If the Gators were wearing the same dark blue/orange color scheme as those unis vs. UConn, they could have slid up on the plane in the dark and no one would have seen them. I don't know if it was the black skin offset by the contrasting colors but they were virtually impossible to see on the highlights on ESPN

That Roy can coach!

I wish he had the same success against Cal as he does against Crotch's favorite coach...

we've got a real test ahead of us with Baylor.

The SEC and Big12 play their own version of the ACC-Big10 Challenge I guess...reinforces that the SEC fucking sucks in hoops.

Kansas State beats Ole Miss
TCU beats Mississippi State (<-- horrible)
Texas beats Vanderbilt
Iowa State beats Auburn

Missouri beat West Virginia
Alabama beat Texas Tech

Still to play:
South Carolina @ Oklahoma State (ought to be a killing)
Baylor v. Kentucky (toss-up)
Kansas @ Florida (prob Kansas but could be good game)
Oklahoma v Texas A&M (OU should win)

The UK game tonight against Baylor will be interesting. Only 10K tickets were sold and due to the ice storm, a good chunk of those people had their flights canceled to the game.

Dallas ice storm.... Most flights from Lex to Dallas cancelled. Doubt there'll be many in attendance for the game. Texas officials may have to do what unc does and pipe in crowd noise..

" Texas officials may have to do what unc does and pipe in crowd noise.."

The pipes of Pan are not for sale...

fortunately for us, the ice has passed and we're getting snow now - no major issues or power outages.

just read that Baylor is giving away tickets to the game tonight now.

Speaking of games in Dallas, I got my ticket notice for the final four. I am in the nosebleed of course but I'm center court so that is about as good as I can expect from the lottery.

All drizzle here in Eastern Kentucky so far... ice line just to the west of us.

BTW, here's one of the better weather maps I've seen. http://www.lex18.com/weather/

Scroll to bottom of page when it loads. Can zoom in or out and cover the entire world for weather. Click on the black layers tab at top of map and choose temperature plots to see temps across US and world or other features. Zoom in full for google earth.

Bring it!

looks like we're not going to close this one out. Down 4 with 3 minutes left - they don't have an answer on scoring right now

Judging from Kentucky's early play, Josh Pastner might not have to move his furniture very far after all. At least he could prep for the Arizona job by coaching a team named "wildcats."

Sean Miller's team is just outstanding. Tarczewski has upped it a couple notches, too, which is a big plus. And McConnell is a good busdriver.

2 points from the bench, 50% or so free throw shooting from the entire team.

That ain't gonna get it done.

Meh, it's December. This team will resemble the 2011 Cats more than it will '10 or '12 due to lack of experienced leadership

we'll be do or die with the Harrisons.

I don't like your team's defense...at all. Unless something changes, there will be no Final Four this year for the team.
