It looks like you tried to say that this is going to be UK's super bowl, but you whiffed.
#FAIL
Tennessee vs Kentucky
- Thread starter della
- Start date

This will add another level of excitement to the game. I hope neither team forgets we both have another game before or match up. It would tarnish the luster. So, good luck against LSU.
I called this game.
utjr is not nor will they be among the big boys in college hoops.

Big George you’ve always been respected in my book
not all that surprised by the outcome of this game. tennessee is good, but was never convinced of their being "great", #1 in the nation status. kentucky is good as well, and in on upward trajectory. as usual cal has his guys hitting on all cylinders when they need to be.
It's too bad Tennessee is the mew king of the SEC, someone needs to tell our guys to be more respectful. Laughing
Good point!
Great game Della, the Vols are tough. Probably the best team we played so far.
Congrats on a great win Wall.
I really don't think the Vols deserve any accolades, the night belonged to UK start to finish. Congrats on the win.
what was going on in this game? were the question marks surrounding tennessee true (haven't played anybody in a while, won't be used to being the hunted, etc)? has kentucky come of age as a team, not ready to be dethroned in the sec? bit of both?
very intriguing lead up to this game and i admit (painful for me) that kentucky looked pretty damn good.
I think it was a little of both things you mentioned, sprinkled with some "mad as hell" about the ending of the LSU game.
I still think we're better than Tennessee (both are top six at worst), but this was really a perfect storm for a Tennessee loss. The rematch (and second rematch?) should be fun.
Oh you could tell how damn good of a team you guys have how you cut the lead down to 11 in the blink of an eye.........
We played our best game yet and you guys had too many cold shooting spells ... it happens .. I just hope you guys dont take out full revenge and drill every shot down in Knoxville lol.
I was really impressed by UK tonight. They were absolutely dominant from start to finish. Honestly the best part for UT was when they led 2-0 to start the game. Looking forward to the return matchup at UT on March 2. Congrats to UK for a dominant performance.
Apparently you were correct ThePerkisSystem. Ken'Tucky' apparently though it was a big game and beat the shit out of your team. It was about damned time Tennessee came into Rupp with a high enough rating to get the team excited. In fact that is the first time UT was ever number 1 when they played "Tucky".
Welcome it is good to see that you decided to support Tennessee basketball this week for the first time in the history of Rivals National Basketball board.
You may want to respect the team that whipped your number one team by 17 and not call them "Tucky".
I know you guys were trying to forget that first game of the season, but did you LITERALLY forget it?
I guess you don't have to worry about IU winning the regular BIG 10 season. Would you consider IU winning the Big 10 tourney more important now. I guess it doesn't matter cause that will not happen.
What kind of stupid ass trolling question is that? They are ranked ahead of duke. They had won 19 straight. They didn’t win any type of lottery to be ranked number 1.
You still don't understand that winning the conference tournament is more important to the majority of teams in college basketball than winning a regular season game.
If that was a business trip for UT the only words I have for you are...YOU’RE FIRED!!!!SmokinSmile
Seriously though, it is cute as shit when you guys act like you’re a blue blood!Laughing
Hey Boogs, take a breath. I know that 1-2 record against top 25 teams is impressive... I was just asking a question is all. Don’t be so touchy.
Q: How is Simple Man like a pretzel?
A: Pretzels don’t know how to use quotation marks either!
Oh, and salt. Lots and lots of salt.
If by majority you mean mid major teams....Then sure. Or the bottom feeder teams of P5 conferences----then sure. I never disagreed with that. But that isn't the case for UT/UK. Won't be again this year either. Not sure why that is so difficult for you to understand? I mean you went from calling the SECT final as more important to UK/UT, then the 2 regular season games----To, conference tournaments being more important for the majority of CBB teams. You just didn't move the goal post on this----You moved the entire stadium.
Replaying the UK/UT game for anyone interested! @della
Count yourself then as probably the only person not surprised. TN is really good. Tonight, UK was simple better. Played harder...took the fight to TN, and the Vols simply didn't respond. That sometimes happens. Vols missed a ton of open looks, that had they gone in(especially in the 1st half), it may have been a different game. What was impressive was the first five minutes of the 2nd half. That was as good as I have seen Kentucky. Just flat out whooped UT's ass those first 5 minutes of 2nd half, and tht was that.
Rematch in Knoxville will be an interesting one for sure.
I don't think tonight was an indicator of UT not being that good, as much as it was an indicator of how good UK can be.
