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 !
THIS.
I've been to may UK games there and 2-3K UK fans would seem to be about average.
There is NO fair whistle in Memorial Gym. What a dump! It will go something like 19 fouls on us and 8 on Vandy.
Was that the one where we hit a last second shot that bounced on the rim? Forgive my ignorance, I'd just been born.
DamnMan, I wish that was going to be the case. We just don’t have that many Vandy fans thanks to years of sucking and our school’s love of liberal politics. During Covid, we lost a lot of fans who didn’t want the school politicizing things. Unfortunately, VU is a very political place and we probably lost 10-20% of our fans because of it.
We were required to show proof of vaccination to go to games (I was never going to vaccinate my kids) or we had to go to the doctor and prove we didn’t have Covid. If you hated Fauci like most of America did, Vandy pissed you off. In 2022, VU didn’t let the students even come to the Kentucky game, which drove even more VU fans off (that might have been 23, can’t remember).
Stackhouse, Derek Mason, and ridiculous political policies just totally destroyed our fanbase.
So… and this sucks to say, but I don’t think we will have more than half of the fans in our own gym. We have about 5-6,000 fans left plus students so it will be ugly.
Well, I’d love to say you suck but you’ve won more games in Kroger field the last 3 years than we have…good luck gonna be an interesting few years for college basketball.Man, I wish that was going to be the case.

That was the game. Kenny Walker’s shot seemed like it bounced 50 times. 😜
Hopefully we're better at defending. It's not always the refs.
Somehow? Am I in the twilight zone? I get that its a road SEC game but there isn't a team in the country that I don't think we could beat on a good night.
Harder now even. You all are clowns. Doom and gloom now but the next win you'll be "fans". We are fine we turned the ball over 16 times. Can't win that way.
