You didn't upset me at all, you just made yourself look so much worse. You tried to cut on a UK fan and it backfired, because you smoked too much weed.
I'm actually embarrassed for you. Get help.
Wow, if Arkansas sucks, what does that say about UK

I did. I clearly proved that Bignish was being hypocritical. I laid it out very simply for you. He applies a standard to a Duke loss that he refuses to apply to a UK loss. Even he wouldn't admit otherwise.
Everyone should be concerned about their team making a run in March. Nobody is dominant in my eyes (UConn would have the best case to say otherwise). UKs defense needs to improve, but I still firmly believe they are a final four contender.
Duke plays in an awful conference, but guess what, I still think Duke is a final four contender.
Not sure what your question has to do with Bignish completely owning himself and applying one standard to Duke and not to UK...
Hell I'm a newb here and I can see it clearly. Which one of you hurt Exit?
But he dominated duke's front court. Aren't you the same guy that was shitting on UK's front court because they didn't have a post up threat (they actually do). No front court has dominated UK's like the pork chop did last night. One guy did that.
UK has 3 better rim protectors than anything duke has. Z gets better every game, but still, UK has three 7 footers that can all do different things. Again, check Baylor's 2021 roster, their center was 6'5". There is no set formula for wining. Matchups matter.
UK dictates the tempo, in high possession games, you'll have dribing lanes exposed. Again, I'm glad you're here to point out UK's flaws, but the weird thing is, I never said they didn't have flaws. You're over here trying to favorably compare duke to UK and I'm just telling you, duke has more flaws than UK does and UK's ceiling is higher.
Neither team is winning the title, so I don't even see the need for this discussion tbh.
The only teams I trust, are Houston and Tennessee and even those two teams gave holes. I don't trust Purdue, because they depend on one guy and he gets taken out by mid teams too often. I don't trust UConn either. They have dudes, but they aren't beating lesser teams.like they should. Something doesn't sit right with me there. I just don't think they get the job done this year.
Correct. I think they pass the ball well and I think they shoot it well, but they don't do anything that jumps off the page. They’re a good, sound basketball team, but teams that push tempo and play physical, will be a problem for duke. I'm not hating, just giving my thoughts.
We'll see what UK is on a neutral court. They are very explosive.
Check UK's shooting percentages. UK has a guy that shoots north of 50% from 3 and 2 others that are in the low to mid 40's and now Edwards is getting hot.
Why do you think I'm trolling? I've been on defense this entire thread. Again, read the thread title.
Your opinions are subjective and not facts. Your opinion that he was being hypocritical doesn't really add up. You're just upset that a Duke fan has the audacity to make reasonable observations about Kentucky. I agree that the OP, especially the thread title, is stupid as shit and hypocritical. But the content that Nish has delivered, albeit homerism, has not been hypocritical. IMO, of course. I am not going to be so snooty as to say that I have proven you wrong, just by saying that you're wrong.
My question was relevant because if you see Kentucky's defense as a concern, then why are you wasting so much time bitching about a Duke fan saying the same thing, just with so many more words? Some fans tend to be overly defensive and dramatic. You seem to fit that mold.
I wish he would just point to the doll's butthole and say: "there, right there, that’s where UK went balls deep in me… .again and again and again." Just fvcking say it.
You definitely need a proctologist. There's a handful of South Carolina fans on here that can put you on a plan.
Because Nish is in here pointing out UK's flaws and not only ignoring duke's flaws, but making excuses for why duke lost to certain teams, or certain things happened that created situations where duke didn’t look so good. But he doesn’t apply those same excuses to UK.
You are way off base...you haven't read this thread closely enough.
I have never once complained about Nish saying UKs defense sucks. Where have I done that? Again, you are wrong. Haven't even had a conversation with him close to that topic. The great thing is all these posts are documented. So feel free to go back and show me where I did that. Either you have me confused with another UK fan, or you are making things up that are 100% false.
