Sad considering they play in the sec. Can't name 1 school from that conf that is a basketball school
UK is the only SEC school where basketball is bigger than football. Their fans still don't understand the nuances of the game. They cheer for their basketball team like its a football game. Overall-wearing rednecks shouting "Holding!" is quite a sight to behold at a basketball game.

Can say the same about kansas I can't think of a another basketball school in the big 12. But kansas does a better job of dominating the big 12 than uk in the sec.

I love this because I can just see the Kentucky fans foaming at the mouth over it! That said, championships, and Final Fours trump preseason and final season polls imo. Hardware talks, and polls (bs) walks. And finally the 'one and done' approach with it's rapid turnover is going to have it's downsides...we've seen a little of that with Duke.

Anyway, I'm all for making fun of Cal, and the Cat fans (goodness knows they deserve it), but I don't quite buy into this article.

Robert Morris and 38-1 says it all IMO! That 38-1 team would have had more losses if the teams they were playing close just made their free throws. ND had them beat in the elite eight. Free throws killed them at the end. Ole miss and a&m would have beaten the 38-1 team if they had just made free throws.

Too bad they don't play us in Cameron this year. I can hear the crazies now, chanting OVER-RATED!!! Clap clap clap....OVER-RATED!!!.....And to see the faces of the kensucky mildcats fans.....just priceless!!!

The lack of NCAA titles won by UK since Cal arrived does't say much about one and done players except failure to achieve expectations. We can all identify with that far too well. Here's to hoping that changes this season and next for us.

We love getting the one and dones. I do too, but I think a team still must have a few good upperclassmen. I'll take a really good junior and senior any day of the week. I wouldnt feel as good about this Duke team if Grayson wasn't on it. Matter of fact, I wouldn't trade him for Kennard or Frank Jackson.

Kentucky fans are the worse with their ridiculous claims of going 40-0 year in and year out. I was so happy to see them go 38-1 in person right after our Blue Devils dismantled MSU. The kitty cat fans just stood outside of Lucas Oil trying to sell their tickets hahaha.

I went to the national championship game that year and there were still uk fans at the game. It was hilarious. I saw an older couple there and the guy was wearing a Duke shirt with the D and E crossed out. What a jerk and during the pep rally for Wisconsin there were uk fans attending it. And the best part other than Duke winning the national championship of course was when they announced Cal’s name for hall of fame induction at halftime. That whole stadium just lit up in Boo’s. It was priceless!

Bought tickets from a crying UK couple. $200 total for 4 of the lowest level. Was so happy.

Having just went to the KY vs. Centre exhibition last night, I didn't see a single person in overalls. ;)

I did, however, immediately feel like I was walking into the lions den as a Duke fan entering Rupp Arena, tho.
