I know this weekends game versus Vandy has been announced as a sellout. How many thousand of the sellout crowd should we expect to be represented by BBN?I am thinking and hoping for at least a couple of thousand. Does this sound about right. Should be a tough game but I think and am hopeful for something like an 85-75 UK win.
What say you some of our other BBN fans?
 
Hopefully BLUE "gets in" & shows up once again, in Nashville.

I grew up just an hour from Nashville, but in KY.
 
Saw my first UK basketball game in that place -

1984 SEC tournament !
Love it ! I was there too. I will never forget that title game when Charles Barkley sat so dejectedly and wept on the court after they lost. It was an epic struggle. Kenny Sky Walker to the rescue !

I had met Sir Charles ( man, my dad was so connected.... he knew so many players and coaches for ALL the teams) and it was a shock to meet Charles when he actually came up to our hotel room to say hi to us cant remember which year that was though... We were staying in the same hotel the Auburn team was, and when I opened our door, there stood Charles Barkley !

Man, what a memory !

After that game in 84', I found him after that game and hugged him and wished him the best. But I will never forget him sitting there, inconsolable after that game.

I've been to may UK games there and 2-3K UK fans would seem to be about average.
 
I will be there. My brother was supposed to go with me but he bailed. thankfully my kentucky fan co-worker is going with me now. I live in Nashville area, and go to this game every year for last 10 years lol.
 
If we lose tomorrow, it might spell trouble for us.

Great chance we lose the following Tuesday @ Tenn, and suddenly our 3-1 start in league play has turned into a 3-4 record heading into February. That would be pretty much a disaster. That's why losing that Alabama game was so costly.

Have to pull this one out on Saturday somehow.

I'd be surprised if there weren't at least 3,000-4,000 UK fans and maybe more. There was a ton of orange in memorial last weekend and I expect the same for blue this weekend.

Great team - should have had a national title

I THINK Turpin set or tied a SEC tournament scoring record in that first round game 42 points?

(Against UGA or Ole Miss)

Awesome you were there too!!
