***** OFFICIAL NCAAT Illinois Vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[bbnkat02]

I don't feel good about it today at all.
My stomach hurts.
I'm drowning in tech work.
And now WKY is under its SECOND Tornado Watch in less that a week but nonetheless....

Let's get this done BBN!

C-A-T-S
CATS CATS CATS!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

0 expectations today. No idea what's gonna happen.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Can we please have one of those games where AA comes in and makes 4 threes.

 

[UKDC80]

IL will come out firing and hit shots. UK sloppy/cold! UK never recovers. 84-72. Sorry, just my opinion.

 

[bbnkat02]

Essentially a road game today. Let's hope our boys are ready to play

 

[mcwildcats04]

Can we got Lamont to run out on the floor and take his shoulder brace off and slam it to the ground?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

 

[bbnkat02]

Tip is now 1630 CST. I didn't realize we got bumped back that far.

More anxious waiting.

We won in coxville and they had a huge hostile crowd advantage!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

...and then quickly put it back on on the sideline

4:30 CST

Sorry, my brain works on 24H clock.

 

[bbnkat02]

Shameless Bump to keep this towards the top so it doesn't get buried by game time

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Blue!!!

Or Amari just goes off. Or Brea turns into Steph Curry and hits a one handed three from the exit.

We are one county east of Nashville, TN. They are under a watch until 11pm cst but we magically aren't lol so weird. Guess u gotta stop the watch somewhere.

 

[onearmedjesus]

17 minutes to tip time. Going through my pre-game ritual. Feeling good about my Cats.

 

[mrjuk]

GO BIG BLUE!!!

Yeah, I always love that. Like the tornado would stop at the county line and go "Woah woah woah! They didn't issue a watch here. I'm not allowed to go there!"

 

[onearmedjesus]

By the way, Scott Drew is a horrible coach. That is all.

 

[the dopester]

They gotta interview cooper ***!

Is it true he’s only 18?

 

[bbnkat02]

Sweet something of someplace....just turned on CBS and Duke is obliterating Baylor. But Duke sucks right? RIGHT?!

 

[will1976]

Let's F$%#@in Go!

 

[Bkocats]

I’m a nervous wreck right now
I want to win so badly I can’t look at this philosophically .

Same. Same. I almost don't even want to watch. But I'm a big brave boy and will be here to the bitter end (unless we go down by 20 or something....then I gotta take a walk and would be back to see the last minute or so)

 

[ManitouDan]

12 minutes , I’m jittery

Random tidbit but I just noticed BYU would've played Illinois in the 2nd round last year if they hadn't been upset in the first round by Duquesne. Illinois went on to beat Duquesne by 26.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Go Cats!

It’s tough to disconnect that. Taken me years and I still suck at it. All I know is it will be fine. I’ll still be a fan. We’ll still have a team and a chance. I’m proud of how Pope & Co performed outside of some bad losses, but to think we’d even be in this position after a massive program change - I’m pretty happy about it. GBB!

He's due!
