May not watch- I haven't watched all post season and don't want to jinx us.

Damn. Not even tipped and I'm beyond nervous.

I don't care how bad a team we are ever, I still love UK Basketball and always hate when the season is on the line.

I'm always a 10 nervous even when we're heavy favorites & especially at tournament time. We have to guard the 3 point line today & not allow offensive rebounds for kickout 2nd chance 3's.

This. OAD sucks. Because you can be the best team in America and just have an off night and the other team can't miss. I know that's what makes the NCAAT so special but man it's nerve wracking.

It's always fun coming on here to talk UK sports, basketball in particular and it just sucks the season ends.

0 nerves because I think we’re definitely the underdogs and are playing with house money at this point. Hope the team feels that way too!

I'd feel exactly that way had Cal lost last night. But sadly he didn't So we've got that monkey on us

Meh. I thought it was time for him to go. And I sorta root for him to do well. I just choose to think about the first 10 yrs and not the last 5. A couple of their players worked out at the same facility as my youngest and I know them a bit. Have a former player that is a stud T&F guy there now. I know it’s not popular, but I don’t hate them.

Both teams are missing a player, so neither team can use that as an excuse now. Let's carry the momentum from Oweh's shot and advance. Would love to see Chandler hit an early three

I'm at a 4 because I have no idea what team will show up. I expect us to lose. However, if we are close or winning when there is like 2-3 minutes left then it will rise to 40 lmao

I hate the last few minutes of any tournament game, including ones that aren't ours. Sucks for the losing team- you can see the heartbreak on faces. We've been there and we know is just a gut wrench. Even when its our rivals- while I can enjoy their loss- I still feel for a few of those dudes that busted their butts all year to have it end like that.

I don't hate Cal. I just don't like him at the moment. Had he gone to another conference- I'd absolutely pull for him to do well.
Right now it's more the snarky Arky fanbase and some of our own that tee me off.

We saw exactly why it was time for Cal to go last night- he just had a generational talent to save his *** once again.

Today is the day to see what Pope and this team is made of.

That Oweh Shot kindled a light spark in BBN.

Can the cats upset Iowa State? We better. They have a player down and we better take advantage of it.

On scale of 1-10 how nervous are you?

Go Cats!

Yoy've already set this game thread up for you to go back to your Pope bashing and attacking anyone that supports Pope if we lose.. What a "heads I win, tails you lose" clownshow.

That's the only way he wins, talent, because we all know his in game coaching sucks. There will not be a Darius Acuff in every freshman class to save his ***.

I hope Pope tells them to leave it on the floor today. It's win or go home.