Second, you don't find it hypocritical for him to excuse Duke losing to a WF team (that just lost to three awful teams in a row and is on the wrong side of the bubble) due to it being WFs Super Bowl and playing out of their minds...yet when UK beats a very talented Ark team that has underperformed massively this yr but played out of their minds against UK, he says that shows UK isn't a contender because they had a close game to Ark and should have blown them out??
You don't see the hypocrisy in that? You can't pick and choose who you apply that standard to...has to be applied across the board.
LOL
I've seen a lot of SEC fans shitting on Kentucky lately. Aside from that, it sounds like your vagina's talking again. Maybe you should work on being less annoying and obnoxious if it offends your delicate sensibilities this much?
"Whaaaat? How could anyone think I'm a KU hater???" Two seconds later: "Nobody cares that much about KU." Nice self-own. 😂 🤣
It would be a lot more accurate to say that no one outside of SEC country cares that much about Kentucky these days. Which is why attention-starved nancies like you make so many "look at me" posts. Maybe win more than 1 tourney game in 5 years before you talk shit.
Lastly, there are two threads on the first page here that has anything to do with KU. With the exception of a couple posts (one from a Michigan fan), the rest of us make complimentary, or excusatory posts about Kansas. If we compare the comments in these threads to the shit you spew about UK and UK fans, it's not even close. You hate people that do exactly what you do, only you do it daily on here.
I told you Kansas is not a top 5 team | Rivals Forums
Is Hunter Dickinson the problem? | Rivals Forums
Is Hunter Dickinson the problem?
Consider: Dickinson played last season at Michigan. Despite playing on a team with two first round picks, the Wolverines failed to make the NCAA tournament. In the offseason, Dickinson takes the money and transfers to Kansas. End result; Bill Self loses 7 conference games for the first...forums.rivals.com
LOL. Two examples that allegedly support your point? I could dig up a lot more than two UK-related threads that either have zero posts by me or no "attacks." Brilliant logic as always.
Well we know you sure do. At some point you're gonna have to rise up off his junk and take a breath.
Yes and quite honestly, you should too.
Maybe you should do a little reading before you post. Can you figure out why I'm saying that?
I'll bet the entire board is hanging on every word and refreshing every 30 seconds in anticipation of your next opus. 🤣
What do you mean by "hiding" behind the Quad system? Duke has played 3 elite teams this year, beat Baylor but lost to Arizona and @UNC.
We haven't gotten any other chances but we'd be favored against Florida at home or on the road, favored at USC at home or on the road, favored @ Mississippi St, favored at home vs Alabama.
The only games Duke wouldn't be favored in vs the mighty SEC is @UT and @Auburn.
UK has gotten a shit load of opportunities to face good teams and has blown most of those games. You're 7-7 in Quad 1 and 2 games man those are the facts. You've got a few elite wins like @Auburn and vs UNC but you didn't capitalize vs other good to great teams.
You realize that judging whether a team is tournament worthy is based on their resume right? Pitt has some bad losses and doesn't have enough marquee wins to get in unfortunately. They're 2-6 vs Quad 1 teams while USC is 4-3.
Their metrics put it right on par with a bunch of other tourney teams too. They are just as good. South Carolina has pulled out a bunch of close games they could've lost so credit to them.
On a neutral floor, Pitt and USC would be a Pick'Em game according to Vegas. You can keep masturbating to the Cocks all you want but it doesn't change reality.
What common sense are you using? Efficiency metrics don't take into account wins and losses. They're a true measure of a team since they consider offensive and defensive efficiency adjusted for SOS and tempo.
A worse team can beat a better team twice in a season but based on how the teams do the rest of the season, the worse team isn't all of a sudden better.
If UT loses to the Cocks tonight again, I won't concede that South Carolina is better than UT and neither will you nor should you.
Pitt won't get into the tournament though based on their resume unless they make the Finals of the ACCT or something.
I don't consider myself a homer but reasonable minds can disagree. However you clearly have an SEC bias that's not supported by the facts and metrics.
Really you think UK is worse than Florida and the USC Cocks?
