Duke has won 3 titles in Indianapolis, that is unmatched by any other program.
Vegas still favors Duke over Kentucky

Another homer of a post. Again, I understand three wins in a row is huge for Kansas against us, but head to head in such a small time frame means nothing. 7 years is shorter than 11, good grief. Going by history, you all won’t win another one for 30 years or so, either. Of course recent history to you is only three seasons, it fits your awful argument.
Not at all. Again, probably doesn’t mean much to a Duke fan who’s had one good coach in its entire history. Granted he is the GOAT. My stat shows consistency as a program, even through head coaching changes. If you can’t see that then sorry.
Don't fall back on the 1970's series to argue about what's happening today. I'm talking about what's happening now and nothing says Kentucky is doing basketball better than Kansas right now. Also, you're going full homer saying that they have a better future. I just listed out reasons why they don't and you're talking about the 1970's.
tsk tsk
FYI, preseason #1 hasn't won it all since 2009 UNC.
I'm not a fan of being preseason #1. I think the presence of social media makes it way too difficult for the favorite now because the pressure that comes with it is more difficult to ignore.

I see you don’t want to defend your recent history is only three years statement. It was awful. Kentucky will have a better season this season and going forward than Kansas. You guys never win championships, which is the end all goal. I’m not sure why I even feel the need to defend UK against Kansas. Your program is best known for flaming out in the tournament against inferior teams, Kentucky isn’t worried about you guys.
It’s much better in here than the political threads. Much better. I’d rather have a pissing contest about basketball than politics all day
It's crazy what a decade+ of Tubby's mediocrity and BCG's drinking will do for lists like these. And lol comparing UCLA's run to UK's as a % of success. UCLA has 1 title and 6 FFs after Wooden. Total. And half of that success was a three-year run by Howland. UK has had 4 coaches besides Rupp win a national title, and 11 more FFs.
There is no more misused/misunderstood word in college basketball than "talent." Most people mean it as potential, then (bizarrely) equate that to current (i.e 18/19 year old) production. It's madness. Case in point: Mr. Baracus.
Disagree. If Bolden comes out and plays well, they don’t need that with the athleticism of Williamson included. Cole is already 18 and would be eligible for next year. Idk if anyone else feels this way, but why WOULDNT he reclassify? He’s clearly ready for college let alone the NBA
Well, unless you're old, KU's been a better program than UK in your lifetime.
But hey, again...those 40s and 50s titles are sweet ammo, aren't they?
In my lifetime
UK 3 titles
KU 1 title
Swing and a miss. You’d brag about those titles if you had more than three
What school has more than three coaches with titles other than Kentucky? I honestly don’t know, no flame. If I’m incorrect then my B
You didn't say more than.
You said no other school has three.
Carolina
1957 - McGuire
1982, 1993 - Smith
2005, 2009, 2017 - Roy
Kansas
1952 - Phog
1988 - Brown
2008 - Self
And you said no other school has 3. Not more than 3.
Ahh okay, then my statement was wrong
LOL. If I cared enough, I could probably dig up a post of this very guy boasting on Rafters about how badly UK would slaughter the less talented Jayhawks in Rupp. And if not, he's one of about 10 UK fans who didn't have that opinion.
UK fans also thought they were more talented the year before, even after losing.
Here are the highest winning percentages in NCAA Tournament history. I would note that Loyola-Chicago is ahead of Kentucky.
Duke, 112-38, .747
North Carolina, 124-46, .729
Loyola Chicago, 13-5, .722
UCLA, 106-42, .716
Kentucky, 128-52, .711
Florida, 49-20, .710
Kansas, 107-46, .699

I think all of the reclassifying is over with. If Carey did Reclass however and go to Duke my god.
It's worth mentioning that UNC has played 36 tournament games in the state of North Carolina compared to just 18 for UK in Kentucky.
I'm not sure on Duke.
Lol what?
No you could not. But I would be flattered if you tried.
And I have to explain once again (because you imply otherwise) that "talent" =/= college production? FFS, you've had good upperclassmen guards getting drafted in the second round for about 18 straight seasons; you'd think you'd understand the difference by now.
So Uconn is a better program in your lifetime than Kentucky? Oops!
Why are you so bad at this?? They have a much better claim to being better than UK in my lifetime than Kansas does. You’ve hid behind Duke and now UConn in this thread, why are you so insecure about your team?
there has not been one peep about it on our premium board unlike last year with Bagley... but Baker reclassifying was a surprise this year so who the hell knows. I just don't think it's going to happen.
you don't **** Mickie, Mickie ****s you.And both of them fvcked Coach K’s wife
sort of, pretty sure the 1957 "title" for UNC was a helms title. really shouldn't count.
This is not an advantage bud, Duke lives behind enemy lines. Would be more of an advantage in the New York, New Jersey area.
Well, tbh there hasn’t been really a peep about anything regarding Anthony and his recruitment. I dont see why he wouldn’t though. It’s kind of like RJ Hampton. The entire recruiting scene knows he’s gonna reclass next year to the ‘19 class. He’ll be of age just like Cole is now. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.
This always makes me laugh. It's not UK's fault for KU only being good recently. UK is the all time greatest team for a reason. It's all time. No one's fault but your own for being a johnny come lately.
