First, ABSOLUTE congratulations to St Peters! They deserved this win. I’m genuinely happy for them. In fact I’m glad they put a bullet in our season.
UK’s inconsistent play and regression has been absolute TORTURE with this group these last 5-6 games. I don’t feel a scintilla of pity for UKs guys, maybe Oscar but that would be about it.

Welcome Kentucky!
Nothing will be more embarassing than this UK loss this year. Embarrassing performance. Cal has made over 16 million dollars to go 9-16 and then lose to a 15 seed on day one of the tourny.
Its almost like cal doesnt do as well without 3/4 loterry picks lolol
Well, this competition has been locked up. Congratulations Kentucky.Let the barbs begin!
Helps when you actually play your lottery picks. I'll be really bitter in a few weeks when Sharpe goes pro.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Kentucky being trend setters being the first big name out.
Doubt Sharpe will be back next year, but it's possible. Probably could have used him tonight
From everything our media has said, I'd put it at a 5% chance Sharpe isn't in the NBA next season.
The ceiling for kentucky basketball isn’t a title anymore. not under calipari. He’s still a good coach but he’s like tubby smith now. Our rivals want him to stay because they’re not afraid of him anymore.
Like if i’m a duke, unc, kansas fan im now perfectly okay with John Calipari at kentucky.

It's funny because you were never even competitive in your game.....
As a Tennessee fan, I want Swaggy Cal to coach Kaintucky forever at this point!
I remember a day when I would go ape sh!t when UK’s season was over. Not sure if it’s just getting older or what, but my disappointment registers around a 2 anymore. Not a good sign when it ceases to hurt anymore. This is where UK is now.
Our church used to go on mission trips to the pitiful state of Kentucky.
Gonna pop in over at Rupp Rafters for the best entertainment of the day.
We did actually win a game.....
And we were competitive for a half....On the other hand, you guys ---AGAIN---lost to a much , much, lower seed.....
Oh no, I was FULLY prepared to be here, which is to say I'm not surprised. Didn't think it was likely, but always possible.
I've filled out various brackets with different groups and didn't have UK getting beyond the SS in any of them. They just haven't had it this year. It was one star and a bunch of fill ins.
For anyone who's not noticed, you not have been high on UK all year.
I always had hope, but they just never progressed after the TN game at Rupp.

We aren't living in the past. We are owning the present and Kentucky is clown champs. Let us have our moment.
Duke was 3 seed when they lost to Mercer. Its funny that they lost to a 15 seed in 2012, a 14 seed in 2014, then won it all in 2015. Blue blood teams can turn things around more quickly than you can imagine.
Can’t believe that was the same Kentucky team that came into Allen field house and worked over Kansas. Either that or I’m glad St. Peter’s was a 15 seed and not a 16 or we might have been umbc’d.
They had been on a downward trend for the past several weeks, at least. Couldn't get any consistency from anyone besides Tshiebwe. Matter of fact, without Oscar they wouldn't have been much better than they were last year.
Do you think coach cal is just mailing it in right now? He’s only 63 so it’s not like he’s old. Coach k and Roy both had a little lul right before they won and rode off into the sunset. Maybe that’s where cal is right now.
Nah, I don't think that's the case at all. He just isn't a great coach. His end of game management is the worst. If he has a lead he's gonna take the air out of the ball rather than continuing to do what put him in the position to win in the first place. Run the shot clock down to nothing and get a terrible shot or turnover. Repeat that 4-5 times in consecutive possessions while the other team continues to score at the other end and the next thing you know you're down or have lost the game. Classic Cal stall ball. He also never calls timeouts to set up a play like he could've done at the end of regulation tonight when the game was tied. I suspect it's because he has no damn clue what to run so he would rather just let his guys come up with something shitty on their own, that way he doesn't have to answer for a stupid play he drew up that didn't work. That plus they have proven they suck against pressure so maybe he didn't want to take a chance inbounding the ball again.
Just shows that it can happen to anybody. Kentucky may have had some mediocre years/NIT appearances/etc, but they never seem to lose to the nobodies as a high seed. K and Izzo, the so-called masters of March, have both lost to 15 seeds. Self of course has lost to midmajors. Bennett got UMBC’d. Not sure if Wright has had a loss like this, but he’s been bounced in the 2nd round as a 1 about 10 times seemingly.
Interesting that the beatdown would have such a profound effect on both teams.
