    Kansas State vs Kentucky game thread

    Congrats to K State, they’ve had a fun team all year and I hope they can keep winning games. On our end, another wasted season. Cal has accomplished absolutely nothing since 2019. If he can’t change I hope he just leaves so I can still remember the good times he gave us over the bad.

    Congrats UK Fans!!!

    It’s definitely more fun to act all swaggy when doing that doesn’t make you feel like an idiot lol.

    Congrats UK Fans!!!

    Thanks della. Was a really important win for us. It can either be a fluke or it can be a turning point in our season - hoping it’s a turning point.

    Genuine question for UK fans on expectations

    Acknowledging up front that we (everyone, not just UK fans) lost the 2020 NCAAT and I think that team had a good chance to change a lot of what I’m about to say. Of those 7 E8, none have come in the last 4 seasons. Of those 4 F4, none have come in the last 7 seasons. That national title...

    Big Games Tonight! Wednesday 1-4

    Checking in from Waco. I’m in the stands for TCU at Baylor, I’m the guy wearing a UK hat and sweater!

    Why does Kentucky Suck?

    Thanks, I do try. There’s a lot of earned and justified criticism to go around here but it can be hard sometimes when even other UK fans say stuff like “Cal was never a good coach”. Like that just doesn’t hold up to any amount of serious scrutiny. I *never* thought we were going to lose any...

    Why does Kentucky Suck?

    I think the game has simply evolved, and Cal hasn’t. Some people like to say Cal could never coach in the first place but that seems like revisionist history to me. It’s not like he was loading up his UMass teams with loads of star freshmen.

    Anyone here play a musical instrument?

    Never too late to play for fun. There’s even a group in Lexington (they still seem to exist according to Facebook) called New Horizons, the entire premise is to get adult beginners (also “lapsed” musicians so to speak) a chance to play music together. I had to co-direct the group for a semester...

    How's Everyone's Summer Going?

    Started my new job with the Army. It’s change of command season so the band is crazy busy, we have either a ceremony or a rehearsal every day, often both. Fun group of people. We did a Memorial Day ceremony in Dallas, I got stranded en route for eight hours waiting for a tow truck (day before...

    Stupid Things Opposing Coaches Did After Your Team Beat Them

    Not stupid, but the time Bill Self drank some water and said “I was hoping that was vodka” after our game in 2014-2015 was one of the funnier things I’ve heard a coach say.

    Anyone here play a musical instrument?

    Flute, clarinet, oboe, sax, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion, piano, violin, viola. Varying degrees of skill, from bad middle school player (like flute or piano) to solid high school player (trombone and some others) to “literally a professional musician” on tuba, my...

    Most Passionate Fanbase in Each State.

    I don’t think he’s clueless, he knows exactly what he’s doing with this one. The ones that are clearly wrong are such obvious trolling, as you pointed out. I don’t feel like checking out this Twitter account but I suspect this worked perfectly for the guy who made it.

    Ohio vs Virginia

    Virginia loses in the first round = guaranteed National Championship the following year. Congrats on your 2022 title, Hoos!

    Rick Barnes....

    You could consider reading the OP, that would answer most of your questions. As for why we're here... it's a college basketball discussion forum? This thread was going fine until you showed up. I don't care about any individual H2H. Since you seem to care so much, let's see who has been better...

    Rick Barnes....

    This thread is about postseason success. Rick Barnes has more losses in the 1st Round of the CBI than trips to the Elite Eight or farther in the last decade+. Not that hard to see why UK fans wouldn't be jealous despite being "owned" by Tennessee with an insurmountable 6-8 record since you...

    Is winning a conference tournament that big of a deal?

    1. I don't know, ask Oregon State. 2. I don't know, ask Belmont.

    1, 2, and 3 seeds that won’t make the Sweet 16?

    I should also head off any future "gotcha" attempts by saying I was answering a slightly different question than OP asked. These are the top 1/2/3 seeds I think are upset prone, I'm not actually guessing all will lose.

    1, 2, and 3 seeds that won’t make the Sweet 16?

    I'm really excited about that game, it's one of the most intriguing 1/8 match-up in a while. I like Illinois (they're either my 2nd or 1st favorite to win it all), but both teams are peaking at the right time. Really, that 8/9 with Loyola and Georgia Tech is crazy. I can't think of a more...
