Usually there’s one on here, and I didn’t see one. Some really good games on today

4 Tennessee @ 14 South Carolina
2 UConn @ 8 Marquette
20 Brigham Young @ 6 Iowa State

Tenn-USC is making for a great game.
1 Houston is currently down by 5 early to unranked Central Florida.

 

[Jazzycat]

UT taking care of USC at present…Knecht is a beast…

 

[bbncal02]

UT winning back to back regular seasons really REALLY pisses me off.

 

[IowaMuse]

Gosh I absolutely love this time of year.

I’ll cringe but if UT is a 1 seed or a 2 seed in any region other than UCONn I likely will have them in the FF.

UT didn't win shi$ last year.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

USC jr 4/18 from three. When Cats played there they were on fire from 3.

Can’t go wrong with Tennessee as a Final Four pick…Well, maybe for 117 straight years, but otherwise never…

The tournament hasn't been around 117 years. But your point is still correct.

 

[bbncal02]

Ah that’s right. Was the year before. My bad. Either way. 2/3 still pissed me off.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

They haven't won it since 2018. I believe. Not picking at u but auburn one in 2022.

To be fair we haven't won 6 of 7 years so I get it all running together. It's ridiculous for UK to have 1 out of 7 seasons n 1st.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

UT is tough

Might have something to do with our perimeter defense, or lack thereof.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Watching Villanova and when they are not good they still scare me.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

UT is tough

They are tough but are gonna be awfully arrogant on Saturday after beating Auburn, bama and SC 3 straight games.

Didn’t see that one

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

@gharding07 could you merge this with this thread https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/threads/wednesday-cbb-games-on-tv.407918/#post-12683744. Sorry I didn’t see the other one

 

[Neue Regel]

They didn’t win it before there was a tournament either. I guess I could have said “for all of human history.” That too would have been accurate.

MD, how would you rate this years UT squad to last? Better overall? (I’m sure the physical play hasn’t dropped off any.)

 

[sportspm]

Why is UT allowed to foul so much

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Knecht makes them more dangerous. I don’t think they are as good defensively, but overall they are an improved team from last year. I still suspect Barnes will choke somewhere around the Sweet 16.

Ugh my bad. I just can’t keep that crap together for regular seasons stuff.

Either way. It ain’t us and that irks me.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

No way USC can win this game NOPE NOT GONNA HAPPEN

Little late for reverse jinx. They are down 12 and have no idea how to score.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

UCONN Marquette should be good.

 

[crawfords corner]

LSU game has a nice pace to it so far.

 

[FiveStarCat]

41 points with 6 minutes left when you had a chance to win an SEC title. South Carolina is a pretender. Yes I know they beat us.

Do we want them to win? It helps us in the SEC AND in the NCAA Tournament seeding if South Carolina loses.

How does it help us in the SEC?

Sc will finish ahead of us n sec unless we beat UT.

I like facing an arrogant UT that had already clinched the 1 seed n sec tourney Saturday.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

If we win out and South Carolina loses @ Miss State on Saturday (which them losing is extremely possible if not likely), then we pass them in the standings and wouldn't be the 4 seed anymore, we'd be the 2 or 3 seed.

That will be one round farther than Cal can make it

We’re rolling right now. Save the negative Nancy stuff for later

I totally agree. That poster's shtick is exhausting. Hard to tell if he's a fan of Kentucky or just a hater of Cal. He is borderline clinically obsessive at this point.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I regret watching UT and SC. Boring

 

[the nail at the foul line]

South Carolina did not get fouled on that three.

Irregardless had we been playing them it would have been called.

I can't believe how much they have let them play today. Such a physical game.

Very physical. Two defensive teams battling. UK's offense has spoiled me this year.

I didn’t think he did either until the last replay. He raked him a bit on the upper arm/shoulder
