February 12, 200719 yr UK could go to the final four. Depends on matchups and how they play. It's a tournament. If George Mason can go to the final four, so can UK this year. Strange things can happen when it's one and done. Momentum is key.
February 12, 200719 yr 18% is a percentage of people that think Duke is UK's biggest rivalry. :thumb:
February 12, 200719 yr Could someone explain the 18% to me? A few years back the Courier-Journal polled some UK fans and 18% of them said Duke was their main rival (including those that use it as ammo). The results may not lie, but I have a hard time believing that many people come close to thinking that way. For as big of an indictment as it may be to the thought process of some UK fans, I saw it as more of a slap in the face to UK's actual rival, UL. I look at more of the 18% as the people with unrealistic expectations that belive UK basketball started when Rick Pitino was hired and that 1996-1998 was an exception and not the norm.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I had saw that term used on here several times, but didn't really know what it meant.

February 12, 200719 yr The biggest factor is they don't have the talent. Perry and Thomas at the 4. Another PG who can't shoot, another who can't dribble, and Crawford who never met a shot he didn't like. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

February 12, 200719 yr 18% is a percentage of people that think Duke is UK's biggest rivalry. For some on here, anytime they disagree with you (or vice versa) they put you into the 18%.
February 12, 200719 yr For some on here, anytime they disagree with you (or vice versa) they put you into the 18%. I think its 100% of the time if you criticize ANYTHING (coach, player, administrator, facilities) UK related you're automatically moved into the 18% so that your (however valid) argument can be ignored.
