Duke and Kentucky

No, we cant.
We're 8-13. We have Florida and Ole Miss left. If we win those we'll be 10-13. We aren't going to finish 10-14th place, which means we will get either 4 or 3 SECT games. That means we can at best finish 14-13, or 13-13. Both of those scenarios result in us getting the autobif via winning. The NIT doesn't even invite teams with a sub .500 record. The NCAAT absolutely does not.
So you think we get in at 12-13?
Thanks for remembering me. I don’t give two shits about you.
Apparently there's a lot of shits giving lately.
Carry on telling each other they're meaningless and not worth the time.

....the NIT is making an exception this year.... an over .500 record is not required.
Last time in the NIT we drew the overall #1 seed and played an away game at Robert Morris. We did that due to renovations to Rupp, now, we're still doing renovations to Rupp, hopefully we won't have to that again.
I can't remember as well, but didnt' we also play a NIT game in Memorial due to HS Tournament during the Gillispie years?
Apparently Rupp Arena doesn't allow NIT games.
We did.... vs UNLV. Perry Stevenson had the dunk of his life.
Always hated this song because he said speedball instead of fastball.
Pretty sure you're correct on all accounts. I definitely. remember we played NIT at Memorial due to renovations. Notre Dame or UNLV or Creighton I think? We all remember playing st Bob Morris though I don't remember why. That game was a ****ing embarrassment and disgrace.
So why lie about a fake wife if you don't care about what other people think? Also, your statement contradicts what you previously said.
I don't even have to link it, ppl who get this has it etched in their brain.
I wish Calipari had NCCA cred like Coach K.
He basically has the opposite and had to earn everything.
Speaking of earning everything, don't get me started on Roy.

I said before its a long shot. But that would put us at 11-7 in the SEC plus we'ld be trending upward fast. If we can leap frog Mizzou and Ole Miss, then I like our chances. With no fans, and tv, we're a huge draw. That will carry some weight. Plus we still have the SECT. Win 3-4 remaining and 3 SECT wins and we're probably in.
I’m not so sure the no fans thing will help UK as much as if there were fans. If there were fans, bbn is gonna pack the place regardless of location or seed.
I just don’t know how no fans will affect decision making. Will sponsors have to pay extra for commercial time if UK makes it vs if they don’t make it or during uk games vs every other game.
With fans it’s something that’s fairly easily to quantify, even monetarily, where as I’m not so sure how it works without fans.
I mean the NCAA makes the same amount of $$$ regardless of the ratings numbers right? Idk anyone here can point to something I’ve been wrong about before and I’m not even pretending to know how this works with the tv money and ratings and what not.

I think that’s correct, though maybe we’re both wrong. The NCAA has a long-dated contract with CBS. My understanding is that it would be CBS that would be hurt by low ratings, not the NCAA. Several years of low ratings may result in the next contract being worse, but I don’t think the NCAA has any near term pain from lower ratings.
What I don’t know is if there are extra incentives for the NCAA built into the contract related to ratings. If so, then it might matter to them. Not sure if any details have ever been released or would ever be available. But I don’t generally buy the ratings argument for tournament inclusion.
But hey, I’m not a lawyer and I don’t work in broadcasting, so I could be way off.
Lol, no man. That's not how this works. We have to win the SECT to get in, period.
I don't think any team is shivering in their boots about playing UK in the tournament.
Other fans should want them in.

2011 UConn can F off and so can 2014.
Don’t know how y’all dealt with those bastards for as long as you did. UConn has basically ruined Cal lol
Notice the official.... John Higgins. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I have this gif saved on my phone. Higgins cost us in 2017 (uNC) and this FF game. Guy is a piece for sure.
Borden actually told me there is a foul in that clip. I can't find it.
We actually played decent against them when they didn’t have thabeet or Kemba. Those years they waxed us iirc.
Hell we beat em 3 times that Napier year by like 30ppg including by 30+ in the aactourney championship game, UConn’s last game before the NCAA T started.
We just couldn’t dodge UK (and the zebras), but not like UK hadn’t already established they have our number under cal. That game made in like 1-6 and 0-2 in the tourney.
Refs were abysmal though, much worse than the unc/uk game uk fans love to point at as the worst reffed tourney game recently. But we still beat ourself, and Harrison made a clutch ass 3 against us(and everyone that tourney) so it is what it is at this point.
Worst part was being ranked like number 6 in the nation, win your conf championship regular season and tourney, coming off a natty and we get a damn 4 seed like wtf.

It does kind of look like jones grabbed at his hand/wrist but still it was such an obvious flop it should have never been rewarded a foul. Just a travel. We almost need another half second previous. Shabazz arm without the ball was looking crazy as soon as the clip starts.
