Kentucky must feel honored that the coach of Iona is making them such a generous offer.
Doubt Cal will do this. Besides Champions Classic UK doesn't leave Rupp until conference play.
I think there's a decent chance. UK plays plenty of non-conference games outside of Rupp, they just don't play true road games. They typically play one weird team in NYC every year, either in Brooklyn or at MSG. Past three years have been Seton Hall, Monmouth and Hofstra before this year, when they ditched the NYC game for two games in Vegas.
Iona is no different than Hofstra or Monmouth
I expect this, I imagine they'll recognize the 1996 team with him at home and do a neutral court game.
I swear to god if Kentucky will play a home and home with Iona but not us, heads will roll
Not a true home and home. And let me just say, I want to play Indiana, but playing in NYC is a bit different than playing in Bloomington. I hate when we play teams like Monmouth up there, but it’s something Cal likes to do, for better or worse.
Not a true home and home.
I mean, technically not but considering Iona is right next to NYC, it's more a technicality than anything else. Besides, it's not like Iona's on campus gym is overly large.
There will be more Kentucky fans there than Iona, and it’s not on Iona’s campus is my point.
Yes
a wrestlemania bet? lmaooooo
Plz don’t waste another MSG trip on a shit team like Monmouth or Iona. No offense Iona fans
I went to Iona and I agree
We don’t deserve we also barely play at MSG on average once a year as a part of a double header with a more marquee teams playing the first game.
Also, Iona will get caught with sanctions not even from Pitino
Iona when I was there used to give the players free phones, free meal card money, paid for their tattoos and other stuff
u/cgio0 about to be the central figure in the upcoming investigation
If the NCAA will talk to me ill sing. Iona treated all the other teams like shit. Like my team only got free gear cause it was donated by an Alumni
Cause they said the bball team made money. We had two televised games a year and the we’d get blown out in the first round of the tourney.
One year we had a 25+ lead to BYU for the play in game and lost
Also the bball team didn’t bring in much money. One year they paid 50k to host the CBB tourney or something like that
I want a phone and lunch too!
There was some other stuff
They got the whole handicap floor to themselves in two of the 3 dorms.
The athletic trainers would watch their kids
They got multiple times for smoking pot in the dorms.
And other shit. Maybe im salty cause Iona is an awful school and I stupidly went there
They’ll probably beat Minnesota, given how they are looking. He will be a part of getting his son fired.
No. His son will get fired on his own.
His son will be a part of saving his dad's legacy.
I kinda wondered why Rick didn't just join his son as an assistant coach
Minnesota wouldn’t allow it.
Did they try before?
Its not illegal AFAIK. Usually its opposite (dad HC, son AC) like Houston, TTU under Knight, Tom and Keno Davis, etc.
