Tennessee has been a top 5/ top 10 team all year. Kentucky is a good team but it's nowhere near close to your best teams and youve lost nearly 10 games
The SEC is shaping up to be a tough Conference
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Cal is whiney bitch. That dude rides the officials regardless of the calls you are getting
So you think the rest of the country would rather tune in to watch Tennessee play defense over the #1 and #5 offenses in the country square off in Rupp? You're smarter than this, right?
Also, if you go to kenpom and you filter starting in February, you will see UK's defense falls somewhere around 12th, so it looks to me like Pope HAS taught his depleted team how to play defense and did it mostly without Butler.
As a Tennessee fan, you should know UK's defense is better than the 61st ranked team.

They (Kentucky) have a good team, they just aren’t coached as well as they have been.

Great, UT has been a top 5-10 team all year, so tell me, why would the rest of the country rather tune in to watch 17th ranked UK? 2 reasons:
1) UK has a great offense, UT's offense is ass.
2) UK is a blue blood with a massive fanbase and UT is/does not.
Also, what are UT's best wins? UK has knocked off more high end teams and everyone wants to see if they can do it again today.
Bama and Tennessee are playing for the last 1 seed, you are just being a homer or troll with your statement. Kentucky has a good offense but has to hope that the other team misses their open shots.
You have claimed that kenpom says Kentucky’s defense is #12 in February? If that’s true then they should NEVER trust analytics because Kentucky gives up a lot of open shots. If a team isn’t hitting, that doesn’t make your defense better.
The Truth shall set you free and also piss off Kentucky fans 😉
So, you didn't have any questions over those facts afterall.
UT is the #1 defense and bama is the # 3 offense. #1 vs #3 is a pretty compelling match-up. Auburn is #1 offense vs the #62 defense, not so much. Afterall, offenses play defenses don't they?
Get your facts straight. UK has 9 losses.
Correction: * 9 losses. I'm shocked Scotty didn't pick up on my blunder and napalm me.Get your facts straight. UK has 9 losses.
This is dumb, every team gets open shots. Very rarely do you see a team get a shot clock violation. UK has consistently been holding teams below their averages.
How many times are you going to whine and cry on here about UK's opponents missing shots and that being the only reason UK wins? UK misses open shots too, this isn’t Pleasantville.
Tennessee has the #1 rated defense, why did UK get any shot they wanted in both game?
This isn’t me being a homer, especially when the rankings are posted right here in this thread. Auburn @ UK is the top rated game and it's not me making the rankings.
And an ACC fan talking about the metrics being flawed, is about as rich as it gets.
Louisville jacked 40 3s and UK shot half that. Pointing solely to FT disparity as some big "gotcha" like there was lopsided officiating is a loser's argument. There are many more variables that go into it.
Vols also have a massive fanbase. Our crowd ranks top 10 in attendance every year.
You’re saying this to a UK fan, in a discussion about viewership. Do I need to explain any further?
We had to jack up threes because they were letting you guys mug us inside.
Your error here is that you are confusing averages as absolutes, they are not. UK and UT play well sometimes and not so well other times.
There is a reason Dick Vitale is calling our game he calls the best game every week
Your viewership is inflated because Louisville fans watch also. If you notice there’s a huge drop in your viewership if you aren’t playing anyone that might beat you.
The thought of this UK team mugging another team, is hilarious to me.
I guess it's no surprise Louisville has gotten punked by every SEC team they played.
Total fouls
Louisville - 20
Kentucky - 18
And that's with Louisville taking a million jumpers. Seems to me UK got screwed by the whistle.
Yeah, all 6 Louisville fans really move the needle.
Go over to your home board, it's a ghost town and has been for 10 years. Days will go by and nobody even comments. Is Zipp even still on there?
The other thing that's funny about what you said is, Pat Kelsea is literally out begging for UL fans to attend games. I guess those UL fans are more about UK than they're own team. Yeah, right.
Let me get this straight…
You’re offended that someone had the gall to call Kentucky a “very good team?” 🤣
I'll say this, I don't think the refs were a big factor in our game in Lexington. However, the most biased game UT every played was in Lexington a few years ago.Total fouls
Louisville - 20
Kentucky - 18
And that's with Louisville taking a million jumpers. Seems to me UK got screwed by the whistle.
Offended? No, but when you get swept by someone that was missing players and you're calling yourself great, it's just kinda odd to me.
Louisville has a very small fanbase, nobody outside that city even cares about Louisville.
After all the transgressions, y'all are that stinky kid in class that nobody wants to sit next to, not even your own family.
They can get a little crazy. They got pissy with me when I rated UK a 7 on their season. I asked what Nick rated them and it was a 6. I rated them higher than he rated them and he still took issue with me.
Tennessee has a tendency to play down to their competition, it bit them twice against Kentucky.
They???
I get you're conversing with ExitFlagger, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to exaggerate too.
Yeah, but that was because you would shut about the injuries. It wasn't like I was arguing against it, but you would hush about it.
Anywho, this is a silly argument to begin with. Obviously, UKAU is important to you and UT/bama is important to me.
Just stop! You’re just making yourself look like JC’s offspring with this. Louisville has a top ten fanbase in basketball.

Yeah, so me responding to people asking questions means I was just going off talking about injuries unprovoked? You act like there wasn't a conversation about it.
You don't like to hear about UK's injuroes and I don't feel like reading a bunch of bullshit about some phantom home whistle UK gets in Rupp, so, like you said, Pipe down, we're tired of hearing it.
That was kinda hateful. I said, y'all didn't get a home whistle and you're pissed about it? That is kinda cra cra, Jeff.
