I am just so thrilled

[Fox2monk]

That we get another week to stay with this team. I love the build up to the sweet 16. We know we can beat UT as much as it will be hard to beat them 3X in one year. One more win and we can play for a spot in a final four. It’s so close I can taste it. I just love this team no matter what happens. Go win it all guys. You have nothing to lose and no pressure.

I'm glad Butler has 4 more days to heal. Same with Williams.

If we're healthy, we should be able to handle the burnt orange.

I love this team man. They all play for Kentucky and love being here. Does Amari and garrison make me want to pull my hair out, for sure they do. But this team is just so fun and easy to root for. I’m gonna enjoy every bit of this week leading up to Friday.

For as many plays as they miss, they come right back and make another to redeem themselves. Story of our team. No quit.

I think they love being together as much as we love them being together.

Happy we play Friday and not Thursday. I get at least one night of sweet sixteen fun before my nerves are shot for all of Friday.

Butler has moved into my top 5 players to ever play here

If basketball gets me to baseball I'm a happy man. Lets keep it up! Lets strike out the Vols and make it even sweeter!

I don’t know if he’s top 5, but he’s by far my favorite on this team. Really wish he could have experienced, and we could have seen, an injury free senior year.

Im so drunk going through all my tiktoks of all them biotchs telling me the SEC was overrated and Kentucky had no chance.😁

 

[wildcatwelder]

Agree OP, and I'm also just so damn PROUD of this team and all the injuries they've had to work around.

And man, I love Coach Pope. He has the whole package and we are in for a great ride with him at the helm of the KENTUCKY BASKETBALL Ship!!!!






BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To broadly paraphrase one of the world's great philosophers, Tennessee orange ain't burnt orange. Burnt orange is that kind of orange you can sit with. Tennessee orange is that inside of a pumpkin puke orange. And I don't like pumpkins.

Or something like that.

Its been a long time since I was excited for the second week of the tournament. I thought the Sweet 16 was our ceiling earlier this season, but if we can get 10 points a night from Butler and 6-8 points from Chandler from here on out we could get to FF.

We have 2 more weeks left with this team since we have 4 games left in the season.

Tennessee has to be hating their draw. Even if they beat us, they potentially face Purdue who has sent them home twice the last few years.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Seen a couple guys on TikTok crying about the officiating mainly BG flying past the 3 pt shooter no foul. Dude if I'm an Illinois fan I don't mention the officiating. Illinois had 1 foul forever in the 2nd half, what was it 12mins?

Crybaby biotches!

The crying Underwoods are taking their short drive home.

They low down, they dirty, and they some snitches too.

I sure hope so! LFG

 

[BC_Wader]

Nobody giving us any respect. On the March Madness 360 show, they talked in depth about all the games today. We were the last game they talked about and it was a short synopsis. We're a 4.5 point underdog. I like this position of disrespect. Let's go beat UT again and make the Elite 8.

 

[wkycatfan]

It's an easy team to root for IMO. This team reflects its Coach.

Special season for sure. This is one of those
teams that live forever because of what they’ve accomplished and restored for the fan base. Been a joy to watch it with you all. Especially after the lows we’ve all rode out together the past couple years.

Here’s how I feel

THIS IS KENTUCKY!!!!!!!

 

[saxonburgcat]

I admit that I was unbelievably nervous last night so much so that I watched the game delayed by about 5 minutes. I had the actual score on one screen and the game on the other screen. This was the game I personally wanted the most to vindicate hiring our coach and shut up the fans saying, "He has never won a tournament game." We are in the Sweet 16, baby!

From here on, it is icing on the cake. Thank-you Coach and players!

 

[MegaBlue05]

I watched the game with my wife and another couple. The guy in the other couple is my old college roommate. We have been watching the Cats together for 25 years. Last year we watched us lose to Oakland under this very roof and sat in stunned silence for several minutes after it was over.

This year, we hugged after it was over and started talking about the things that happened in our lives since 2019. We were both so proud of our team and coaching staff.

And I have to add, following the era of Shady Sharpe and mystery injuries where the coach “hasn’t seen him,” watching a kid like Lamont Butler go out there and play his ass off on one arm because he wants to be out there with his teammates shows me this program is in good hands moving forward.
