I've known since we started 1-6 or whatever that this team was terribly flawed and would face a uphill battle to get into post-season play. But, I care.
Watching today as all the teams were announced along with their tournament pairings and not seeing Kentucky mentioned (other than their absence) was still painful.
If "KENTUCKY IS COLLEGE BASKETBALL" as a certain coach famously said, then we should be in the NCAA tournament every damn year. No if's, and's or but's. NO EXCUSES. The program has the best facilities, best fans and supposedly the best coach in the country. Yet, we're sitting on our asses at tournament time. This is unacceptable.
And one word of warning...if we are in a similar situation (no tourney bid) this time next year, if KU has surpassed us in all time wins and we have to watch another flame out in the SEC...there's going to be a LOT of UK fans pi$$ed off. I mean it's going to be insanely bad.
