Randy Parker Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Disappointed if Katz's information is accurate. Was really hoping for UK/UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Parker Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Weak sauce... What happened? I'm wondering if Nerlens' recruitment played a role in this, since these were the final two for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 This is a made-for-TV event, correct? I'm guessing the appeal of Kentucky/Georgetown is more national (thus better for ESPN) than Kentucky/Cincinnati, whose appeal is likely more regional.

MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 UK vs. UC would have been awesome for Greater Cincy and would have been a lot of fun for my friends and I. But let's be honest, playing Georgetown in DC is much better for Kentucky IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 How good will Georgetown be next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 How good will Georgetown be next year? Doesn't look like Andy Katz (or anyone else for that matter) has them ranked in their Top 25 preseason rankings. In fact, it looks like Cats doesn't have them in his Top 40...but he did have UC.

dolamite Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was going to be disapointed in anything other than Cuse' and UC, and I'm wanting to say Syracuse is on the road this year so that wouldn't have been possible anyway. Few good matchups left on the board for Kentucky, but UC was definitely the one I wanted to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is this the first time the two programs have played each other since that 1984 debacle in the Final Four?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is this the first time the two programs have played each other since that 1984 debacle in the Final Four??First I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Parker Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Is this the first time the two programs have played each other since that 1984 debacle in the Final Four?? First I can recall. On KSR yesterday, Ryan Lemond stated that this would be the first matchup between the two programs since UK's illustrious 1984 Final Four performance.

DragonFire Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's only the third meeting between the two teams. Besides 1984, they met in 1922. UK lost both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
