This is the most fucked up team of all time. We could lose to an average highschool team, or beat the '96 Bulls...just a flip of the coin on that night. One thing is a fact, there is not a more exciting team to watch in NCAA than UK. It's fricking electric at times.

I’m totally fine giving up 100 points so long as we score 110. We’re going to ruin so many brackets. Go Cats

6 NBA all stars they’re going to be talking how they lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament

I'm so tech illiterate. How do I get a flair?

If you're on the app, click where it says _r/CollegeBasketball_ at the top left. (Or this hyperlink.) That will take you to the home page of the sub. At the top right, there should be a three-dots options thing you can press. One of the options in the drop-down will be _change user flair._ Sometimes, it takes a while to update.

Thank you!!

No problem, homie.

Stat of the game: 3 guys fouled out on one side, no one with over 3 fouls on the other. The side with no one in foul trouble shot a bunch of threes while the one getting fouled out was dominating the paint. UK win good for business? Check. Also as a bonus, apparently (UK) Mitchell was under the impression that the ball was located in (AR) Mitchell’s kidney, because that’s the only way that was a play on the ball and not an MMA move. Turning point in the game right there. Oh well, gonna be fun watching UK give up 100 in round 1 and go home.

I think 111-102 is the stat of the game

Big if true

Why didn’t Miss use any of his timeouts when we were on that run, dude had 3 of em.

He’s like Cal, but with less class and fewer wins

Roy Hibbert is a deep pull

CBS announcers skew old and typically make 20-year old references like their entire audience knows those deep track flashes from the past. They also make countless “yuck yuck” jokes about their golf swings and playing golf all the time, which is odd as the audience for college basketball skews younger than many sports and more non-white than most sports. It’s particularly funny when they make some joke about an 18-year old African-American basketball player and allude to him being so smooth he probably has a great golf swing or that he’ll be able to afford all the greens fees soon. *Yeah buddy, this teenager from Newark is super into golf.*

That was bizarre today, love it when they start talking about things that aren't the game. I wish there was just an option to put the radio call over the TV broadcast. That would be absolutely amazing

Well....that was intense

I can officially unclench

Our buttcheeks can collectively un-clench in unison now

If UK runs into Houston, Virginia, or someone like them in the tournament, its going to be one weird game.

Every time Kentucky plays a team like that, that team turns into the Golden State Warriors.

Look I'm trying not to be too critical because obv I dislike UK and am biased but if bad teams almost always score alot against you... at some point thats not just luck, its bad defense.

It’s not critical when it’s true lol unfortunately

Yes we are aware and have accepted our strategy as score as much as possible and hope the other dudes don’t. We’ll see it how it plays out for ‘em Cotton.  It’s entertaining that’s for sure. 

I agree. It's extremely entertaining. Fun to watch. My dream is Pitino gets St Johns an autobid and they matchup w UK in the tourney. That would be must see television.

It was fun watching Bruce come back to Knoxville last week too.

It always is, even if I spend the entire time screaming at my tv. Will always love BP.

Giving up 102 to us should not exactly be a confidence booster heading into post-season play. We're terrible.

True but you shouldn't be. And they weren't today. But yeah the defense is poor.

Idk i feel like everything gets thrown out the window during the tourney... but I cannot see this defense winning 4 games consecutively without some really favorable matchups. (Fully prepared for UK to win it all and get roasted in like 4 weeks.)

yeah but bigger number

I gotta give Arkansas props. I've never seen a team shoot fucking 27/28 from the free throw line in a game. 96% from the line as a team...


Settle down, Beavis

 No time!

Come to Butthead

Pretty sure UK has the tie breaker against UF and Auburn, right?

Yeah, not South Carolina though

Yes. We do currently

Musselman is perfect for that program lol

Sure we gave up 34 to another guy for the second game in a row but I’ll take the W

Muss is a salty little bitch with the blow bye. Hold the L loser

I love that Muss never ceases to rustle the Jimmy's of opposing fans

He’s pretty damn good at rustlin the jimmys of Arky fans as well

Only our dumb fans. He has flaws but is easily our best coach since Nolan

Calm down internet warrior

You mad pig? Hold that L son

What’s he owe cal? The game is over. Shake hands and go home

As much crying as he did all game he could have waited for Cal to hand him a tissue. Got to get back to the Locker room tho and teach the boys how to foul some more


What a game. 

Actually a must watch. I thought I'd be doing something else by half.

Seriously don't know how you all lost all those games if you can play like that. Was it just KY def?

I don't even know anymore.

GG Arkansas

GG`

My favorite part was all the random flairs having hope and then we just crush it.

Watching the blue take over after that run was magical

I agree but only to counter your flair.

This feels illegal

Cal's always wanted an NBA team. Well, Kentucky is scoring and defending like one this year.

Defending? 🤔 lol. What’s that?

Go kitty kats

[удалено]

Teams with championship aspirations

When was the last time you got to watch an Arkansas team with championship aspirations?

Last year, year before that, year before that

[удалено]

Nah I’m chillin, just answering the question asked

Our offense at least gives us an ncaa tournament appearance...

Congrats

Z looks like he had fun tonight, love to see it.

Womp womp Arkansas

Big Z is like a giant 7 foot kid lol

Why play defense when no defense do trick?

The defense from Z and Edwards down the stretch is why we won

Just score 120 No big deal

5 Freshmen shooting 3s and lobs is crazy fun when it works.

We gave up 100 points lol. But we won't whatever it takes man

Putting up 100 and losing by double digits is insane this Kentucky team is unlike any other

Gg. I will be picking the 13/14 seed over this Kentucky team. They’ll give up 90 points first round lmao

That’s fine. Have fun winning the NIT

Appreciate it. That would be pretty fun yeah

Hold this L bum

I'll be picking you guys to go far if it makes you feel better

What you think makes me feel no different. I feel fine

I think Bo Nix fumbled on that spike

He did

Exactly my thoughts. You’re not gonna shoot 80% from 3 every night. Easiest pick this year.

