My stress level during the tournament is going to be borderline suicidal.

Did you play sports?

I’m pretty damn eager myself, but I see this group as back against the wall and they’ll respond.

No need to celebrate Dilly and Z, but I was happy today for Wagner, Thiero, Bradshaw and Edwards despite his 3 missed layups which would have made for a spectacular game for him if he hits all 3.

I just don’t see how anyone who played sports would be stressed about tournament time.

Whether I was on what was thought to be really good teams or teams that didn’t belong tournament time was always exciting and an opportunity to shine.

I know we can lose, but there is only 2-3 teams I truly feel may be a mismatch to where we are not the better team.

Barring a matchup with them I’ll be good to go, and most likely those teams we won’t face until the E8 at best.

Bradshaw was awesome today. You love to see it.

DJ loves giving it up to Reed early on a break ala the no look pass to Bradshaw play in the first.

Respect to the Arkansas kids they killed our man to man defense.

Feels like Jay Wright is just dying to coach in Lex.

Ffs ayfkm? Can you just give it a rest? What a stupid *** take.

There's clearly a difference being an unaware 18 year old high major basketball player vs a 40 year something BJW who follows this program 365 days a year.

Candidly, I don't trust ANY fan who isn't nervous when it comes to the Tourney. Don't care if you're the most talented team or not, it takes one bad night... or a string of bad luck to send you home.

People that make 25K posts on a college sports message board don't need to posture about how relaxed and enjoyable the NCAA Tourney is when Kentucky is on the floor. That's ********.

Sick of this. Take an effing break.

That's a.ridiculous take

Tournament time is like a drug addiction, highest of highs, lowest of lows. As you're winning, there's hardly anything better, can't sleep, you're completely wired but everything in the world is a little better, a little prettier so long as it doesn't affect that next game. Concentration on work, forget it. Other social activities, nope, gotta find things where they're talking about your team. Superstitions get more ingrained, clothing you had on last game, what kind of meal you had, did my kids or wife watch part of the.game with me and how did the team perform when they were there, so now they may not be allowed in. You yourself might not watch if things get tight because of that time you left the room, the team played better when you went into the kitchen, so you're banning yourself to the kitchen. Even if you don't believe in God, you're thinking maybe you should and you start negotiating with him, her, or it.

Then when they lose, it's devastating. If they only had done this one thing differently, someone forgot to show up to play on this night of all nights, or same old ******** from some player or coach that's been an issue all season. It's like a death of someone close, you don't want to get out of bed, go to work. Another wasted season, what are you going to do until September when at least football starts. Then you get pissed about how you let this stuff rule your life and how you should really focus on something that is worthwhile and rewarding because even though you say you're not going do this to yourself and your family again, you know this is who you are and you're going to do it again

But if they win, it's all worth it.

Yeah, fourth team all-academic honors. Nice try, loser.

This team makes the old urge for fighting arise. I haven’t felt it since 2017. I would have fought with Monk/Fox. I tried to fight numerous people later that night, alone, but luckily a good friend pulled me out and put me in bed.
I'm still first team all I'll f__k you up, hippie.

At least after the game Cal admitted Edwards is better at the 4 and that when Dillingham is hot you just have to ride him.
That is progress. But Cal says a lot of stuff, which I'm sure he means at the time, but something just HAPPENS to his brain, in the middle of games, and he just, for lack of a better term; LOSES IT. I just don't trust him anymore. Not one single bit.
