Whelp. My bracket just got shot. Oh well. Glad to see the Cheats go.

We better bring our A game. All these upsets will only embolden tomorrow’s lower seeds.

Watching these UNC and BYU (likely) round outs, it’s hard not to think… are you really telling me a guy like Caleb Wilson or AJ Dybantsa (or Ament, etc) wouldn’t have had as good or better a year playing as the star of a Kentucky team they probably could have elevated to a top 4 seed and a deep tourney run? And made similar or more money, more tv exposure, more fans… are we/Pope really so uncool that we can’t sell that? What are we doing wrong? I feel like a lot of our JMI/Pope personality/Mitch conspiracy theorizing is just attempts to answer that question.

Man, you just can’t get Pope out of your head can you?
It’s insane how all these people do is rag on Pope! Man, I hope we make a deep run! For nothing else, but to shut these so called fans up! It’s annoying as hell. Literally all they do is bust Pope’s balls constantly. It’s borderline weird.

BYU rolled out four sorry sacks and a future all-NBA player today.
BYU wasn’t exactly killing it when they had Saunders either, to be honest. No amount of money will make BYU beyond above average. Most kids don’t want to go to a Mormon school and many parents don’t want their kids to be coached by a Mormon either.

Largest comeback in 1st round history 19 pts ?

That seems to be not real I would have to think there has been 20+ comeback before
That’s what it says online under the game write up on espn. Largest first round deficit not all time for every round.

Also does Terrance Hill Jr. have an eligibility left? That dude balled out for VCU.

On one hand the Dybantsa acting is bush league. On the other hand I can't really fault him for trying to do everything in his power to try and get his team a NCAAT win.

Well done Texas

I hear you man, wouldn't it be sweet to shut them mouthy bastards up. Some of them claim to be 20+ year fans, and want Kentucky to lose 1st game. Sorry a.ss fans suck.
