A little nervous. Took a 4 mile walk in a snowstorm, that helped a little. As did Mary Jane.

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Going to need a really good defensive effort from all players today. We can do it though. Let's go CATS!!!

 

[bbncal02]

Father, we need a bit of blue joy in this Commonwealth. A Kentucky win today would be great. They've gone through so much adversity.

GBB! Lets get this W

 

[the dopester]

Choosing to approach this positively and stay that way. We got this. We’ve beaten better. Let’s go!

 

[LmdCat]

We haven't been to a sweet sixteen in 6 years, so why are you feeling pressure? I hope our players who have to play the game have better control of their emotions than some of the fans.

 

[BC_Wader]

GO BIG BLUE!!!

 

[OneSpeedyBoi96]

I'm nervous too like a lot of you are, but remember anything can happen in March, and we've beaten teams we shouldn't have already this year.

 

[runt#69]

WE ARE THE UNDERDOG AGAIN

Go Big Blue !

 

[bbncal02]

It’s tough to disconnect that. Taken me years and I still suck at it. All I know is it will be fine. I’ll still be a fan. We’ll still have a team and a chance. I’m proud of how Pope & Co performed outside of some bad losses, but to think we’d even be in this position after a massive program change - I’m pretty happy about it. GBB!

This. Just gonna be a sucktastic week in the media if we get bounced today. UT and Arky fans will be horribly obnoxious and loud.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Go Cats!!

Then you do what I do and just turn it off/tune it out until it's over.

Yep and I will. Anytime we get bounced I take a week off from here and other sports discussions. Hurts a bit too much.

 

[onearmedjesus]

S!

CATS! CATS! CATS!

 

[zannmann]

We beat Duke and UT, so we can beat Illinois.

 

[bbncal02]

ugh....my stomach. I don't have enough meds for this today. lol

 

[mrjuk]

Just glad he/family did not want us.

 

[ThunderMash]

Kentucky basketball needs a deep tournament run. It's been too long! Go Cats!!

 

[BC_Wader]

I don't really feel anything. Just want the game to start.

 

[Bkocats]

I’m a nervous wreck right now
I want to win so badly I can’t look at this philosophically .

Comfortably numb?

Meaning I don't have nervousness or anxiety about what the outcome may be. I think we'll win but not the end of all things if we don't. The future is bright.

Yeah. J/K. I’m the same. I’ll root like hell. Get up. Down maybe. But I’m not nervous. Enjoying the process.
