    Cats vs Michigan in London

    I'm going. Bought my tickets as soon as it was announced. Only thing giving me anxiety is if UK football is in atlanta that weekend...

    Duke loses

    The real crime is that it doesn't matter. Duke is going to the east region as the 2 seed (I'm sure they would have found a way to get them a 1 seed were it not for last night). Their 1 seed will be San Diego State who has to travel 3000 miles east. Their 2 and 3 seeds will be eastern teams...

    For Those That Have Been to Nashville - SEC Tournament

    I think the Wed games are a complete snoozefest, but the Thursday games are sometimes fun. If the SEC has decent depth, then there are usually 2-3 good teams playing on Thurs. The best thing about the SEC tourney is that you get a ton of UK fans in a good town (Nashville, ATL, New Orleans)...

    Bilas worst person in college basketball

    No issue with the article, but I can't stand Bilas. I used to think he was a great "tell it like it is" guy, but he has become insufferable. He's an egomaniac who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room (think Mike Decoursey, but with a much higher profile). He also is a coach...

    OT: best way to buy NCAA tickets?

    if it's a must that UK is in the game, then yes, you may be out of luck. UK being in the game jacks up the ticket prices. If we're playing another blue blood or another team that travels (e.g. UNC, Kansas, et al), then you'll be a fortune for good seats. I will say, however, that I've noticed...

    Unbelieveable Dook BS

    It is only unbelievable if you haven't been watching. Duke should be on a two game losing streak but officiating gave them two wins. Happens every year, rinse and repeat. Just one reason why college basketball has slid to a second-tier sport.

    An Arkansas Coach gives UK credit on the win

    This. UK is easily first and UT and Arky are close for second place when it comes to fan passion and a big desire to win in basketball. Auburn is underrated, they really are enjoying basketball since Pearl arrived.

    I bought my plane tickets and hotel. Excited, this should be a great trip.

    Interesting article about the UK - Michigan London game.

    Agree. If you're going to ask fans to travel, give us 2-3 quality games while we're there. This is one reason why Vegas was so great. Yes, I know only 6,000 showed up for Utah on a wed night but it was an awesome atmosphere all weekend in vegas. I would favor Cal taking UK to vegas every...

    Interesting article about the UK - Michigan London game.

    I think the proliferation of neutral games should slow down. I don't know that UK needs to play in Brooklyn and Chicago and New Orleans and Atlanta all of the time. But, I love some of the special neutral games like Vegas and (next year) London. This is a once in a lifetime trip for some...

    Anyone Else Notice The Crowd?

    i'm here. It's a great venue. It will be a much larger crowd on saturday. This is Utah's half of the home and home (i.e. UK brilliantly would not go to Salt lake city and instead gets itself a de facto neutral home game a few days before we were playing in the same building in our rotating...

    Vegas Role Call

    Heading out early Wed. morning, returning on Sunday afternoon. Staying at Cosmopolitan. Was there a few years ago for the UNC game and it was a blast. UK fans were everywhere (though oddly enough, there were nearly as many UNC fans at the game, they just weren't as visible as BBN around vegas...

    UK struggling to sell tickets

    I'm a guy who likes attending games, but it's pretty easy to poke holes in the idea that "I can't think of a scenario where watching the game at home is a better experience than seeing it live"...um let me count the ways: 1) Seat comfort: Chairbacks help, still isn't fun being wedged between...

    UL fan base travels well

    Pretty embarrassing turnout for UL. Texas Tech has really developed a good traveling fanbase, they were loud and plentiful. Game 2 has a ton of UCONN fans and a bunch of IU fans. More evidence that UL is bush league
