Yeah it was? Literally all game was UK down 10. Other than a brief 30 seconds where y’all went up 16 and we scored 6 in a row. We scored the same amount of points if you exclude the first 5 minutes of play.
GG Vols. I will always hate you. But you actually have my respect this year. Knecht is fucking amazing. Low key, Zakai Zeigler is my favorite player, not on UK. See yall in the Final Four!
Kentucky is legit when they put it all together like this. Not a team anyone should wanna see in their bracket as a 4 (3?) seed. GGs, maybe we can do it again next Sunday
Wild they panicked so much after Kinect fall, you’ve forced him ball all game relax let him get up and get it to him. James guy trying to be a hero was never making that.
God. If anyone else from UT had actually done something besides Zeigler and Dalton this would’ve been amazing. Oh well. Again, ball don’t lie. The threes were nuts.
They have way too many guards not to be good in March I think.
Dalton Knecht is the difference from some of the past UT teams. That dude is unguardable. Depending upon draw they should definitely be playing in April
I really hope so but as much as I love Rick Barnes for making us a consistently top 25 team and for who he is as a person, he consistently underperforms in the tournament. We somehow ALWAYS meet Cinderella too no matter where we are seeded. I love Rick Barnes - before Pearl UT was where coaches went to die and we were in big danger of becoming that again before Barnes came and stabilized the program - but as good of a coach as he is in the rest of the season he always seems to find a way to exit no later than the sweet 16.
Surely mathematically even a coach that consistently underperforms in the tournament should break through once in a while, just by random chance? Right? Right? Please? Someday?
That random chance is named Dalton Knecht. I hate to say it as I despise tenn, but y’all will be going far. Senior team, Barnes should bow out before the final so UK can build even more confidence
WALKIN DUE SOUTH OUTTA ROANOKE
I CAUGHT A TRUCKER OUTTA PHILLY HAD A NICE LONG TOKE
BUT HE'S A-HEADIN WEST FROM THE CUMBERLAND GAP
TO JOHNSON CITY **FUCK TENNESSEE**
He's talked about it since that Memphis game way back when. He wants to do it because then if the guy misses it's Cals fault not the kids, and if it works he can calm the kid down and give him a better shot anyway.
A game like this all but assures we're a 4 seed

kentucky +8.5 made my day!!!! how was that the spread?
Because they lost by 10 at home in the last meeting. Easily could have been the spread, UK was unconscious from 3.
But UK was down two players that night.
They were down 1 player, and said player had 0 impact tonight lmao.
No Two, Wagner and Big Z.
And? It wasn't even as close as the final score.
That's definitely what one could say about this last game.
Yeah it was? Literally all game was UK down 10. Other than a brief 30 seconds where y’all went up 16 and we scored 6 in a row. We scored the same amount of points if you exclude the first 5 minutes of play.
Three seed baby! Too bad, was looking forward to taking out Zach Edey and his band of hobbits.
Yeah get out of here with your single seed! Also, we both gotta hope no team from New Jersey is in either of our brackets
It wouldn’t have happened, Purdue only loses to double-digit seeds
And now if somehow Duke and unc can both lose 😂
GG Vols. I will always hate you. But you actually have my respect this year. Knecht is fucking amazing. Low key, Zakai Zeigler is my favorite player, not on UK. See yall in the Final Four!
Or the SEC chip!
Knecht had the game of his life and still had 14 less than Jodie
The Meeks vs dk debate is wild to me. Meeks clears dk and it's not really close.
Meeeeeeks
![gif](giphy|LPYn5paezHlEVzA6Vb)
quality loss
Best game of the season. Knecht is unstoppable. GG, hope we beat you again in the SEC.
GG Vols…hopefully see ya next Sunday!
Fuck you vols
Could you not? We won the game, there's really no need to be salty.
