Cleveland State (3-1) at (3) Kentucky (4-0)

John..poster #74...You are a moron. Typical UK fan. So you know UK has 7 NCAA titles and the most wins.....and? What else? You are one of those fans that only comes out when UK has a "chance" to be good. You hear grandma and grandpa say, "UK's gonna be good this year" and you suddenly jump out of the closet wearing blue. Everyone knows UK's tradition...why repeat it? Oh, and it's HEELS, not HEALS.

I have defended UK so far, but I am starting to wander. Another sub-performance from UK. Yes they are 6-0, but could easily be 4-2. many concerns.....no depth...no reliable 3pt shot(or threat)...perimeter defense. Don't be confused by CSU or Stanfords' shooting %'s...Alot of those misses were wide open opportunities. My wife is a huge Cat fan and I have told her, when the competition is equal to or better than that of UK"s....be weary. I can only assume Cal will fix the problems an if so, he'd better hurry. UNC, Uconn and a trip to Bloomington loom for the Cats. All three before mentioned teams will be better than anyone UK has faced to date. IU game will be very curious. All those frosh in a very hostile eviroment(first time).....it will be interesting.

It's just part of the most crooked CROOKED COACH AND BOOSTER CLUB in the USA. Everywhere Calapari move on to he leaves a crooked trail you the new coach to resove. IT WILL CATCH UP WITH HIM AND OUT HE WILL GO. KY WILL NOT LET HIM GO BECAUSE THEY TOO ARE CROOKED. IT WILL HAVE TO BE THE NCAA!

I wonder if that's joe b halls kid??

I cant wait for they first lose to come ya'lls way, just to here the pathetic excuses we will here...Uh, just have many road games have you played and what talent level have you played to make the NC title all wrapped up?? LOOK out Ukers, there is a freight train heading your way! Oh yea, we so like, envy your past(lose in NIT last yea) and gosh we certainly FEAR your FUTURE(POST THAT IS) HAHA

You friggin Ukers are pretty damn funny! Even though you dont intend to be. JAMIE i know Donovan never coached UK. DUH, read the previous post where all you Ukers were trashing Donovan and giving praise that he WOULDNT consider the UK....But now you have
THE MESSIAH! HANG DEM BANNERS BOYZ

Thank you SHARON.You see things pretty clearly.

#49 Yes I think you do Hate UK, But Thats OK..Because I hate all the ACC LOL!!! BTW..The CATS have taken 10 years off..and the best that PUKE and UNC could do is have 8 titles combined..Sad...And poor old coach K, been at Puke for 30 Years and only has 3....I noticed the pukies hit 18 threes..I love it, another live by the 3 die by the 3 season for Puke..LOL...I will say this R. WILLIAMS is BY FAR a better Coach than K..Maybe MY CATS won't win it this year or next, but the vacation is over...You guys had 5 years of UK dropping 10 games a year and you just couldn't run off with It...If Cal is here 1,2,3,4 years doesn't Matter Our PRES. and AD has learned a valuable lesson. You don't Hire a DRUNK......GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

RT #57 SEC is better than the PAC 10, and the ACC and Big 12 aren't really that much better than the SEC this year top to bottom. Look at all the results from interconference games between the major conferences so far this year. The Big EAST is in a class of it's own and the Big 10 is solid this year... there isn't much to choose between the other conferences this year. Saying that the SEC is "by far the worst major conference" is an erroneous statement which just doesn't jive with reality. The SEC will likely see 5 NCAA tournament teams this year, and that will be inline with what the ACC and Big 12 put in.

To post #40, Bobby B., Yes Adolph Rupp was absolutely a racist. But so were many coach's of that era of NCAA basketball. It's just that Rupp's was more publicly and nationally scrutinized than other coach's of the day. That'll happen when all you do is win, and you're coaching one of the best college program's in the game.

For all those talking sh_t about Kentucky basketball, let's set the record straight. Really only UCLA has the right to talk smack, because they're the only one's with more national titles than Kentucky. And as for the Tar Heal fan's, you're still #2 on all time win's behind who? Oh yeah, Kentucky. North Carolina is going to get to 2000 all time win's very soon. But behind who, oh yeah Kentucky. So Heal fan's , Dukey fan's, whoever, when you've hung 7 banner's, going on 8, came back and talk smack. Until then, I'll only take it from the Bruin's fan's.

so call people like patrick c and roger v talk with their mouth full of chit lol and still dont know the game is played on the floor you will see your tar babies and the cats play pretty soon may the best team win you chit mouths lol

#62... What's more pathetic?
A. Getting excited about your team after a few down years.
B. Going to another team's page just to badmouth that team.

