Tell her if you knew how it would be you would have cried your eyes out!! Lol
He looks like a guy who goes home to punch
nickname for Chandler, Stormin Mormon ? 
If just one of our freaking bigs could consistently score under the basket, we would be a serious NC contender. As it is now, we live by the 3 and die by the 3. I will continue to enjoy the ride for as far as it goes.
Every time I turned the game on, the Illini started coming back. I had to turn the game off and turn off the score I was watching, then the Cats pulled back up....Darn it I wanted to watch the Cats and could not.... "Ain't" stuperstitious either!!! Go CATS!!!
Oh and.....
Oh and.....
Congratulations Cats and Congratulations Coach Pope!
Kinda different looking forward to another weekend!!
Anyone else n Nashville area want to join me to gangs of NY UT fans this week? They may have the numbers but we have the heart fellas!
Pope has completely fixed the foundation that Cal poisoned, incredible
Thank you Butler for that CLUTCH steal and pass to Garrison for the bucket when the game was still in doubt. Thank you Almonor for hitting clutch free throws at the end. And THANK YOU KOBY BREA for BALLING OUT the WHOLE GAME!! We needed this!!!!
Hey, at least your not on game thread duty. Now I feel like if we lose it's my fault. lol
They have 41 years now to cry about the one foul they got in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
This fanbase needed this man. Thank you pope
Kentucky had only 1 turnover 2nd half and only 5 for the game meanwhile Illinois had 14 turnovers
That was your game in a nutshell
That was your game in a nutshell
The week leading up to sweet 16 is the best. Because you can be cocky and **** talk all week
And my apologies to Andrew Carr. I've never cussed a player like I did him today with those three straight missed layups. But damn it man, my heart!
March Pope. LaMarch Butler.
This game was never in doubt … we were much the better team.
LaMarch is grinding out there. He’s doing all he can. I love that dude so much, I wish we got to enjoy him for another year.Thank you Butler for that CLUTCH steal and pass to Garrison for the bucket when the game was still in doubt. Thank you Almonor for hitting clutch free throws at the end. And THANK YOU KOBY BREA for BALLING OUT the WHOLE GAME!! We needed this!!!!
You can get married as many times as you want but Pope can only go to his first sweet sixteen once! Tell her and she will understand!
That was huge - LaMarch baby!!!Thank you Butler for that CLUTCH steal and pass to Garrison for the bucket when the game was still in doubt. Thank you Almonor for hitting clutch free throws at the end. And THANK YOU KOBY BREA for BALLING OUT the WHOLE GAME!! We needed this!!!!
I absolutely think we can win the next game. But to come in with no team and have us in the sweet 16 year 1 is already an A+ job from Coach Pope. Go Cats!
man went straight to 60 minutes.... didn't even get to see what the talking heads had to say
I had to get the Varsity network app to get the 2nd half of Tom Leach. They are still talking and interviewing players.
Is everyone else 7 feet tall? Were you not watching the game? He could barely get up the floor. Dude played great today and played hard. They get tired, especially the big men. Have you never played in your life?
He lowkey played his *** off without putting up great numbers IMO. Dude was battling and was the most physical I've seen him in a long time
