Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Town Hall meeting scheduled in Hickory this evening

"I got something to say. I don't know if it'll make a difference, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball. But, there's just one thing: I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go."

A bizarre situation unfolding in Bloomington where Kelvin Sampson's fate is expected to be announced at a 6 p.m. press conference.

According to a blog post on The Hoosier Scoop, Dan Dakich is coaching IU's practice today, but perhaps more importantly, six key players are not there.

As far as we can tell, D.J. White, Jamarcus Ellis, Armon Bassett, Jordan Crawford, DeAndre Thomas and Brandon McGee are not at practice. That leaves IU with seven players practicing and six not there.

We don't know exactly what that means, but it seems ominous after the reports today that players have been talking about a walk-out for Saturday's game at Northwestern. There has been no official word on who will be available for that game.

The players who are practicing are playing against team managers. Dakich told the players that it is important that the players finish what Kelvin Sampson started this season.

Assistant coach Jeff Meyer is participating in the practice. Assistant coach Ray McCallum is not there.

Of course this whole messy situation begs one important question: What would the score be if Eric Gordon played Northwestern by himself tomorrow?

"I would hope you support who we are, not who we are not.

These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights in the next 4 months to represent you, this High School (university).

That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect.

This is your team."

Gene Hackman != Kelvin Sampson
I think the parallel is better with Dennis Hopper.  

I think we'll see Kelvin Sampson stumble onto the court Saturday with his clothes disheveled and screaming into a cell phone, "You better take my call.  You better commit right now."

And then he'll call up the picket fence play for Gordon.
