I really don’t want our run to end. And especially don’t want it to end to them low down. Dirty. Snitches.
Game Day. Nerves. So many nerves.

My wife's first ever UK game and my first since the AD era. Gonna cheer for them in Indy like my life depends on it. If we fall tonight, it won't be from a lack of support from BBN.
Great job being up there and cheering on our team! How many Kentucky fans you think make the trip?
Well, I haven't even wanted to watch a game in person since the platoon year. Didn't really feel like watching any games, tbh. I couldn't tell you the first thing about Wenyen Gabriel or any of the guys we had since then. I know Tshiebwe was a great rebounder... The Shaedon Sharpe BS.... That's about it.
Then I went to Pope's intro in Rupp. Making it to the Sweet Sixteen reactivated me like a sleeper agent, I suppose, and I know for a fact another buddy of mine feels the same way and is also going to Indy. If we win tonight, we'll probably stay up there for Sunday's matchup.
I really couldn't wager how many we'll have since this is my first Sweet Sixteen, but I feel like the aura is immaculate... to borrow a phrase from Gen Z. So take that for what it's worth.
If I had to guess, I think we show out.
Yeah yeah yeah. Shows I care damn it.
You pour negative energy over a positive day. Just take off. We may lose but worry changes nothing.
Whatever happens tonight, doesn't erase the amazing work Pope and the team have done this year. I feel good about our chances tonight, like you, I feel that there'd be nothing worse than to get knocked out by Tennessee, but have faith. We didn't make our first S16 in 6 years on pure luck.
Whatever man. I’m here win lose or draw. Always unless I’m sick as a dog.
I was really nervous last Friday with Troy given our recent history but today as of right now I'm not worried. We can beat UT. If we don't a s16 was a successful season for this group.
If it was anyone else I’d not be near a stressed. I effing HATE UT.
I was crazy nervous against Troy, pretty nervous for Illinois, not so much today (yet). I am sure once the game gets close I will be.
I wouldn't be super upset about losing in the Sweet 16 but losing in the Sweet 16 to UT would be tough to swallow

I’ve grown concerned for the OP’s mental health over the years. Seems like he’s perpetually telling us how worried, nervous and anxious he is about things.
I’m oddly calm for now.
I was also oddly calm for Illinois. I was a basket case for Troy.
Hopefully this is an omen. Lol.

My nerves typically don’t start until right before the game. I think if we played like Illinois we can win by 7-10
In honor of these words, I think everyone should watch them come straight from the horse's mouth.
This board has taught me that the correct answer is, "cats by 90".
All of the pressure is on Tennessee tonight.
Like I mentioned. If we were playing say Purdue tonight I’d be ready to rip a wall down. Being in borderland, man, them damn Vols are loudmouth bass-tards.
The interview was over and he walks away saying, "I can't stress that enough." A true believer.
I’m aware. I live 6 miles from the Tennessee line in the southwestern part of the state. My local Walmart sells UK, WKU and UT gear.
I’m a fan of the first school, have a degree from the second school and loathe the third school.
I have seen more orange here this week than any other time I have lived here (moved here in 2023). That obnoxious color fits that obnoxious fanbase like a damn glove.
I'll be there with you....................... GO BIG BLUE... I debated on getting tickets but got them this morning......
Plenty nervous simply because it involves the Vomiteers. Any other team left in the tournament and I would feel like we are playing with house money. But not those filthy hilljacks. I will say one thing- if Pope and company pull this off tonite, the BBN euphoria will be off the charts.
I've been pretty calm through this tournament.
"We're on a mission from God."
"We're on a mission from God."
I wonder tho if the players feel this way lol.
Because yeah they are the better seed and the one everyone expects to win the game.
I still can't help but think our guys will feel a bit of pressure tho lol.
Nervous wreck about tonight, don’t know why I get so worked up about something I have zero control over. Gulping down two cups of coffee doesn’t help either. Pope has brought the hardcore passion back to the program
I'm not nervous with Pope at the helm.
We won't lose for lack of effort both teams are really good.

Man, I got almost none. I'm sure they will kick in at game time, and if we were to lose, I'll be pissed.
But it's house money for me. 3-seed, one of the most injury riddled teams this decade, we get a Sweet16, while playing in the toughest conference in the history of the sport. I really cant expect much more than this. I like to think of the positives.. and for me, it's really hard to have any complaints this season.

I would run through a field of the sharpest glass barefoot if it means we win tonight
Hopefully we improve our FT shooting of it comes down to the wire. A 65% night could send us home... easily.
What is the magic number for ft%? I remember hearing it's something like 75% if you're up and you can usually maintain the lead in a foul-fest.
Been lucky. My day started 30 minutes early at work and has been pretty much non stop. The day has flown by so far. I have caught up now, just going to answer phones till 4pm as the others are in the field. I answer from home. So sitting here watching Night Agent right now and will have about 2.5 hours of hopefully not much going on.
