Maybe he should have them write "KILLER" across the front with a sharpie...
"Jimmy Dykes had a great line -- if these kids can't answer the bell in this kind of atmosphere, they need to go somewhere else because they don't deserve to have Kentucky across their chests."
Not so sure about that. This team reminds me quite alot of the product that UK put out for most of the past 15 or so years before Cal came onto the scene. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But it's pure tomfoolery to pretend like this isn't not only something we haven't seen out of UK in recent memory, but what we are very, very well used to. Good times. Cheers!
No way, Hedge. Only the 2nd time they've missed the NCAA since '89. But that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the lack of fight, the standing around, one-on-one, selfish basketball. That's not Kentucky basketball

"Wiltjer is the guy I'm most down on right now. Talk about not answering the call, I've seen him mouth "fuck you" to Cal twice when walking away from him during a timeout"
I've said that many times myself in Cal's direction...
"If a player said "fuck you" to Saban, I can pretty much guarantee that the player would never be seen on the field again."
Heh, depending on the player, of course. Highly doubt Saban would shitcan a first round NFL guy for an errant "fuck you". Of course, I doubt Saban would ever put that type of player in the position to really consider "fuck you" as a viable response...

That's what I was talking about, too. Kinda funny how UK fans think they've actually had a legit powerhouse program in the last dozen years before Cal got there. Believe me, nobody else did. And now Cal is fixin to get beat in the first round of the NIT. Like I said, good times...

Again, not talking about being a powerhouse. Just not a pushover. This team was a pushover

Heh... this team didn't even deserve the NIT bid. Season over. Next year's team will make everyone forget about this lazy bunch.

Yeah....fuck it....1st Rd NIT loss certainly doesn't sting like any loss in the NCAA does. The shame of simply being in the NIT numbs you to the rest

Hey Crotch, did you see the Robert Morris fans storm the court? Only lesser programs do that. But if that lesser program just whipped UK's fucking sorry aiiiissss, what does that make UK??? Same damn piece of shit program that I've been used to seeing most of my life. Welcome back, UK, to your usual status of suck ass, irregardless of what your fans believe is your real status, based on some shit wins over white boys from 100 years ago. YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!

Nah, Rat, last year's title bought him this season. But, this season sucked what should have been 2-3 years of good will. Now, he better produce next year with this "Super Class" or the heat will be on

I wonder if we're the first #1 seed to lose the first game of the NIT
Cal didn't want this team to win tonight - as crazy as that sounds I'm sure of it. Whatever is broke, he can't fix it - and to just win would prolong the season and take him away from the glory of next years team.

Goodwin just said he knows he isn't ready to go pro, and also said that no one else is on the team.
Not sure if that is going to make Cat fans happy or not? Any other time we'd be thrilled to hear a kid say he was coming back.
When the team started having problems I put it on Goodwin, but now I believe Goodwin just felt he had to carry the team because Harrow has issues - like 2 Xanax a day fetal position in a dark closet issues.
Even with us losing, Goodwin kind of redeemed himself to me over the last few games

Interesting quote from Goodwin after the game....
“I don’t think it’s a question. I don’t think I’m ready. I don’t think any of us should leave.”