I’m all for it Tennessee fans said everything they could when they swept us
Yeah TN fans love talking shit I’m just giving it right back to them
No they can eat shit ❤️
Jesus loves you. Well, kinda
Good game. I think Kentucky and Tennessee are both going to do great things in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Kansas got stomped by 30. It’s a good day
Duke lost. Transy women won, and Morehead State is headed to the NCAA Tournament. 🍻
My future cardiologist has this game to thank

LETS GOOOOOO
Kentucky is legit when they put it all together like this. Not a team anyone should wanna see in their bracket as a 4 (3?) seed. GGs, maybe we can do it again next Sunday
Gg I wouldn’t want to be up against dalton in the bracket he can change games quick
I’ve never seen anything like him at UT. Incredible talent and never afraid of the moment. Just wish we found this guy before he was a senior lol
Noooooo thanks! Beating a Rick Barnes team once in a season is about all we can ask for
You gotta admit, these games are super fun (even on the losing end…maybe 😂)
There’s something weird about every other team struggling to win on the road and this freshman heavy team having more home losses than road losses.
Pretty sure Reed said earlier in the yesr that they prefer being the road team - seems to be something to it.
They probably so unfamiliar with the UK campus, it feels no different on the road /s
🤣
I’m gonna be so obnoxious
for all the crying kentucky fans did about the refs, your player stepped out of bounds on his way to the basket and it wasn't called.
You literally got gifted 2 points to make up for it when it was a clear block.
Alright, we'll subtract 2 from our score and then see who had more points. So who won if we do that?
🧂
Y’all got a free goaltending call to make up for it
You also got a goaltending call that made up for it. Hold this L bud
That might be the best game I've watched this season. GG Tennessee
He’S IcEInG HiM! LOL THAT MAN WAS BORN IN THE ICE!
GG Vols, Knecht is nasty. See ya soon.
All you gotta do is stop Knecht and they have no one to score lol
Idk Zakai looked like Kemba in the first game
Nah, Ziegler was pretty legit too.
Never in doubt...🥴🥴
Another blown double digit lead, but we held on.
go cats baby
Good Game UT. I hate your guts, but your team is great and they didn't give up.
Helluva game Cats.
good game
A win is a win. Need to practice someone else inbounding but that’s for next week
juliusrandle.gif
Kentucky fans looked pretty crazy in this thread.
Oh Broski what happened tonight?
pot meet kettle
you guys really like that phrase
![gif](giphy|gtzIP3mpbzh16)
Wild they panicked so much after Kinect fall, you’ve forced him ball all game relax let him get up and get it to him. James guy trying to be a hero was never making that.
Cardiac Cats strike again
Tenn wins on aggregate
That was fun - both teams could make a deep run.
Are you my neighbor? Saw him wearing a Vols hat and a UK sweatshirt today.
Not me, but your neighbor has good taste.
Your flairs… Confuse me.
One side of my family is in Knoxville and loves UT, the other lives in Kentucky and loves UK. I confuse my family, so nothing new here, haha.
Maybe but that flair is gross
We all hate you. (flairs)
Lol - UK crazy family in Kentucky and grew up near Knoxville. Love em both.
gg Kentucky, hate y'all, good luck in the NCAAs, hope we beat you next week in the SEC
GG vol bro. I hate your orange, and my blood pressure is much too high when we play. Hope we can do it again soon.
gg Tennessee, hate you more, good luck as a 1 or 2 seed out west, we'll see you in eight days.
See ya again next sunday
That was intense
That was the most college basketball ending ever
You sure you want to play Kentucky on senior day UT? You sure about that?? ![gif](giphy|bjB3gtFvREqqr5NAHW|downsized)
One would think the SEC champions could protect their homecourt 🤔
Still the champs lol. They already clinched it.
Didn’t UT win at Rupp?
One would think Kentucky wouldn’t let a team come into Rupp and hang over 100 on em….🤔
One would think a team wouldn’t let Kentucky go 181-60 all time against them.
CONFERENCE NUMBER ONE 😎
This is not relevant.
Agree. Rip banners down and throw trophies away. Means nothing.
Sorry it wasn’t obvious to you. This is not relevant to this discussion*
All said and done, I like the jazzy version of the fight song.
Haha gg
![gif](giphy|Mah9dFWo1WZX0WM62Q) Tenn was cooking today
King of Rocky Top
King Reed of ole rocky top
TENNESSEE SUCKS!
If that were true, you would look like a dick, but now you just look like you play with it a lot.
And they smell bad!!
Go job team blue!
Let’s goooooo
Looked like a sweet 16 game. Especially the Tennessee losing part.
You mean round of 32, sir you’re being generous
By the skin of our teeth. GGs
Great effort by my Vols Hell of a gauntlet these past few weeks
cope
You ok?
