When I made that statement I did not refer to KY or Tn. I said it is more important to win the Conference tournament than two games in the regular season. I still believe that. How about Georgia and Missouri? You were the one that made it a big deal about UT and Kentucky. Della and I were involved in a little banter and my discussion was about which one is most important. It was not for Ky and Tn last year but to most teams it is very important and just not to mid majors but to bottom feeders in all conferences.
Tennessee vs Kentucky
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Ok.....That's what you meant. Its your story brother, tell it like you want. But just remember, you were supporting the comment of, "But UK won the game that counted the most...." Which, ya know, insinuates the exact opposite of what you are now claiming...Thats cool.
You keep changing the criteria...Its all good though. Gives me a chacne to post this:
I think both are important but it honestly seems like SEC schools get better rewarded for winning the regular season title over the conference tourney.
You got me,but you were still trolling hard lol.No Kentucky fan has forgotten the first game of the season.

Agree. TBH, not sure why the SEC doesn't bumped thier tourney up, so to get done before the brackets come about. Was the same for the Big 10. Moved the game to a Saturday. But honestly, after 18/20 regular season conference games, not sure any conference title game changes a seed that much.
I think he was saying that Duke put a baby in Kentucky and the baby is due July 6th. Which would mean that Kentucky only carries babies for 8 months.Okay, so I read this like five times, and I still don’t get it
Might change the seed for IU if they win the Big 10 conference title game.
UK is carrying Duke's baby .Okay, so I read this like five times, and I still don’t get it
I said a few days ago that Duke got balls deep before UK could get their birth control pill down.
I thought everyone was up to speed on the whole "team A is carrying team B's baby" thing.
We do things at a faster pace at UK.
It really would not matter that much. The NCAA selection committee always screws over UK in the seeding. Last year UK won the tourney and beat Tennessee Sunday in the final. It did not matter one little bit. UT was seeded far better than Kentucky.
Tennessee 3 seed
Auburn 4 seed
Kentucky 5 seed
Florida 6 seed
Texas A&M 7 seed
Arkansas 7 seed
Missouri 8 seed
Alabama 9 seed
On top of that they put Kentucky and Tennessee in the same damn region. Plus Kentucky was in the same side of the bracket as the Number 1 One seed Virginia.
You can talk about Kentucky fans whinning but that was a screwed-up seeding. All the SEC teams sucked in the 2018 NCAA; however, only Tennessee and Kentucky advanced. Why was Auburn given a 4 seed when they had lost one of their better players and lost a bunch of games late? In 2013 Kentucky lost Noel in mid February and did not even get an invite. Auburn should have been no better than a 7 or 8 seed.
But the point is that in the SEC, with the NCAA seeding the tourney, winning the regular season or the SEC Tourney has little meaning for Kentucky.
In Kentucky's 8 national championship seasons, Kentucky is 16-0 against Tennessee. 2019 off to a great start.
Be interesting to see how we play them if Reid cant go. PJ was balls deep in the Vols last year before cramps got to him. We'll win either way but itd be nice to have RT back.
I'm excited to see Montgomery and Richards get more minutes, but yea, I'd feel more comfortable with Reid back. Luckily for us, we are pretty damn deep in the frontcourt.
Im hoping the extra run for Nick males the light bulb go off. We all hollered at PJ last season and the first half this year because we saw what he is capable of. Nick is capable of being a monster on the glass, good shot blocker, and give us some quality put backs on offensive boards. He can give us 10 pts a game easy if he just gets out of his own head.
They also shipped nearly every SEC team out of their region. There was an info graphic of how far the teams had to travel for their first games and it was eye popping. Kentucky was in Boise. Auburn was in San Diego, Tennessee and Florida in Dallas. Arkansas in Detroit, Alabama in Pittsburgh. The only team that was close by and actually stayed in the south east for the first weekend was Missouri who got to play in Nashville. The pod system was supposed to prevent stuff like that. Seems like they seeded the rest of the field and then filled in with SEC teams lol.
Ofcourse in the end it’s hard to complain too much as a Kentucky fan because things opened up nicely for us, got a virtual home game in the S16 and choked to Brice freakin Weber and a mediocre K State team in arguably the worst tournament performance of Cal’s time at UK.
UK just needs to pay the refs like Tennessee does. If Nick looks at someone it is a damned foul.

I did not remember that.
WOW!
That K State game was brutal. I admit I was pretty pessimistic and salty and on the ledge at the beginning of this season in large part because of that. That loss was inexcusable.They also shipped nearly every SEC team out of their region. There was an info graphic of how far the teams had to travel for their first games and it was eye popping.

Bump.
What media idiot scheduled UT-LSU for noon tomorrow. That should absolutely be ESPN prime time. SEC disrespect is real.