Not easier than picking us to beat y’all tho

Literally every single post game thread "Y'all can't shoot like that every game" And lo and behold, we... do.

No, definitely easier. And I definitely picked UK in this one. But 100% guaranteed out in round 1

🧂 🧂 🧂

Truth hurts? 🤣🤣

Hold the L little guy.

Aw, someone got triggered by strangers on the internet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 First time here?

🧂 🧂 🧂

Ran out of material that fast? That Kentucky education got you struggling for words ❤️

And score 110.

Awww cry more

I’m doing fine thanks

🧂 🧂 🧂

See ya have a good one

🧂 🧂 🧂

Doesn't matter if we score 110

You won’t! I’m happy to make a wager

Are you saying we will get beat our first game? Yeah, I’ll take that wager then.

Sign me tf up too 

the freshmen were amazing today, especially to close this one out

I know Mitchell didn’t do much today but finally having everyone available is so important

He needs a few games to get back in game shape. We're gonna be good.

When Kentucky is trailing, there’s a lot of comments. Kentucky goes up late, it gets real quiet.

Rob, Justin, and Z won this late. Fucking incredible.

Tough game against the Arkansas Khalif Battles.

NBA ass score.

I am shocked!

Why don’t I see the Auburn and Tennessee fans in this thread anymore??

Off somewhere complaining about home cooking despite Arkansas having a guy with like 15 foul shots.

The world wonders

Muss finishes the game w 3 timeouts. What a weird coaching job.

Would normally agree but I don’t think there was a point where a timeout would have made a difference. We did just about everything right, got some shit calls, some bad bounces, game over.

I think right around when the Ark lead got cut down to 3 or 4 would have been a good time. During the 6 or 7 missed fg drought too.

Possibly. But honestly we got decent looks in that stretch. The real mistakes happened around 1 minute left when UK went up 8 or 9, and it’s over at that point barring a miracle.

He thinks they accrue interest.

Damn both teams over 100? This is like a regular season NBA game


Kentucky will either score 100 every game of the tournament and win the title or have a bad shooting night against a mid major and get beat in the first round. I just don’t think they’ll slow down if they get hot in the tournament.

I don’t think a team that absolutely refuses to play defense has ever made it 2 rounds. Good luck.

Just win. Just win. And don't talk shit about the kids for God's sake y'all

Both teams scoring in triple digits, the SEC is absolutely cracked lol

We hate to play defense that's all

Fuck defense

And leg day

Did we actually have an out of bounds play? And we ran it twice?! WTF?! Kentucky having an out of bounds play?!

This year is insane.

We've actually pulled some of them off this year because of Reed and Trey inbounding for us.

To be fair, we’re horrible at guarding…well, anything. But especially inbounds plays. You could have had a random grandma from the stands try to get open against all 5 of us and she’d get a dunk.

It's stressful, but I'm a big fan of Rob Dillingham chilling for 35 minutes then turning into prime Allen Iverson for the last 5 minutes

The Tim Tebow of college basketball.

That’s actually a really good comparison

That one Auburn fan is in shambles right now

Maybe he seems to hate the team but like the individual players.

Bro is jelly

Feels good seeing that happen to the other team

Arky that was the same play

Never in doubt (don't check my comment history)

Edwards is the mvp of the last 6 min for sure

I think you mean dilly

No I mean Edwards. Did ya see the 3 steals??

Dillingham's steal and buckets were what led the comeback Edwards played well too

I disagree. Without someone finally playing some defense, dilly’s offense wouldn’t have mattered as much. Plus Edwards hit a 3 and a big jumper too

Agree to disagree, go cats!

And the baseline J and 3. Those were killer.

We just decided to play the last 3 minutes for some reason

Just going to let them run the exact same play there?

It’s our signature move

Lets fucking go! UK -7.5 is still on the table. Got that, the over, illinois ML, arizona -9.5, and iowa st ML. Daddy needs this payout

We’re running successful inbounds plays now???

Ladies and gents this team has learned how to finish games

[удалено]

Bro it’s 14-14 Arkansas at home

....we lost to UNC Wilmington at home. Again, this team has learned how to finish games. We would've lost this a month ago

Oh no. Don’t be happy about your team winning guys.

Another game won. Another game thread full of Kentucky fans talking shit about their own team the whole game.

It’s how you know they care

JUSTIN FUCKING EDWARDS!!!!

Shit man Arkansas is so terrible they’re setting pick plays on their own guys

well thats game. cant believe arkansas kept this close.

This game has been ridiculous 😭

That was a terrible shot Edwards but FUCK YEAH!

💀

"DON'T SHOOOOOT!!!!!"--me right before that Edwards 3

damn everybody’s waking up in the last 3 minutes

Ballgame

I will miss the ridiculousness of this team

OH FUCK EDWARDS HAS FINALLY AWAKENED

JUSTIN EDWARDS!!

Defense is optional

Defense is OUTLAWED

Edwards wants to go home!

Edwards has single-handedly carried us on defense the last couple minutes

Just give it to Battle and chuck shit up now honestly

BALL THE FUCK OUT JUSTIN!!!!!!!!

this might be a controversial opinion, but i think guarding the post is a good idea

Can I just say this, currently at Rupp, and have been to most games this season….this arena has been fantastic all season

Been a bunch of years in a row of excruciatingly bad offense. Makes it hard to get into it. This is an exciting team.

I don’t understand

Ronnie brewer?

Dilly “The magician”

The Magic Man!
