

I am not swearing by this, but I believe the nit rules say those automatic qualifiers (teams that won the regular season conference but not the tourney) are guaranteed a home game. So that would eliminate a Davidson@UK 1st round game. I am not 100% sure on that though.

If what you are hearing is correct, Bilas and Vitale will have a field day bashing UK again.

Sure he is... the NIT! :) Seriously, though, I am at the point that I do not care. I thought he wasn't the best hire they could have made and he has not done alot to change my mind, but I respect the profession enough to think any coach needs more than 2 years to succeed or fail on his own merits. I just want the entire situation resolved asap.

Yeah too bad they didn't get Billy Donovan. He'd never go to the NIT once much less in back to back seasons. Wait a second.

Who said anything about Donovan? It was pretty clear he didn't want to go to UK anyway. Besides, most of us would take back to back nit bids if they were attached to back to back rings. Especially if the program was the cesspool UF was when he got there.
