Oh crap, I know someone's gonna pull out the ole', "Good point but when was UK's last Elite 8!" anytime now.

I am a UK fan and I just don't see them pulling this out. I hope they do for 2 reasons, 1. I am a UK fan and 2. I don't have Kansas in the Final Four and I know a lot of people that do in my pool. That would kill a lot of brackets.

Well, when was UK's last elite 8? Now the other shoe has fell.

2005, wasn't it the Michigan State, Patrick- Sparks- screaming -at- the- announcer - game?? When were the Jayhawks last in?

And, on a side note, do you think Billy Packer brought along his "I Hate UK" T-shirt? He would be the worst part of a UK loss to Kansas!

I just can't see the Cats matching up very well with the Jayhawks. I think Kansas wins by 15-20.

Me too. Maybe the Cats will make a shock in the tourney...but dang..Kansas looked brilliant in Round 1/.

Morris/Crawford/Bradley/Perry/Thomas show up big to avenge their humiliation last year.

 

Cats by 8.

All five of them? Has that ever happened?

All five of them? Has that ever happened?

Came close to happening in the first round of the SEC tourney against Alabama.

 

I am hoping we see a repeat of that game as the juniors for THEIR ego sake more than for the school, have a point to prove and they do it on Sunday.

Kentucky 79

Kansas 72

 

And a collective cuss word is said throughout the state by the TBers as they realize their battle is lost for the season.

When was the last time Kansas got to an elite 8?

2002 - Final Four

2003 - Championship Game (lost to Syracuse by 3)

2004 - Elite Eight

All five of them? Has that ever happened?

 

It'll take all 5 (plus Meeks and some quality time from Jasper, Woo and maybe Stevenson) to beat Kansas (assuming Kansas plays like they did in the first round.)

My heart is saying that UK will win this game. The thing is I think Kansas has too many weapons. I think UK will keep it close but come up short

Kansas 72

Kentucky 67.

 

I hope I am proven wrong on Sunday. I believe if Kentucky can win this game they will make the Final Four.

UK is ready for this, and I have confidence in this one...

:thumb:

If the same team I watched tonight shows up Sunday they have a shot. With that said I'm going with Kansas by 11 and we'll see if they can prove me wrong again...

 

Kentucky has a very tough game on Sunday. And it will be a tall order for UK to win. But as far as last night, UK shot the ball pretty poorly. Hopefully UK will shoot it better to go a long with Morris inside.

If they shoot it better outside Morris is limited inside. In the first 10 minutes last night it was bombs away and RM didn't see it much...

I agree. UK hasn't been able to find a balance all season. Either offense gets stagnant and Morris touches the ball all the time or they bomb away from the inside.

 

Also, it seems that players go on spurts but don't consistently contribute the whole game. Crawford will be quiet for 20 minutes than score 8 straight, quiet it some more and score 8 straight again to finish the night with 16. Bradley will end with 12 points but hit 3 3's in a 3-4 minute stretch at some point.

 

No balance in this offense.

Is Kansas a lot like Nova and Morris could have another field day???
