[Crawfords Corner]

Has a player from both teams ever scored 40 in the same tournament game before?

Edey has 39
Knecht has 37

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Looks like the orange trash still stuck on 0 all time final fours.

 

[ukcatz12]

That’d be cool and could call it a fluke if Kentucky also didn’t beat UNC, Alabama and Auburn.

And we lost to UNC Wilmington and Oakland. If we beat Oakland we would have struggled with NC State and most likely lost to Marquette. This team was flashy but really not a great basketball team.

First Final Four for Purdue in FORTY-FOUR years.

Barnes chokes again. Out of the last three or so seasons, UT has had a very experienced, good team. And yet still hasn't ever made a FF.

Shame /s

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

Tennessee 0 Final Fours all time LOL

 

[kywildcatsfan#1]

Welp, Barnes has removed his name from consideration of another Final 4.

 

[FilsonCat]

Vols going home.

 

[Jack2936]

Ahhhhhahaha. Just ain't meant to be...Tennessee!!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Still no FF

 

[billCgmx]

Because we didnt beat the **** out of UT @ UT.

Purdue is perfect for UK. Most teams don’t have the big guys to contest Edey. Could’ve thrown 3 7 footers at the mofo

Well, if for nothing else, we were defined by our great defense this season.

 

[Kamuka]

Thank you Purdue because UT fans are insufferable enough even with a empty trophy case.

 

[247CATS_rivals396046]

Will UT ever get a final four???

 

[Wildcats389]

NO FF FOR UT

 

[Kingslayer07]

Barnes chokes again!

 

[Ugoff]

Another wicked witch goes down.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Now do the damn thing NC State

If there ever was a year for them to get there it was this year

 

[Crawfords Corner]

3 for 15 from 3 and 21 for 33 from the FT line....... and won. Amazing job by the Purdue players.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Gonna be uconn vs Purdue in title game.

Could Duke beat Purdue?

Just assuming they beat down nc state today.

 

[specialkd24_rivals116121]

Thank you Purdue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FilsonCat]

I am hoping Burns puts the sumo post moves on the flopping Devils.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Knecht made 14-31

Rest of the team 10-31

 

[TortElvisII]

Not trying to be a jerk. Just saying we can’t make it out of the first round against teams like St Peters and Oakland. Kinda sounds stupid to say we are better than teams in the elite 8. But I do get why you say it. We have equal or more talent than either of these teams. But our coach approaches these games like it’s a McDonald’s AA game.

That's not because we're not good. It's because we're not focused on advancing. It's about the draft man.

 

[oldsports_]

Kentucky is better than both of these teams and that pisses me off

So Oakland is better than UT, UK, and Purdue?

 

[bbnkat02]

If there ever was a year for them to get there it was this year

They had a damn good team the two years ago when they won the SECT. Choked in the S16.

I know we're down and can't say much but ZERO FFs. I mean, WOOF.

 

[TortElvisII]

Barnes chokes again!

In no way did Barnes choke.

I don't care how early we get bounced, I'm always crapping on UT or UofL.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Stick to Peach Bowls, Vols. Final Fours aren’t your thing.

 

[bbnkat02]

In no way did Barnes choke.

I'd say not making a FF when you had one of your best teams ever is a choke. Hell, we say it when we do it.

 

[Festivus Miracle]

The UK loss helped to knock them out of a one seed. They might have had this final four of them had NC's one.

They had a great year and I wouldn't call it a choke. The players themselves were not unlikable. The fans? Whew, insufferable.

 

[Catlogic15]

Barnes chokes again!

Barnes didn’t choke. Hard to beat that huge Mongolian MF that gets every call.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

"Parity!" - Mdwildcat

As two of the preseason top 4 teams are in the Final Four, plus preseason top 10 UConn.

Two bluebloods as well, and all reps from Power 5 conferences.

Yep.

Parity indeed!

 

[TortElvisII]

I'd say not making a FF when you had one of your best teams ever is a choke. Hell, we say it when we do it.

You would be wrong. Losing to Oakland is choking. Losing to Purdue is not choking.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Barnes chokes again!

If making the Elite Eight and losing to a #1 seed and preseason top 3 team is "choking", then what do we call what's been happening in Lexington for four years?

 

[TortElvisII]

The UK loss helped to knock them out of a one seed. They might have had this final four of them had NC's one.

They had a great year and I wouldn't call it a choke. The players themselves were not unlikable. The fans? Whew, insufferable.

Yeah if it wasn't for UK they would have been in the west as the one seed.

 

[Catcatcatcat]

Edey is an endangered species. Nobody get close.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Edey is an endangered species. Nobody get close.

As long as he goes for 40 against Duke and UConn, I'm okay with him being on the endangered species list.

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

I mean I get that but honestly he gets mugged up and down the floor lol they could call multiple fouls every single possession.

He drew like 20 fouls. So he basically got a foul called every trip plus he initiates a bunch of that contact.

To never get a foul himself though is completely ridiculous.

 

[bbnkat02]

You would be wrong. Losing to Oakland is choking. Losing to Purdue is not choking.

So was losing to Whisky choking?

I don't give a crap. UT can kiss my big fat butt.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Barnes didn’t choke. Hard to beat that huge Mongolian MF that gets every call.

Hes unstoppable. Gets fouled every time he touched the ball too, he should get more calls actually.