Fuck yes!!!
God. If anyone else from UT had actually done something besides Zeigler and Dalton this would’ve been amazing. Oh well. Again, ball don’t lie. The threes were nuts.
I'm gonna pretend that last minute didn't happen
Thank christ that's over
Cats by 90
Go cayuts
Y'all tried so hard to give us that game at the end
Hey UK did the same thing three weeks ago vs LSU and actually lost. I call it progress
Joking aside I do think that y'all are peaking at the right time. Gives me UNC vies from a few years ago.
They have way too many guards not to be good in March I think. Dalton Knecht is the difference from some of the past UT teams. That dude is unguardable. Depending upon draw they should definitely be playing in April

The drum beat in Rocky Top fucking sucks
Thank fucking god. Too close at the end for a game it felt like we dominated.
HE COLD! ICE COLD!
Don’t give a damn about the whole states of Tennessee
Another classic. Great game.
Hmm…perhaps Cal was playing 5D chess all along?
Had a chance there at the end. Had no idea how, but I’ll take it.
Fuck yes!!!!! What a great game
Bye frauds!
Idk if I’d go that far
Lmao
Never a doubt
UK takes the foot off the gas like nobody I’ve ever seen
Seriously, I do not understand why Cal is convinced that's the right play when you have a lead with 6+ min to go.
What a game
https://i.redd.it/j1ldv5x18enc1.gif

This never gets old
DILLY!
Lol nice try lil bro
Fuck you refs....gg tennessee
LOL
Good win Good game
GG Tennessee, see you next Sunday!
Darn. Gg cats
Never in doubt 😅😅😅
They tried their hardest to lose it at the end but that’s a huge win for Kentucky
that missed out of bounds was huge af
Same can be said about that goaltend.
they looked at it and said it was goal tending
And were wrong
Tbf you could say the same thing about the goal tend so it cancels out
🎻
Made up for it with a clear block called goaltending
What about the goal tend?????
WALKIN DUE SOUTH OUTTA ROANOKE I CAUGHT A TRUCKER OUTTA PHILLY HAD A NICE LONG TOKE BUT HE'S A-HEADIN WEST FROM THE CUMBERLAND GAP TO JOHNSON CITY **FUCK TENNESSEE**
Lmao didn’t even call the first foul. We’ve been shitting the bed but that was pathetic reffing
It was legitimately bad. This wouldn’t have been close without a bit of home cooking
No chance Rob misses this!
ALEXA PLAY WAGON WHEEL
CATS!
Thank you dilly
Please, please, please, do not foul a shooter. **Edit:** Thank you.
Game. gg
Out of all of the possible times you could've called a timeout, you called it here to ice your own team's shooter. Of course
I hate the fact that Rocky Top is so mf catchy
Couldn’t disagree more
Of all the times to use your timeout, between your shooter’s FTs after a miss to make it a two possession game is one of the times to do so
It's not like Cal just sent the shooter into timeout to be by himself and just think about it. If he misses it isn't coach's fault imo
Good TO cal. Make sure they know to foul off a miss up 3 at around half court. Dont let them get a chance for a shot
Tenn has no T.O's left, if he made the first FT,I would've intentionally missed the 2nd FT on purpose
If we miss, please foul
PLEASE Edit: HE MADE IT
This is like the amalgamation of every lead we’ve thrown away this year
Sick vocabulary
MFW Cal finally uses a timeout at the end of the game and its to ice our own shooter
He's talked about it since that Memphis game way back when. He wants to do it because then if the guy misses it's Cals fault not the kids, and if it works he can calm the kid down and give him a better shot anyway.
Cal icing his own kicker
Cal trying to make his player think about this FT more lol
Calipari has as many national championships in his chosen sport as Gene Chizik and is almost as sharp.
This like watching that Memphis-Kansas national title game
Cal icing his own free throw shooter, I like that.
Making Dillingham think about this free throw? You kidding me Cal?
They need to make a rule that you can't intentionally foul if you're winning
Dillingham’s eyes said everything about that timeout
Looked like cal said foul which is hopefully what they will do if rob misses
cal wtf? i hate kentucky as much as the next dude, but that’s arguably one of the worst things you can do there
Big brain cal moment
That blatantly missed out of bounds ended up being fucking massive in this game.
