This is a great draw for the Cats, mark it down they are headin to the elite 8!

I see lots of people saying this is a "winnable" game for the Cats... I can imagine a lot of Marquette fans saying the same thing for themselves. It's a pretty good matchup.

 

They are a 6 seed vs. an 11 seed... if the majority of Marquette fans didn't think this was winnable then we'd have an issue.

As soon as they put Marquette at the 6, I looked to my dad and said, here comes UK.

I am just happy to be in. I will also refrain from guessing who will win because a few years ago I was thrilled Pitt lost to Marquette so Ky would have an easier road to the final four. Then we lost 83-69. But Go Cats anyway.

I misspoke in another thread. Kentucky was a #12 seed in 1985 -- Hall's last year. They upset #5 Washington in the first round and #4 UNLV in the second round before losing to Chris Mullen and St. Johns in the infamous Kenny Walker-got-poked-in-the-eye game.

I remember that game well...I believe He was poked in the eye by the other Big named player that year/Walter Berry...That is what lead to Walker and the Bug eyed Goggles...:thumb:

I am just glad that Kentucky is in the tournament. They do have a chance at defeating Marquette. However the second round looks gloomy.

I have already said...It all depends on Joe C. and Bradley...They play good The Cats play good...

Marquette by 6

No way this is a "great" draw for UK. Even if we get by Marquette, I would expect the Lopez twins to pummel us in the second round.

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but the Cats tip off Thursday afternoon at 2:30 pm.
