Kentucky Basketball = Final Four

Featured Replies

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.

Could someone explain the 18% to me?

18% is a percentage of people that think Duke is UK's biggest rivalry.

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.

I made it up and you don't get to define it... :p

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.

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.
