Two sides to the coin my friend…..Everyone outside of Kentucky snickers at UK. Every year you guys have the top recruiting class in the country and you’re ranked in the top 5. Yet by February you’re either out of the top 25 or barely hanging on. Plus you gave your coach a lifetime contract to continue this insanity. The only thing is no one started a “bump this thread when UK SUCKS.”
We are not friends.

Nobody here cares about that game, we played horrible and got a crap whistle and still should have won. We brushed it off 10 minutes later because we knew we were the real deal, then we went on to. It only beat IU in the tournament but win a ship.
And if I heard this right, I believe Kentucky scored more points in that tournament win than IU has ever given up in the tournament. Could be wrong, but heard that a couple times.

I think that is correct, let me check… yes it is. 102 points on them actually.

A little extra laugh -- IUse2bee wore "throwback" 1987 uniforms in which to be blown out today. Most people didn't notice since their new uniforms look 40 years old, but it was announced to the press to great farfare just before Michigan started pounding them.

Even the distant memory of their last glimpse of glory turned into a joke.

I beg to differ……UK has a great fan base. Some fans are very knowledgeable and call it like it is. The current fans that bump this thread are two types. They’re either ticked off that IU beat them in Bloomington and caused a huge embarrassment, and they can’t cope with it. Or, they’re in their 20’s and have never experienced a program on the rebuild. The latter fan base never experienced the Eddie Sutton era. They’ve probably have no clue Eddie Sutton was even a coach at UK. All they know Cal is great and IU sucks. So they bump the thread. But what goes up, also goes down…..
So losing a game in December in the season we won the National Championship is a “huge embarrassment” in your mind? OK. I’ll take another of those huge embarrassments this year? LOL

They basically have to beat Michigan State at East Lansing on Saturday or be in serious jeopardy of missing the NCAA tournament. That would be the TENTH TIME in FOURTEEN YEARS they did not dance.

* This year is also the 20th anniversary of the last time the Hoosiers advanced past the Sweet 16. Think of it: What Kentucky was hugely disappointed to do in 2019, lose in the Elite Eight in Overtime, was farther than Indiana has been since 2002.

* And it is the 35th ANNIVERSARY of the last time the Hoosiers won any kind of post-season tournament, even the Big Ten Tourney.

* And barring a run this year, next year will mark THIRTY YEARS during which Indiana advanced past the Sweet 16 ONCE - that fluke run in 2002 aided by Duke's collapse in a game at Rupp and other upsets in their bracket.

Imagine if dating back to Jamal Mashburn and Travis Ford Kentucky had gotten past the Sweet 16 ONCE. That's how much Indiana sucks.
