Conf. 16-0

Might not hurt us to lose one, but that ain't the way we roll. Douchebags

I met your Coach last summer. His sister lives in Lexington. Real nice guy. Actually did me a huge favor.
Regardless,
I hope we play this season, bring it on.

Should be a good one. I do think that Kentucky and UNC are the teams to beat, but the CUSE should be right in the mix. We'll see.

An even BIGGER margin of victory for ND!

Actually, I'll just be happy if they make the final...they never have...3 years straight in the semis now.

Not really looking forward to going to the ACC because I love the BE so much.

Cinncy came out on fire. They cooled towards the end of the half. Hopefully they don't warm up again or it's going to be bye-bye Cuse.

Both physical and athletic. Some teams in the SEC conference are trying to emulate the Big East style of play.

Nope, not physically possible.



That said, you're right, everyone's talking about Payless when there's a lot of great games going on.

If Duke wins tonight, 3 of the 4 teams playing tomorrow live within a few miles of each other! Happy to see State winning - they may get into the dance

The Wildcats beat them earlier this season on the Cats home court when Davis blocked a shot at the end of the game. Both teams have improved since then. Besides the Wildcats, Kentucky also has Western Kentucky, Louisville, and Murray State in the Big Dance. Murray State and Kentucky are the only two teams left with just one loss, after 'Cuse bit the dust last night.

17. 2 Free throws

attempted and made by Florida the entire game.

ESPN STFC had a prop, which will be higher? Kentucky winning margin or tie or Florida free throws made. I thought Florida free throws made would make an easy pick, they'll get around 10 right? They average 13 made a game. Kentucky wins by 3, Florida 2 free throws. Unreal.

20. Time is running out for Coach Cal
Sun Mar 11, 2012, 07:00 AM

Kentucky's the only school in the country where not winning a National Title in the first few years is grounds for dismissal.

At a 'normal' school, anyone with Cal's record after three years would be given a lifetime contract.

Instead, they'll be calling for his head if they lose again this year.

Just making an observation, not a judgment.

Vandy played tough. Good win for them.
We'll give him a couple of more years. I much don't give a fuck if we ever win another. I just like the smell of burning couches around campus.

While Goose had a 12 footer he could make all day he is not the word on Kentucky Basketball. I think he is still living in Florida. I, on the other hand, work 3 blocks from Wildcat Lodge.

Last word in paragraph.

Kevin Grevey: "If this was Duke getting four or five one-and-dones every year, or North Carolina or Indiana or UCLA, I don't think anybody would say much about it," says former Kentucky star Kevin Grevey. "But for some reason, it's (an issue with) Kentucky and John Calipari. What is he, the Darth Vader of college basketball? I've never seen so much jealousy."
