Not going to happen, some will complain even if they have to manufacture a reason!
There's not a point total that would stop the complainers from complaining lol
We could win by 30 and go 24-25 from the line and someone will say "you know we really needed to hit that other free throw" lol

Skal and Murray score 30 each, we win 110 to 40
But I would take a 1 point win and be happy for at least a half hour![[banana]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/1682178.gif "banana [banana]")

Some will complain no matter what, because they aren't really UK fans.
Most trolls will disappear.

If we could win in a game that we never felt like we were in jeopardy to lose and you could get Willis 5 pts and a couple boards in the process then you wouldn't here much negative.
If you could get Humphries in and he just set a couple decent screens and grabbed a board or two, happiness would be abound on the board and post game call in.

kyboy1998 makes a good point. We could win by 50 and if Willis doesnt play there will be people upset.
The people that say 1 are either the guiltiest ones that whine....or they just don't know any better.
The only point that counts is the one that goes into the left side of the dash in a win-loss column.
Very few complaints if:
1. UK wins
2. UK hits at least 40% of its threes to make the people who don't know anything about basketball feel aesthetically pleased about the "offensive flow". This will also momentarily freeze the tired 2010 West Virginia references from the paranoid fringe.
3. Skal hits at least two midrange jump shots.
4. Poythress or Willis hit a three (see #2).
5. UK hits at least 70% from the foul line.
Even if all five of these measurements are met, some neurotic elements of our fan base will still manage to complain, but most will remain quiet.

Don't know any better than......what? I really don't understand your point. So, because I will be happy with a win, and not a blow out, I am wrong? After seeing us play, the last few games, maybe you are the one who doesn't know any better.
I've learned that there will be a great gnashing of teeth no matter how much UK beats the tards. They could play a great game and win by 20 and people would bitch why didn't they do that against OSU and UCLA. Or that it was played at Rupp so it doesn't matter. Etc. etc.
Of course 1 point would do it but to be honest I feel like if our bigs have a decent game at all and we don't completely stink up the joint from 3 then we would win by 8-10. More than anything I just want to see steps in the right direction. If skal has a double double and 3 blocks and Briscoe hits 70% from the line and tyler plays like we know he can, I will be happy.
Knowing our fanbase, anything less than a 437 point victory is downright unacceptable and at least 2 people should be farrrrrred.
I'd take a 1-0 victory.
