Good first half for UK. Let's see if they can keep up the intensity in the second half!
Running UK Game Thread: 3/8 Mizzou
- Thread starter Brushy Bill
- Start date
Missed the first half entirely. Watched the second half sitting at a Rafferty's bar eating bacon cheese fries and drinking beer. Liked that the seniors went out with a bang, now lets curb stomp Mizzou and see what happens next week at the SEC tourney.
To put things in perspective, there are 8 teams from the ACC below LSU in the NET rankings. 8.
I have a strange feeling we beat Missouri this Saturday. Just falls right into the pattern with this team. Plus I think the closure with Jax helps settle them in. Everyone knows their roles now. Just have to execute.
IDK, we can't seem to win 2 games in a row.
If Pope stops with the hockey line changes where we get Perry, Noah, Almanor, Garrison and Chandler on the floor for extended minutes, we certainly have a shot.
Another undercover conference fan boy, don't know how that affects UK but yeah it's a weird obsession.

That shows you how the net rankings are SHIT, we drop after beating Pittsburgh and yall move up for beating a team that checked out weeks ago.
Btw, I read your rafter folks making you look foolish over there lol
The only people that are really bothered by SEC facts are the ones that belong to quite possibly the worst power conference of all time.
I’m a Louisville fan, you guys are SEC fans just like you’ve always been in football. I will admit, you have a few good teams to root for in the tournament, Kentucky isn’t one of them though.Go SEC!
You’re not a Louisville fan you’re an anti Kentucky fan.
Conference strength plays a huge role and provides context to how your season shapes out. So when we have trolls popping up in every thread talking that smack (wonder who that could be) it’s a really nice piece of information to bring out. LSU sucks and they’re still better than half the crappy teams you guys chirp about beating every week. It’s just cute.
We aren’t the best in the SEC but we continue to be better than Louisville. Like we always have been.
Nope. Everyone knows the SEC is the top conference and the ACC is trash, not breaking news.
I would think UK fans were above that since you basically carried the conference for damn near 60+ years.
I can't remember fans of ACC teams talking about how great the conference was back in the day, there may have been some, I just hadn't seen it.
If you crash and burn this year as a conference, get ready to hear it and I'm not going to lie, I'll be one of many talking shit but if you don't I'll give the conference props for handling their business.
My season was lost in Feb so I'm on the sideline waiting on some of you to join me.
As if you would know, BLOCKHEAD. You're too accustomed to playing sub .500 teams. Another one tonight.
Anyone decent that U6 has played has simply handed them an L, much more often than not.
If that day comes I’ll be here like I have been for almost 20 years. See post above. When people want to crap on UK it provides context. You’re not usually one of them but you know who I’m talking about.
UK has won 8 titles despite the SEC being dog crap 95 percent of its existence in basketball. It is what it is and it’s going to be talked about until a champion is crowned.
Makes your two to us all the more delicious.
10 losses is a ponderous chain to bear.
You’re making me blush. Also, at this point I would be surprised if you guys don’t make the tournament. There seems to be a lot of positive momentum in CH, no idea what has sparked the turnaround.
Cool
Maybe you'll actually make it work for you this year and get to a Final Four finally.
**snicker**
FF is not a title, so we will set our goal for a Championship.
We haven't played anyone but there is some life.
It's going to be a great tournament, anyone in the top 15 can win it.
UCLA is the best of all time to be fair. They have the most championships, and it doesn't matter when they were. They happened.
Huh? Dude, I haven't posted about the ACC suckage in forever.
Not sure if you have me confused with another poster or what...
A. I have no idea what you are talking about regarding Rupp Rafters and reading my posts...
B. Why are you spending your time on Rupp Rafters (we all know the answer to that)?
C. Why are you stalking what people are posting on a UK board? You are a strange dude who is obsessed with all things UK. Odd.
A) it’s a post in the past few days where your peers were laughing at you
B) I don’t get all of my information on one site, I’m not a Howey Lindsey type homer
C) I wasn’t stalking, I just noticed some poor fella being laughed at and it turned out to be you
I am the first to admit that I am Louisville first and whoever is playing Kentucky second. I’m not a conference honk like some of you guys are.
Dude, everyone on this board knows you care more about UK then UL, and your posting history 100% bears that out.
Again, I have no idea what post you are talking about on Rupp Rafters. Since you are over there all the time, maybe you can actually cite what you are talking about...
Dude, you're a massive conference honker. You have bragged about every conference UL has ever been in, even tried to say the Metro athletic conference was > the SEC.
Just the other day, you were standing behind Duke and using them as your white knight.
Why shouldn't fans of teams in the SEC talk about how tough the conference is? It doesn't mean I'm an Auburn fan, it means I'm proud of my team for doing pretty damn well in the strongest conference we have ever seen and that is a fact.
Why would we not brag about it? When you are still in play for a 3 seed after playing in this gauntlet, it is something to brag about.
But you and 86 are the last mother f&ckers that should be blasting anyone on conference honking.
The SEC has multiple programs wirh final 4's and titles. It wasn't just UK in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Arkansas, Mississippi State and Florida had.plenty of success.
It wasn't at the level of the ACC, but it wasn't like the SEC was mid major level.
Also, you can't say ACC team fans didn't brag about conference strength when they were the top conference, ACC fans mocked us on a consistent basis when the SEC was down, maybe not you personally, but many others did.
Shit, look at the 2 Louisville fans, they shit talk even as they're standing at the bottom of the pit.
I kinda get that, we sucked the last few years but I didn’t hitch my wagon to the other ACC teams.
I'm not saying the SEC is going to flood the FF, but it’s going to take a hell of an effort to keep Florida and Auburn out of it.
I think Texas Tech, Duke and Houston are also going to be very hard to keep out of the FF. Those are all complete teams.
