There was a reason Brea was a 4-year 6th man at Dayton. Well, whatever held him back is gone because he's a big-time player now.

I am slowly recovering from Cal PTSD. I was sweating the entire second half waiting for the players to go ice cold, play stall ball and watch IL get right back into it. Nope, we have players who may not be NBA locks but do not melt on the biggest stage and a coach who makes actual adjustments and does not take his foot off the gas. Beating UT 3 times will be incredibly difficult but I like this team’s chances.

 

[funKYcat75]

I like this feeling. It’s better than the other feeling.

If Bama hangs on and Ole Miss wins, that will break the record for most teams from same conference in Sweet 16. Gonna tie it at the very least.

And yet, Athlon only looks at the negative. Idiots.

Mark Pope at his press conference...

 

[klambert6]

Our starting five is legit, and our bench had 13 more points than theirs. Winning combo.

Might as well be Tennessee.

We can score 80 points consistently controlling the tempo like this. How many other teams can?

Absolutely on one right now. Should've taken tomorrow off.

I had an eye infection when we played and beat Missouri and had to wear an eyepatch for two days.

I got that stupid thing out tonight, and watched the entire game with it on.

that's how deep I roll...

DAMN TERPS

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Maryland ending was sick... needed a buzzer beater.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Roger Ayers, who sucks, completely whiffed on a blatant travel by Queen.

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

The Clown is my pirate. That fuc*er from Illinois looked like a goddamned pirate.

I tracked a bird all over my zip code today. A blue heron who begins his day on my roof. Didn’t shoot him, and don’t want to. I just want to know him.

Any rock and rollers out there? Clapton and Winwood live at MSG in 2009 is hard to beat.

Suck it a little bit harder, Kate. Just a little bit…..yeah…..

One step, two steps, three steps, game winner!

Wait, what?

 

[ukalumni00]

WTF?? That was a blatant travel by Queen. How do you miss that call and none of the commentators say a word about it.

 

[gattongrad09]

I read to entire digital program today and I guess I missed Noah chose #9 to win 9. That and now the clown watching with a patch I mean why not lets hang one.

 

[ktatum]

This tourney feels pretty Cinderella-less. I mean, I think everyone left is from a major conference.

 

[funKYcat75]

, I think everyone left is from a major conference.

Well, except for Duke.

 

[BBdK]

How come @cole854 stopped posting on X/other last few days?

Ha, you gaping ***** POS psychopath lmao.

Bless your pathetic heart. See you back strong as soon as your sugar momma’s team loses, i assume?

Lmao. Loser

Arkansas is a 10 seed. Closest you got, we just have a bias against them

 

[sinker16]

Feels good to feel like Kentucky again. Feels good to be a fan again. So many of us across the commonwealth had completely checked out on having any connection to the disgrace of the last few years. The kneeling was a last straw for many. Now we are back and we have our winning program back with one of our own at the helm. Criminal that it's been so long since we've been in this position and Mark comes in and gets it done his first year after throwing a team together last minute. Truly amazing.

Great pick, Seth.

This tourney feels pretty Cinderella-less. I mean, I think everyone left is from a major conference.

It’s been one of the most boring tournaments in recent memory. Few close games. I think the R64 had the largest average margin of victory ever.

 

[UKwizard]

The power conference teams have stolen all the mid majors top players via the portal.

 

[Vismund]

Regardless of how you want to view it, the quality of college basketball has skyrocketed since the portal became a thing. Just got to find a way to protect the little schools a bit more (thinking two year contracts or some such).

 

[Ron Mehico]

I mean it should make the sweet sixteen and elite eight much better than a bunch of ****** 2 vs 10 seeds like we always get.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

NIL. It’s going to absolutely kill the little/mid-majors. No more 3+ year development of program and team. Everyone is basically an unrestricted free agent after every season. The deck is more stacked against the little guys than ever.

And the talk of expanding the field? That would ruin the tournament. Marcus go to a best of 5 for the final Four if you do something like that.

 

[paintrain_cat]

Don't bring this **** in here.

 

[sinker16]

Lol idiot. Are you saying that's not a fact?

 

[cawoodsct]

 

[Wodie sloot]

Cheers Wildcat Friends!

Let’s go!

G was THREE last time we made the Sweet Sixteen and doesn’t even remember. Hell, I was still in my 30s.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Mark Pope won twice as many NCAA Tournament games this weekend (2) than UL has won since 2009 (1).

 

[Anon1700452283]

There was a reason Brea was a 4-year 6th man at Dayton. Well, whatever held him back is gone because he's a big-time player now.

Stress fractures in both tibias and surgery with rods inserted in both his legs was the main thing holding him back.

 

[The_Godfather_rivals]

Lol idiot. Are you saying that's not a fact?

No. He’s saying to STFU

 

[krazykats]

Ole Miss is flat out killing ISU.

7 teams in the S16 is just stupid. There is a solid chance we have 6 in the E8.

I can’t wind down and it sucks tomorrow is Monday.

I hate feeling like the S16 is this damn special but it absolutely feels like we just made the F4 for some reason.

Our starting 5 vs UT starting 5 is there even a position you take their guy?

Butler/Ziegler
Oweh/Lanier
Brea/Mayock
Carr/Milicic
Williams/Okopar(?)


I wouldn’t take a single one of their guys over ours.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

It is impressive that the SEC will have 7 teams in the Sweet 16, BUT the SEC can also eat ****.

 

[Vismund]

Honestly, I just don't think Rick Barnes knows how to coach against what Pope and our offense does. In both of his postgame interviews he was asked what we ran that gave them problems and he spent the entire time talking about not executing defensively. Could just be coach jargon but given the results (and our injuries) it's evident that UT struggles against us.

 

[sinker16]

No. He’s saying to STFU

I simply stated a very obvious fact to support my broader point. Seems absolutely crazy to me for anyone to be getting all bent out of shape about that (while disrupting the thread) but you do you.

 

[UKwizard]

We won that game they kneeled. So stfu.

The majority of this thread likely doesn't give a **** about kneeling and the few that do don't care about it anymore. It's a stupid divisive point to bring up when we should be celebrating our first sweet 16 in 6 years.

Talk about derailing a thread.

 

[wildcatadam6]

I don’t even remember a kneel-gate. I was admittedly tuned out for much of Cal’s last five years, so…

Someone fill me in

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

ur mom kneeled for my big blue serpent earlier

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

We won that game they kneeled. So stfu.

That’s about the only game those jokers won. 5 NBA players on that team plus a guy who would have been and we can’t break .500. Damn it that team made me mad.
