Oh my, is Danny a good person too?

I hate UKO but I love Pubert Davis.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Danny Hurley is a shitbag, no offense.

 

[wcc31]

Yes. Very good person. It’s a shame I can’t root for him.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

Hurley deserves the FIGJAM moniker even more than Mickelson.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

I love Danny Hurley almost as much as I love RFK, Jr.

 

[John_Strangways]

Everyone knows Hurley is the most OBNOXIOUS kind of east coast *******. How about some of you basketballs take a look at the box scores from the UK/UT games and get the hype machine going. Our lineups for both of those games were shaky and less than ideal. They aren't really now. We will beat Rick Barnes three times.

Ansley Almonor was 6-10 with 25 points in the 2 games with Tennessee. He's just been biding his time this tournament waiting to play a Marcus Lee role in the Sweet 16.

I’ve never been a big fan of “all the pressure is on the other team” cliche but honestly in this particular case, all the pressure is definitely on UT in this one.

Yep, we're just a **** bag UK team who is playing with house money and happy to be here.

at Weetabix being the largest selling breakfast cereal in the United States since Sunday...

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

I was thinking about trying some, but that probably means I’ll actually have to go to Whole Foods. Ugh

Yep, they are favored, already lost two this year to UK, owned by UK for its entire history, and decades of NCAA Tournament flops.

Word. We beat these guys in Thompson-Bowling 2 months ago without Lamont Butler. UT hasn't gotten anyone back or anything. Pretty weird that they are so heavily favored.

They are legit so I am not discounting them but if this Wildcat Fan was setting the line, it would be a pick 'em.

 

[wildcatadam6]

It truly can’t be overstated in how much the pressure is truly 100% on their shoulders. Let’s get a bunch of this energy today in here.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

50/50 game. Go play well and you can win it. Very little diff in the 2 teams.

 

[Ron Mehico]

The whole thing is incredibly odd. Not only were we underdogs in the first two games, but we were very injured and missing key players and in losing streaks not playing particularly well when we won both games. We’re now fully-ish healthier and it’s on a neutral court and we’re still underdogs. It’s like people can’t wrap their heads around the fact we match up well with them. But it still feels like a very pressure free game from our perspective.

 

[KingLlama]

who knows maybe our underdogs will win

 

[krazykats]

For UT to beat us they have to be on fire IMO. Felt the same with Illinois.

Butler can’t get in foul trouble, limit turnovers, and Butler, Oweh and Brea have to attack the basket.

Those two games came down to three point shooting. UK shot 12-24 in both games. UT shot 3-18 at Rupp, and 11-45 at UT.

 

[krazykats]

Correct, hence my idea that for us to lose they’d have to catch fire.

Our defense had something to do with that.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I'm fine with us being the underdog; in perpetuity. In fact, I prefer it.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Anyone know if TV Teddy, Doug Shows, or Pat Adams are in Indy? If so, no actual gameplay statistics can translate to possible outcome.

I would much prefer to be the bad to the bone, gonna walk all over your *** team and the opponent already feels like they have lost when we walk in the gym such as the 96/12 teams……

Or we can be the underdog. That’s fun too, I guess.

The University of Delaware mascot was throwing me for a loop, had to do a reverse image search to figure that one out.

Tennessee is 2-8 in Sweet 16 games.

Kentucky is 38-7 in Sweet 16 games.

 

[btodd0224 n/a?]

Does anyone here live in New Mexico? If so, go tell their PG to come be our PG for next year. He just hit the portal and we need him.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Tennessee is 2-8 in Sweet 16 games.

Kentucky is 38-7 in Sweet 16 games.

The round that has killed us (BY FAR) in the tourney is that f’n E8 round.

You can’t spell “Tennessee” without “******.” Please respect my opinion.

This is the guard I want the most.

17-21 in Elite 8 games

 

[Vismund]

Every single talking head picking UT is saying we shot out of our asses in the wins and are using Lanier and Zieglers recent shooting as evidence they will magically shoot better this time. Theyre also ignoring the difference in our roster both times we played.

They also love talking about our defensive lapses in our last 13 games but ignore how we've shut down our two tourney opponents.

I think Lanier and Zieglers have to be great for them to win and I trust Butler and Oweh to make sure that wont happen.

Only way we lose this is piss poor shooting or officiating tomfoolery. UT is dreading this matchup.

 

[legalbeagle123]

I think BBN is going to show up massive for this one.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Tennessee strikes me as a team that is really easy to scout, and they aren’t athletic enough to abuse us on either end of the court. Also, they instinctively lose interest once something turns 16. ADVANTAGE - CATS.
