I freaking love this team. Everyone of these guys have given their all this year. Even thru injuries they have consistently performed at a high level and they love being here. This is the most Kentucky feeling team in a long long time to me. To all these Cats GL tonight, I pray Butler is ok to go sometime at least, and I hope we go on a run with who we have left. Go Cats!

Pretty much how I feel. They brought the fun back.

I will readily admit that I'm a selfish fan many times. I want UK to win for me. But I can honestly say that I am really pulling for this squad for their sake primarily. Yeah, I love this squad.
 
Agree.

This team felt like the UK basketball I grew up with.

No talk about the draft. No talk about how much money former players are making in the NBA. Coach who completely understands what this team/program means to the fans/state.

I came into the year hoping to get a 7-10 seed given the circumstances surrounding the coaching change and a late start building a roster. This bunch has overachieved mightily in my eyes. They have brought back my passion for Kentucky basketball after a few years of apathy, and I look forward to the future of this program.

Absolutely my favorite team since the 2017 Wildcats. This is the first time since that I've had any real hope for this team. It's also the first time I've been checking out other NCAA games in a very long while. The whole product was pretty much dead to me until Pope came in and revived it.

And also, Arkansas losing yesterday gave me a ptsd flashback to 2018 - 2024 and really happy we don't have to deal with that anymore
 
TEAM. FAMILY. Rejuvenating. Refreshing. Reinvigorating. Heart & Soul. GUTS, tough, hardnosed, hard lessons, (HARDKNOXVILLE! ) Blood, sweat, tears. Faith. Thrilling. Historic. Injuries. Frustration. Jobbed. Superbowls !

Overcoming adversity.

These are just some of the words that come to my mind thinking about the season so far. Glad it's not over. Sure looked like this team could tank at any point, really. Incredible season in retrospect. A throwback season for us old timers, I'd say. It felt like old times, the pre-Calipari era. Pre 2000's even .... more like the eighties to me.

I've felt closer to this team than any of Calipari's in a long time, probably since 2017, if I had to say where it ended for me with Cal. Great to have Coach Pope and move on with him at the helm here on out.

Win or lose, I'm very proud of our team. They withstood the microscope as a team, had many hard lessons none of them really understood, coming into the year, wearing a Kentucky uniform. Made me proud and I think even with the injury to Butler, we're somehow going to be ok.

This team is mentally tough, although realistically, even though Coach Pope has a most remarkable and resilient roster, sometimes there comes a point where the adversity is too much to overcome. But we are not done yet and it is not over yet.

Truly a team to love. TEAM. FAMILY. Bleeding Blue until there ain't no more blue left.

Go Big Blue !

Agreed! It’s just tough knowing what we know with all the injuries. Absolutely, 100%, a FF contender healthy. A FF contender even without Jax and Kerr. However, we could be without those two AND Lamont Butler. Just really sucks, man. 😑
 
They have exceeded expectations. The season has been better than we could have hoped to have
I want 1 win in the NCAAT just for the sake of the guys on the team. The only down side is
that it crushes me to see this team lose, in the lattr Cal years it didn't matter near this much.

Same here; it's easy to root for this team!
