Ole Amari about to learn a thing or 2 about UK basketball.

What’s your f’n beef with Williams? You’ve laughably called him an offensive liability and now you’re picking on him cause he’s not scared to go to freaking Clemson? ITS CLEMSON!!!! Your takes are becoming worse and worse.

I've heard rumors we are everyone's Superbowl, but haven't seen him yet. I've been a busy basketball benny who poops ice cream.

No they aren't but when players like Amari play road games in small conferences those games are just as big to them in their minds like as far as how important they are to the players in that circumstance. Conference championships are a big deal no matter the conference. Even big games in high school can be nerve-wracking as far as the way the players feel about them. I don't think people think about that.

Just play hard and smart and win or lose its a win for UK. From non contender to #5 is great. We will have a clunker some time this year but it's to be expected. We will have a game when no shots are falling and have games were we can't miss. I used to expect to lose tonight but it's good to think we can be good. Good luck KATS

Asked about if he’s looking forward to the first road game tomorrow and he said he guesses, it’ll be like any other road game he’s ever been in. Poor guy doesent have a clue yet lol

It will be a totally different experience for these veterans to be the hunted, versus the hunter, especially on the road.
There will be a period of baptism, if not shock and awe, until they get acclimated to it.
Hopefully, they will be very quick learners !!
GO CATS !!

Obviously u and Amari think alike lol if you’re not aware of the buzz and hype that Kentucky coming to town does to a fan base then I’m not really sure what to say to u

And if you think that fans scream any louder I don’t know what to say. Loud and deafening is loud and deafening. Me personally, I always played better in that environment.

Not being smart towards you. Ca you honestly describe that experience in a way that an EE or FF isn’t equivalent and worse? Because I’d tend to think a FF hard fought last second shot to win type game would be much more intense than freaking Clemson.

The response was in regard to Amari viewing it as just another road game. The newcomers will quickly see that Kentucky always plays to a HOSTILE crowd on the road, ESPECIALLY in conference road games. Amari, in particular, will be stepping up against tougher competition than he’s used to. He’s mature, as are the others, so I hope they all QUICKLY get used to everybody (both players and fans) getting up when Kentucky comes to town. Pope definitely knows what it’s like and I’m sure has told them what to expect. But … nothing like live fire !!

The EE and FF environments are more PRESSURE, than hostility, in my opinion.
Those are the biggest stages in CBB … with no tomorrow !!

The CAA and the SEC are not the same.

Wow. That's smaller than my high school.

I watched videos of Williams and it was barely half full.

Oh yeah. Especially after that court storming.