Lay off the drugs dude.
I disagree since UK is not a consistent elite team that takes care of business vs lower tier competition and just loses a few games to solid teams and then goes .500 vs other good teams.
UK has losses to UNCW at home, A&M on the road, LSU on the road and almost dropped games to Mississippi St, St. Joe's and Arkansas both at home and on the road.
You could play in a weaker conference and have the same or worse record. You're not really just dropping games to elite teams besides vs UT and KU. You can lose to anyone if they happen to outscore you.
Duke lost at home to Pitt without 2 starters and Pitt for the millionth time is at minimum a solid team. Losing to Wake on the road is simply not a bad loss.
Would I criticize UK for losing on the road @ Florida or Mississippi St? Of course not!!
You can say whatever you want but I just discredited you. They actually had Langston Love when they played Duke.
Play Duke again and Baylor likely loses again since Duke is an even better team now, is more talented and has shown even greater improvement than Baylor.
Wake Forest is on par with Florida and Mississippi State.
Pitt's on par with South Carolina.
Every efficiency metric agrees with me on this and would just make you look foolish if you keep arguing this point.
Yes we do, Duke's win vs Baylor is better than all of UK's wins except for 2: @Auburn and vs UNC.
No it wouldn't. Duke is #7 on KenPom and has a significant efficiency rating advantage over Kentucky of 6 points.
UK is closer to Pitt than it is to Duke.
Look I agree that our resident Duke moron shouldn't have started this thread. I saw it and commented since I thought UK's performance was concerning for a team the media was hyping up as a sleeper Final 4 pick.
I'm saying Arkansas pulled off a major upset vs Duke that's not repeatable the next day let alone 4 months later when Duke is a much better team.
Why is this so hard to understand? UNCW beat UK @ Rupp. I bet they'd be 15+ point underdogs even the next day let alone now when UK has improved
Its concerning that in March when UK should be peaking they had a terrible defensive game plan and effort vs Arkansas.
I disagree and Torvik backs me up. Duke is a top 5 team alongside those 4 teams you mentioned now. It wasn't a month ago but its peaking both offensively and defensively at the right time.

You're bringing up losses that happened months ago that have no relevance now. Duke is destroying all the solid teams its facing which is impressive.
I'd be more impressed with UK if it lost that road game to Auburn but blew out LSU and Arkansas by 20+ and Mississippi St by 10+.
Ugh, this is too much work.What do you mean by "hiding" behind the Quad system? Duke has played 3 elite teams this year, beat Baylor but lost to Arizona and @UNC.

Scheyer's game plan was to leave DJ Burns single covered and keep our guards glued to our shooters. It worked out brilliantly since none of the NC St guards like Horne or Morsell ever got into any rhythm and flow and Burns got tired in the 2H and Duke coasted.
Its a basketball game. You're not beating teams 80-20 so you're giving up points to someone whether that's a big man or a guard.
3 rim protectors? 🤣
You don't even have 1. Protecting the rim isn't just having a bunch of shotblockers who produce highlight reels. Its about having positional awareness, knowing when to switch and when to help, how to use your height to bother shots but not foul, etc.
Arkansas hit 54% from the field on 2 point FGs and made 34 FGs. That's insane.
Duke absolutely doesn't have more flaws than UK does. How can you argue this when Duke is like 75 spots higher in defensive efficiency?
The champion will come from UT, Houston, Arizona, Purdue, UConn, Duke, Marquette, Creighton or UNC.
What is supposed to jump off the page? They play good team basketball.
They are.
I know. UK goes on some random scoring droughts though and Cal doesn't draw up good shots for the Cats out of timeouts and out of bounds plays.
Also UK is a mediocre offensive rebounding team.
Look at this rustled bitch. Try not losing to Arkansas schmuck. 😆
With great rustlage comes great responsibility Peter.
If you were a pro QB you'd be Rustled Wilson
As I was typing the last post I thought, “which toothless hillbilly uk fan will be triggered first.
