If you had told me an hour ago I’d be rooting for John Calipari…

[southvillecat]

I’m rooting for a sinkhole

 

[bigbluedon]

Cal sucks and I hope he loses every game until he retires.

 

[ORCAT10]

Got Rupp from Kansas.
Rooting for Jayhawks over Pigs.

 

[UKSanders]

The amount of BBN pulling for effing Kansas is disgusting.

They are a rival blue blood and a cheating ass program. Never, and I MEAN NEVER will I pull for Kansas. EVER.

I am not pulling for Kansas as much as I am pulling against Cal. That won't always be the case, but this year, absolutely.

Would it be better if I told you my preference would've been for both of them to tank enough that they would've missed the tournament altogether?

 

[pauled]

Me, too, Dan ! I join you with a fervent hope that Calipai loses every game, forever !

Yeah I hope Cal continues his one and out in the tournament this season! I liked Cal for a long time and he was the right guy for a long time! But he sure turned a lot of our fan base against him the past 4-5 years! I don’t wish anything good on Arkansas!

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

So fland is supposed to be available....If he's 100 percent, I could see arkansas beating kansas.

Boy, you haven’t been paying attention have you?

As long as Cal is the Arkansas coach I hope they lose every game. Let’s just say I hope Arkansas runs out of time.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

If Cal beats Kansas (worst KU team I can remember in a while) and St Johns (he’s had pitinos number), he’ll be unbearable

 

[Ky-troutbum]

A lot of y’all’s Hate for Cal is greater than your love for UK!
Go Cats! And I hope the cheating kansas woman abusers lose every game they play!!
Plus they are closest to us in all time wins.

 

[Wildskatfan]

I’ll give the committee one thing, they still definitely hate Cal but atleast they gave him a spot they didn’t deserve.

Now he’s gotta beat self and pitino back to back 😂

I honestly think they beat Kansas. They getting Boogie Fland back and may have Thiero.
Kansas sucks and can't close out games.
After that, Patino will be feasting on BBQ pork sammiches.

 

[Wildskatfan]

You will seriously be rooting for Kansas?
Some of ya'll need help for your Cal derangement syndrome.
We don't want Kansas to get any more wins and we know Cal will het roasted by Patino

 

[ManitouDan]

I’m not for sure the OP ever stopped . ?

 

[VAWildcat15]

It’s crazy that anyone on here doesn’t prefer Arkansas. We have a great chance to add some buffer to our wins lead over Kansas. Arkansas is not a title threat. What’s the problem if they get one first round win? It’s good for Kentucky.

Screw that, 🐄 has owned Pitino for years. 🐄 lost in the first round for us for the last 2 years. I want it to continue for the rest of his career.
Can't take a chance he wins multiple games.

 

[Soupbean]

Yes, I'll be cheering for Arkansas in round one.

Then Pitino can bludgeon the Hogs to death in round 2.

Everybody wins in this equation.

Don’t believe anyone will bludgeon then cause they’ve got a decent squad. With Fland Back I think they could make a run,.
But may be bad matchup with KU and Dickerson as he can back down Z or anyone else at the rim. I know they beat ‘em early in preseason but Self will feed it down low and make it hard on them.

One could become 2 fugg that.

I think Fland coming back will ruin their mojo.

All depends on how Arkansas and Kansas shoot. Arkansas shoots well outside they win, if Kansas does they win.

 

[VAWildcat15]

One could become 2 fugg that.

One could become two for Kansas and then, maybe more. If they go on a deep run and we don’t our wins lead gets very uncomfortable.

But sure, let the guy who won a title here (and gave us exactly what we wanted by leaving voluntarily) be a bigger villain than the only team that’s capable of taking our wins lead away. That seems rational.

 

[AshWilliams]

Nope , never for me . I hope cal loses every game forever .

THIS.

 

[yoshukai]

So fland is supposed to be available....If he's 100 percent, I could see arkansas beating kansas.

They started improving the very first game they played without him . They would have never made the tournament if he had stayed healthy.

 

[yoshukai]

I can handle one Kansas win. I very much want Cal to keep losing in the first round, forever.

Yep , Cal has lost 10 of his last 13 post season games. I want 11 out of 14 .

 

[screwduke1]

Better careful. Cal has been Rick’s boogeyman

True but this ain't the same Cal nowadays that would beat Pitino.

 

[yoshukai]

First time I’ve ever said this but Rock Chalk Jayhawk. I would love to see Cal lose in the first round with all our former players.

Not my first time. I was Rock Chalk Jayhawk early in the season when they beat Duke .

I don't think he is some major villain, but he was a smug, arrogant jerk to fanbase over the last few years ALL WHILE underachieving in major ways.

So, as I stated before, maybe not long term. However, for this year... I am absolutely pulling against Cal.

As for Kansas, if Pope & Co. make it to the S16, and KU loses in the 2nd round to SJU, then UK still gets a net gain on the Jayhawks. If that happens AND Cal gets to lose in the first round... again. Win, Win

I mean yeah, if Kansas wins I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. I’ll even laugh about it, it would be funny. But I still prefer gaining wins over Kansas, as many as possible. That’s the bigger long term plus for Kentucky. Cal losing doesn’t really benefit us beyond our own amusement.

 

[Kuhldaddy]

I want hog fans to feel the pain of losing in the 1st round

 

[JimboBBN]

Meh. If this was in the later rounds I’d pull for Arkansas. But Kansas isn’t doing shit this year. So I hope they clap some piggie cheeks

 

[ftp000]

I haven't done my brackets yet, but Arkansas might be the one SEC team that doesn't advance. Not a great shooting team. And there's the snake bit Cal thing going on.

 

[GermantownDawg]

So fland is supposed to be available....If he's 100 percent, I could see arkansas beating kansas.

They can beat KU without Fland. Is Thiero playing?

 

[chevyman 50]

I am not pulling for either of them.

Believing that 🐄 left voluntarily is certainly not rational.
Cheer for whom you wish.
Being overly concerned about the wins lead is a waste of time.
They passed us once [thanks to 🐄].

 

[Pharmboy007]

I wish they could both lose. But with that said, Cal hasn't won a first round game for awhile. And I'd like to see that streak continue.

With that said, he has been losing to "no name" teams, and it will be much easier to get up for KU,I'm afraid.

GO CATS

 

[Fox2monk]

Not sure

 

[MasonCoBlue]

Wooooo Piiiig Sweaty Suzzy! Ha Just one game though.

He won one literally 2 years ago.

I'm not rooting for either team but I think KU wins. No Thiero for ark and bringing back fland at this point is high risk to me.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

I got a idea.. If Arkansas is leading late someone pull the fire alarm. By the time the game resumes Cal would have found a way to lose.

 

[EliteBlue]

I am not pulling for Kansas as much as I am pulling against Cal. That won't always be the case, but this year, absolutely.

Would it be better if I told you my preference would've been for both of them to tank enough that they would've missed the tournament altogether?

Arkansas would have without them getting to shoot 30+ freethrows in almost every game down the stretch of the regular season