Kentucky is extremely talented, but youth still worries me when it comes down to the National Championship. They'll be a very dangerous team for anybody though, and i'm predicting a Final Four appearance, and perhaps an appearance in the Championship if they mature quickly. If Carmelo & McNamara can do it, then I hold out hope that Wall & Cousins (and company) can do it.

I read a lot of stories on this site from al sorts of teams all over pro & college sports. Never do I see the amount of negative posts from people just popping in to hate on that team. I take that as a compliment, so you guys continue to make my day :)

By the way, who gives a rip about how strong a conference is in college basketball. In the end it's just the NCAA tournament that matters, so it's every man for himself anyway. Besides, the SEC has never been known for being a strong basketball conference, other than UK and Florida and maybe Vandy some years ago. The SEC has always been a football conference. That's why you don't hear fans of SEC basketball teams even talk about the conference as a whole.

Actually, roger V, Billy Donovan has never been a head coach at UK...he would be Florida's coach, if I'm not mistaken. Rick Pitino left on his own to coach the Celtics, then came back to UL, so no trashing there, either. Most of us wish he'd stayed. As far as Billy G, when a coach has a team with the talent that he had last year and they don't get into the NCAA tournament, THEN get beaten early in the NIT to boot, PLUS not wanting to relate to the UK fans or the media at all, he can expect to get the boot fairly quickly. UK would have been better off keeping Tubby than getting Gillespie. Tubby's problem was after a while he sort of let up on recruiting. That would be the reason that he only won one national championship, the one he got in his first year with a team full of Rick P's recruits.

#48, I think the word you're looking for is bafoons. That's funny when you can't even spell the word you're trying to use to make fun of people. Yo're stoopit!

"We’re aggressive and defend really hard and when you start getting those fouls you have to let up on how hard and physical you play a team. If they would have just gotten out of the way and let that game be played—and I won’t tell you who needed to get out of the way— the game could have been interesting. I don’t know if we would have won, but I thought we could have played much better. I think we could have stayed in that game if we had been allowed to play our defense the way we do.”- Coach Gary Waters

Are you kidding me? So basically if they didn't call any of the numerous fouls your team committed then you would have played better? Too bad fouls are a part of basketball coach Waters. I would think by now you would have realized that being a head coach and all. While we are eliminating fouls lets go ahead and just eliminate the refs all together so that your team has some chance of winning.....wait even that won't help. Perhaps if the other team just doesn't show up?

Thats what I've heard about liggins. a little doobie rolling. i haven't heard that about Dodson though. He was supposed to have been a good kid. Maybe all of the intelligent, well thought about ramblings of Roger V below got to him and he needed to relax. Seriously Roger V. Either stop being a moron or go jump off a bridge. Or at least say something that has a hint of rational to hit.

"Durrr, caliamari sells crack. Durrrr Ashley Judds a crack whore Durrrrr I live in my mamas basement Durrrr" - Roger V

#63 Patrick, there is no way you're 25 years old like your profile says. If that is your real age then I pity you, sir.

I can understand some of the trash talk and chest thumping about conferences. It's just a pride thing. But with NCAA basketball it is basically irrelevant. In the end, basketball has a great tournament that decides who is the national champ. And that champ is a individual team/school not the conference. So other than bragging rights and money for the conferences, it doesn't matter how many teams from "your" conference make it to the tournament. It's only the insane football championship set up that warrants the discussion about strength of conference.

Heard that Liggins and Dodson failed drug tests... Just heard that, im not saying its fact just something I heard..

Glad to see some of you kentuckians can actually read and write. UK wont get a NCAA title this year. UK has too many young players as talented as they may be, it still doesnt matter. I am not a Kansas fan but they are favorites to win and they probably will. Teams like Villanova, Texas, and Mich St will be the other final four teams. Wall will be gone next year and probably Cousins and Patterson as well. You don't honestly think Cousins could make it through college level classes for more than one year do you? In the meantime, hope all the UK fans have fun thinking UK is a serious title contender and having intercourse with their sisters.

#40They get like that.Its pretty pathetic really.When Calipari doesnt come through and leaves for the Knicks,they will settle down.

Well I love how you guys just talk about which is better acc, big east, or whoever just remeber who has the best team and the winnest team in college basketball University of Kentucky!

Go cats
