Bump

I find it hard to believe Kentucky basketball has a grad rate of 82% seeing half their team leaves after their freshman year.

Maybe they count them as grads kinda like the Manhattan coach said he graduated.

I can't stand UCONN, but Calipari mixed with the Kentucky fan base is about as bad as it gets.

The only comparable coach/program relationship that would be this insufferable and hated is if Kiffin actually fielded championship caliber teams at $C.

I dont have many vbucks anyhow but I am betting everyone I have that UK wins. I think its most likely outcome, but my reason for the bet is so I have some small silver lining if UK wins.

UCONN guards are running circles around UK.

SEC Speed.....

CBS can't wait throw up the "first lead of game" stat. They love that shit.

 

[gkIrish]

not sure if there's a combination of teams I hate more than the two that played in this game. Hope nothing like this every happens again.

Is it just me, or did anybody else want to smack the shit out of Shabazz Napier after that post-game interview? I totally understand taking the "Us against the world" stance for motivation, but when he said, "This is what happens when you ban us"...Really Shabazz??? Y'all didn't do what was needed in the classroom as a program and had to suffer the consequences...YOU were responsible for your ban, it was nobody's fault but your own...now, shut the f*ck up! *Rant Over*

I watched every minute of that game and all I can remember is the James Young dunk.

lulz j/k. Great game to watch. Sloppy at times but TONS of athleticism on display in that one.

They always say that great guard play is key in the tournament. UConn's guards--especially Napier but also Boatright--were fantastic and that was the difference.

@JayBilas: UConn's APR ban was the application of an arbitrary standard having no bearing on education. It's like measuring health solely by height.

Napier's point was that the 2007-2011 years were responsible for the ban so why should he have to suffer? So no, HE, nor this team, was solely responsible for their APR ban.

Stop being so salty.

My name is my name...and true, maybe my use of YOU was inappropriate...but as a program, UCONN didn't hold up to the same standard that all the other schools were subjected to...So while it isn't fair, that's life...USC has been using the same excuse for years in football
