Plus, we were playing on the road.

Every cloud has a silver lining. This was a GREAT learning opportunity for our young squad!

Just relax!

Umm they lost almost that whole team. We just got beat by a garbage team. It happens. Doesn't make them good though.

They lost everybody, not to mention they lost 11 games last season.

This was a bad loss dude.

It does seem like most teams are getting a bad loss or two this year tho. Still a lot of basketball to be played but our team hasn't grown up just yet.

And usc was near the bottom fg % but we made them look like they were Birds Celtics out there shooting. And why do we keep playing behind the post players??? We ran the same weave crap out front the entire game, do we not have any other offensive sets?

Put uscjr in a different bracket last year and they would have been lucky to get to the sweet 16 . Bet they don't even get into the dance this year .

Um what? After beating Marquette, SC beat #2, #3, and #4 seeds on it's way to the Final Four. Pretty tough road, regardless of the fact that the first two games were in Greenville. And if Thornwell hadn't had the flu for the Final Four I believe SC would've won it all, the Gonzaga game came down to the final seconds even with Thornwell sick.

Do you like................... bet????

Not with some online stranger :p I did win several $5 bets though with co-worker on games during I believe the 2003 season (my final year at UK)...but since I didn't want to mess with that silly point spread stuff but to still make the bets fair, I was only allowed to bet the $5 when UK was lower ranked in the AP poll than its opponent.

As you can see here, we beat several higher ranked teams that year...but sadly I would never get to see the alleged Mari Gras atmosphere at UK when they go to the Final Four :( Hee hee I was at the 2/4/03 Florida game when we beat a "#1 ranked" team at Rupp for the first time since 1979. :)

And in 1996 our class (teacher of that class helped inspire me to go to UK) did a tournament pool and I tied for first place:)

And I got to ask, why does USC keep getting mentioned? We haven't played them since they beat us in the 2001 NCAA's...on my 21st birthday no less :( Smart aleckism aside I thought the abbreviation USC belonged to Southern California?

We won the championship in 2012. Didn't make a difference on that 2013 team that lost in the first round of the NIT.

Oh don't even mention the NLT...I just wanted to wear a paper sack over my head that year... :( What a bunch of losers we were that year...but I knew we'd be right back the next year! And was I right or what? :)

BTW I didn't even bother watching the NCAA tournament that year...no seriously if we get eliminated (or in this case God forbid we don't get in at all) I have no reason to care about it afterward. Shoot I honestly don't even bother with the Super Bowl unless my Bostonian wife's Patriots are in it (she's Red Sox first though).

You poor disillusioned individual . You actually believe uscjr was the best team last year ? They got lucky and history proves it . How many Final fours ya'll been to again ?
