Elite eight game thread for Sunday!

Last year----Yeah, probably. BUT----Auburn was playing really good basketball. They are a good team. Also, beating someone three times is tough, man.

I don't care how "good" they are. We already beat them twice (once by thirty), have a shit ton of draft picks and they just lost one of their stars to an ACL. This is a terrible loss. Pair this with blowing a Final Four run to hobbled Kansas State in the chaos region last year, it's inexcusable to not get a Final Four in the last two years.

Won't be any better next year. They won't have a front court worth a shit.

Meh....I guess, man. Its tough getting there. Shit UVA damn near lost to Carsen Edwards....., err....I mean Purdue. My point? You just never know , man. Dudes get crazy hot....Or tighten up. Like today----Herro looked and played tight as hell. Everything seemed short. Got beat o defense more than I have seen all year.

Do I think UK should have beaten KSU last year? Yes. Beat Auburn? I mean, probably. But they are good man.

I’ve always thought you were a reasonable Kentucky fan, I just never wanted to admit it.that was a terrible loss for Kentucky, maybe the worst in the past 20~ years or so

I'm not a Cal hater like some people seem to be, but his system is useless if we aren't getting Final Four appearances out if it. I'm tired of waiting months to get watchable basketball because "it's a process" and then not even having any payoff at the end of the season.

One Final Four since 2015 would have been enough. But of course, we've choked three away and had to watch extended stretches of bad basketball three of those four seasons.

Yup. PJ was the only person to play well for the second year in a row. Unacceptable. Gonna have to start fresh next year too which is not good news.

You're are a quality Cat fan. When I think of UK fans I think of the Stephen King book, "The Stand", except replace the super flu with delusion. You appear to be the one in a million that is not affected.:)

I don’t think so. We’ll get nick, ej, Quickley and Baker back. Basically our bench. Better than nothing though like in 2013 and 2016. I think Quickley will be a better college point guard than Hagans. I’m not sure why he didn’t get more run. I think maybe Hagans was always leaving regardless so Cal tried to give him as much run as possible? Idk.

I’m just glad I don’t feel like we got screwed by officiating. That’s always the worst.
 
I swear, his teammates must not like him because AOC can be standing all by himself and they will not pass it to him. They'll pass it to the guy who missed 30 in a row, though .
 
Duke should have fed on auburn or Kentucky. Michigan state got screwed out of a final four banner by the committee
 
ACC - SEC - B12 about to be in the Final 4, B1G not so much...if only the NCAA didn't have it out for MSU!
 
This little run by Duke is as good as they have looked in what seems like a month. Glad they brought it back and calmed it down a little.

Purdue was also underseeded and was a free throw away from beating #1 seed virginia.

Great showing by the big ten regardless of the unfair treatment tbh

Auburn had a chip on their shoulder and played like it was not a formality like UK. UK is not used to being tested like this.
