Time to remind them who’s the boss.
I saw them play Clemson in Phx... that must have been the last time
Herbert Hoover was Prez the last time UK played in Clemson.
When we leave tonight Clemson will get to live through the new Great Depression of getting their asses whipped on national television.
I remember then beating us back in the 80's. They had a good team. Tree Rollins was their big.
This game won't be a cake walk. I think if we are hitting our 3's and can stay out of foul trouble we got 'em.

This is a reason these ACC/SEC Challenges are good for the sport. You get to see teams play who rarely play each other, and on home courts. We sometimes see teams play on neutral courts in some of these early season tournaments, but it's rare to see those games played on home courts. Of course, for the visiting team it becomes a much more difficult game, so you can argue that side of it, too. I'm excited about this game. I think this particular UK team (with all its experience) is better prepared to win a game like this than many other Wildcats teams would. With all the youth of many Calipari teams, this would be a very likely loss.
Agreed, and its a great tune up road game right before at Gonzaga Sat.
Perfectly built schedule.

Seems like an All in the Family reference in there somewhere.
Kentucky has never played against Tree Rollins, who graduated from Clemson in 1977. And they didn’t play them in the 80’s either.
They did lose to Clemson in the 1979 NIT with Larry Nance, but Nance only scored 4 points in that game.
UK vs. Clemson 1979 NIT
Could've been in the late 70's. I think it was an NIT game. I'm sure he was on the team.
Yes. Both were good players. Rollins was a huge guy. Nance was really good too. That's the game I was referencing. 1979 NIT game.
Back when the POTUS change wasn't until March as FDR started up in March of 1933.
Didn't read all of the posts but near positive the last season we played Clemson was Tubby's first and we won the nati.
Time for history to repeat itself with Pope.
Anybody remember Greg Buckner?
One the best Clemson players ever. He was from Hopkinsville. Played HS ball at University Heights.

I remember when they got the best of UK back at the beginning of the 1996-1997 season. UK had Mercer and Anderson. Mohammed and Magloire weren't ready yet, and Pitino had to play Prickett at the 5 with Mercer at the 4.
Later that season Padgett joined the team after Christmas and UK took a huge step forward as Magloire and Mohammed developed more and more as the season went on.
The starting lineup for that game was:
Prickett
Mercer
Anderson
Edwards
Turner
By the end of the season it would be:
Mohammed
Padgett
Mercer
Epps
Turner

We dominated them then and we shall continue our reign under sleepy Joe/Kamala/Jill whoever is supposedly in charge right now.
