I will turn 57 in less than a month. I have been a Kentucky fan my whole life and the first team I can remember well is the 75 runner-up. This is the most I have enjoyed watching the Wildcats. It seems like the players are enjoying each other other and it seems like they are appreciative to have the opportunity to play for Kentucky. They are playing for the name on the front and for Big Blue Nation. No coach since Joe Hall understands what Kentucky is about until Mark Pope became the coach. They are fun to watch and they hustle like guys wearing the Kentucky jersey should.
Funnest team I have ever watched
- Thread starter littlecreek
- Start date
I enjoy the teams that win the most. 2012, 98 and 96 for me.
This team has a long way to go to be on that level but a solid start.

I had 1990 type expectations for this team, they've already exceeded that for me. They may not win a title but they are fun to watch.
Add Fox/Monk/Bams squad for me too. One of the best we've had and it was disgusting what it took to beat them
2015 was so damn fun until it wasn't. Booker and WCS, man. Fun times.
2017 was fun as well. Fox and Monk were a joy.
2012 of course was fun.
This team is fun too.

I enjoy this team, maybe more than any Calipari team. Scrappy, great passing, two good to great point guards, a whole bunch of guys who can knock down the three.
Until it was ruined, last years team for me. Reed, reeves, and dilly. Pretty fun.
This is one of the greatest starts in UK history, especially given the circumstances. It's a long season with many tough games ahead but I feel very good about where we are right now. Mark Pope is COTY right now
sec is going to be brutal this year we have to win our games at home and continue to get better defensively also rebounding the ball .
The biggest issue to me is can we maintain our 3 point shooting throughout the season. It is the defining skill of this team. If they can maintain it they will be contenders, if not maybe not
Maybe not the funnest ever yet, but certainly the funnest in a quite awhile for me.

Yes it is. Like to see CATS to go 8-0 at Home in the SEC and hopefully go 4-4 or 3-5 On the Road.
For me it’s the calm intensity and confidence this team shows.
I saw all i needed to see when we scored 105 on an off shooting night and Butler dove on the floor for a lose ball with two minutes left with a 30 point lead.

This! Man, I love this team! Just a bunch of all out hustle veterans that know how to play the game!
I still have to put 2009, 2012, 2015 ahead (for now) and maybe a few other seasons.
The greatest part of those early Cal seasons was just the immense turn around from what we were with Tubby's last years and BCG. We went from a real no-threat to make the 2nd weekend.. to an absolute powerhouse overnight. I still have some doubts with this UK team because im sensing this roster just might not have quite the level of talent to win it all.. but those UK teams in the 2010s often gave me a feeling of "who can stop this team?".
I remember working at my local mall, and leaving on my breaks to go to one of the restaurant bars and watch us play. I couldn't believe what I was watching.

Most times we’ve had two good threats from the outside. There are a bunch more on this team. Certainly something to behold.
I like the underdog teams. 2011 and 98 were fun teams. This team kinda reminds me of them.
To me, this team is like the unforgettables part 2. It’s different because of NIL, but in 1989-90 season when we were hit with probation and all the players left except for the KY kids and Sean Woods, they pretty much resurrected UK from the ashes back to the top of college basketball.
We were heading to obscurity the last few years, every one left that played for Cal. These are the guys that want to be here.
1989-90 preseason, they said we’d be lucky to win 5 games, finished 14-14.
This team wasn’t getting much preseason respect, now probably be top 5 in next AP poll. This is a special team and hopefully they’re starting a special run, this decade, like the 89-90 team did.

Unlike some teams in the past that weren't much fun to watch.
This team is very likeable and quite fun to see play and hoop it up!
