Great read. Im proud of Liggins and the way he has opened up and expanded his game this year. He has overcome a lot.

Thanks for the information Randy.

I know this is off topic; but who are the bigs UK has/are recruiting for next year?

Wow unbelievable run this year........Cats have just as good a chance as anyone to win it all. Go UK!

I was up the last 35 secs. The most I have been excited in a long time!!! I think I woke up my wife celebrating!

I rarely post; but that was one of the best games I have seen in a long time. Great job UK!!!!!!!

Does anyone know when and where the 62 girls tourny will be held this year?

Agree. There has to be something else involved.

Thanks for the help people.

Good points. Never thought of it that way. Thanks.

got ya. what if they have never played before and have very limited skills? Would it be better to put them on JV to give them some playing time, or have them rarely get in a varsity game?

What do you guys think of seniors, who have never played varsity, and or never played bassketball at all, playing JV? Since they are seniors wouldnt it benifit them so they could get more playing time? What do you guys think/

What position will Gilchrist play, and is he a 5 star, 4 star?

I agree; you cant blame the big fella for leaving, he was just such fun to watch this year I hate to see him go. But with him, Wall, and probably Patterson, I might actually start watching the NBA again.

Not really a shock.

 

Cousins gave us 100% while at UK, I have no problem with him leaving early.

There goes my last shred of hope.

Agreed. I was dreading that UK-Texas matchup. Wake will be tough though.

I like the Cats chances much better now that it is Wake rather than Texas.

My bracket is busted to pieces. Not very good picks by me this year.

Kentucky

Kansas

Villanova

Pittsburg

I have a feeling someone will make it who hasnt been talked about as much as the #1 and 2# seeds, so I put Pittsburg in there. No reason really; just taking a guess.

I think UK has a great chance to make the final four; a championship would be nice but they have a tough road. However, I cant bet against my Cats, so I pick them to win it all.

You may be right and this may be the only time in my life that I have ever cheered for UL if they end up playing Duke. IMO Duke has the easiest bracket and I just cant figure out how this happened. Kansas and Kentucky have the hardest road, and I feel that the CUSE should have been the number 3 #1. Seems like the Dukies have the road to Indy paved for them. Oh well just ranting.

It sure seems like they set them up rather nicely, but I think the Cardinals beat them.

I think we are hard on them. I mean most of them do their best, and I have handed refs their checks, and they are paid very little for what they have to put up with.

I hope it was not UK fans doing this, even though my gut tells me that there are some idiots out there that would behave in this way. The best team and season we have had in years and people bash them for losing one game.

Two things come to mind when I think about my earliest memory of getting into basketball.

First of all I remember when I was a kid, in the early 90s, pizza hut sold final four miniature basketballs. I do not remember the teams but I remember thinking how cool it was to get one of those balls.

The second thing I remember is the 92 Kentucky/Duke game. I was at a friends house and I remember his dad getting pretty upset over that one.

Very nice post. It seems that if we Elliott County fans are on here too much we are dogged for it; and now that we are not on as much we are dogged for it. Goes to show the dislike for small town schools by people who are fans of traditional powers.

It's good to hear from you Lion Mania. We are all still here, still reading BGP, and the bashing still continues, but now it's the fans. We still love our team and still stand behind them and support them. No they are not the team from last year, but they are still good as Lion Mania says. Last years team was a dream team for Elliott County and small schools everywhere. We have no Toyota Plant or Big City across the river to draw players, ours was a bunch of local country boys with dedication and love of the game. That just didn't sit too well with the "elitists" as Lion Mania states. I remember reading lots of boasting and grandstanding on many threads that didn't receive near the trashing Elliott County did. But Elliott County went to the big dance and we enjoyed every minute of it. We aren't going away, and we are still watching our team

ESPN is showing updates every now and then. That is the best I can find
