March 21, 201412 yr If they lost in the final four they're going to be deemed over rated? To some, yes.
March 21, 201412 yr To some, yes. Yikes, tough crowd. If my team advances to the final four, even if they were the best team by a mile and somehow lost, I'd never consider that a failure. That is crazy to me.

Well, UK fans (some of them) brought any scrutiny they may receive on themselves. You can't beat your chest about being ranked #1, having the best recruiting class ever, make 40-0 shirts and not expect people to say they were over rated if they fall short.
March 21, 201412 yr If they lost in the final four they're going to be deemed over rated? To the large group of UK fans that EITHER compared then to the 2012 team, bought either the "Twinning" or 40-0 shirts, made fun of the defending National Champions over a close loses at Rupp or continually calls UL little brother, then yes. You can call this team overrated. Sometimes I hate being a UK fan and having to justify all the stupid Wildcat fan's stances.

I feel most say they are overrated whenever they lose in the tournament before the final 4. But yeah, I agree, the 40-0 shirts especially were the tipping point for being obnoxious.
March 21, 201412 yr That is true, but what is also true is Duke will never be awarded a 16 seed. I looked at all the seedings they've received since their first title in 91 and they have averaged being a 2 seed every year they've been in the tournament. Which is way too high. Duke was ranked too high this year and it showed. It's a great way to start off the weekend!!!! I do wish I was at Rupp, I do feel bad for PP92 and I'd buy him lunch today. Hate seeing good guys have to put up with yet another early exit for their team. I feel so very sorry for you, that you allow your hatred for a team that is 100's of miles away, not a rival, etc....to consume you so much. Why allow for so much negative energy to flow through your body, it's completely unhealthy and oh so telling, at the same time......it is truly a tragic scenario.
March 21, 201412 yr I feel most say they are overrated whenever they lose in the tournament before the final 4. But again, that's because everybody has to listen to UK fans tell us how great the basketball team is all the time...
March 21, 201412 yr After listening to some pundits, I wasn't very confident in this game. Duke really has some amazing talent, but very suspect guard play, and it bit them hard today. It's an upsetting loss, but not a crazy surprise. Not nearly as bad as two years ago.

It's an upsetting loss, but not a crazy surprise. Not nearly as bad as two years ago. I honestly felt the same way. Again not making excuses. I was worried a bit about this team. I was hoping that Parker and Hood would click again and just dominate the games the way they should have. They didnt. The 4 minutes in the first half with 0 FG's and the 5 minutes in the second half with 0 FG's. This happens. Oh well. Time to move on. I look forward to watching a fun NCAA tournament the rest of the way.
March 21, 201412 yr If you want to know why UK fans are the brunt of every hoops joke outside this state, this thread is spot on. Only Ohio State football fans rival you guys for the lead dog in the race for being pathetic. You don't care if UK loses, it's offset even greater by Duke losing? Your existence must be awful.
