The Horn three point shot

[theBlues]

I admit I involuntarily jumped out of my chair when he hit that. How can such a meaningless bucket be so satisfying?
It was good to see the entire team and all of Rupp Arena being so happy for him. Horn is the ultimate "just glad to be there" guy.

NBA 1st round draft pick babeeeeeee!!!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Loved watching the bench erupt like that You can tell those guys were having fun, that’s what it’s supposed to be..

 

[Kentucky15]

Thought it was a hair short. Bench definitely grew with confidence on that one. Awesome shot.

I thought it was too. It looked so wounded going up.

Maybe whatever miasma has been in Rupp just got cleansed.

 

[Wunky]

You can’t tell me this team doesn’t like each other.

They just have to start playing with a damn chip on their shoulder. And start making opposing defenses WORK instead of jacking up lazy, contested shots with nobody on the glass.

I dunno man. Something was definitely up the past two weeks. We had guys playing major hog ball. Yelling at each other on the sidelines, etc. And it wasn't a "swtich flip thing" either. SOMETHING was wrong.

Hopefully, it's behind us. But we will have to see.

That shot helped. For sure.

They looked Ike a different team tonight. Hoping this turns up I haven’t slept that great lately. Not a big deal in the grand scheme but still bugs the crap outa me

I think there was definitely something going on. It’s probably between 2 or 3 of them though, and it’s just caused a massive issue. I’ll always think it’s about Aberdeen and MO coming in and Oweh has some kind of issue. Especially with Aberdeen, probably a “I’m the man it’s my team” thing honestly but who knows.

Michael Jordan and Pippen showed how you handle that. You hate each other fine, but handle your f’n business.

I feel you. I felt as bad since last Tuesday as I didn't in Cal's last few months. Like, it bothers me when we aren't competitive. I'm not completely insane, I know we will lose games and can't always win the title. But we can always play hard and play smart. Always.

It was easily the most enjoyable moment of the year so far for me. I think the players felt the same way.

It reeked of girl trouble too. Like, come on. These guys are always around each other, so, their girls are gonna be around too. Someone says something, does something and it causes a stir. Happens. These guys are young and they don't always think about it and once it comes out- dude's can get offended over a girl pretty quick. I've seen it happen with dudes that age and in high school.

It's the dumbest crap but man, it gets serious REAL quick. Happened in a band program I was helping once. Dude hits on his section leader's girl, and tbf he didn't mean too, it just kinda slipped out. Now, these guys aren't like BFs or anything, but they get along and like each other. Whelp. Once that happened, it caused turmoil and bad feelings for like a month.

It's stupid crap but at that age, it interferes easily.

Thanks; I fixed it. Where did I get the "Van" from? lol

Never heard of him. lol I'm just crazy.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Dagger? Like it was ever in doubt

 

[paulcalhoun_rivals397471]

Never heard of him. lol I'm just crazy.

He was Utah's star player under coach Rick Majerus in the mid 90's.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

He came off that screen better than some of our starters lol.

 

[theBlues]

He was Utah's star player under coach Rick Majerus in the mid 90's.

So I did hear of him and just forgot. Thanks.

 

[RobEStacy]

Did him dirty on the slow mo shot of him running back..... His comb over was flopping really bad....

 

[TortElvisII]

He gone.

 

[JwUKFan11]

He will hear about that at Thanksgiving

 

[fs-ripcord65]

I mean Keith Van Horn is a pretty well known player.

And a pretty good player. Consensus 1st Team All American at Utah in 1997.

They were tied 25-25. Not great

 

[Kentucky15]

I mean, it was like a 50 point blowout nearly

Do you also usually say Germany fought the Red Army at the front lines for 15 good minutes before the invasion so it’s not exactly a win?

I ask for full dominance.. physicality and shooting against mid majors at all times with 7 mins to go in the 1st half. I have high standards

Well maybe for Louisville. You’re not a Kentucky fan. 18-40 has to sting. Brandless, no name, trash, unrecognized, garbage program in a dying league about to get sent back to the mid major ranks LMAO.

Losiviole begged Kentucky for a game so people would find out who they are lol. Louisville has no program without Kentucky offering a hand.

I'm curious which program it was.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Great moment for him and will be fun for him to tell his kids and grandkids about one day.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Not to mention a great NBA player for like 10 years.

Unless you're in a situation like Chandler where you are extremely invested in family values, I absolutely don't get having A girl while being a basketball player at Kentucky or another top school. I'm sure most of these guys could go to a party, point at a girl, and be rolling around with her not long after. Why would you give that up until your glory days are past and you might feel like settling down.

 

[Pidgie]

Shots like that is what makes UK Basketball special. Listen to the reaction of the crowd.........Now the story is, that he called his shot!
