We have to win Saturday...
- Thread starter BlueEmpire

I'm in the same situation. The place I work at here in Madisonville has their headquarters in Indiana. So there is several IU fans I would have to put up with
they have talent. Thomas Bryant, troy williams, yogi are talented players. They got a couple other dudes too. Uk recruited williams and bryant.
Indiana has more talent than south carolina or vanderbilt. Theyd been top 3 in the SEC with us and a/m.
Likewise. Not worried about IU in the slightest. UNC on the other hand..... Man. Really hope providence pulls off the upset and breaks the hearts of the selection committee.
Anyone who is not at least slightly worried about Indiana is lying in order to make themselves feel better. Teams lose all the time to teams they shouldn't lose to (and I am not even sure this is a case where we "should" beat Indiana). Indiana is the regular season champion for the Big 10 conference. They may not be a juggernaut, but neither are we.
Just because you like Big 10 play doesn't mean it's good. First to break 50 points crap wins. This isn't corn field this is Cal and a Kentucky team looking for respect. This little team means nothing and we'll be the joke if we some how lost.
We might not be a juggernaut. But at the same time based on how we've played the last 2 weeks. We actually might be a juggernaut. I don't think there's a team in the country playing better than us right now. We've hit our stride at the right time, and honestly now that we're hitting on all cylinders. Who knows. Idk if anyone can stop us. Maybe. But idk I could honestly see us maybe coasting thru the tourney. At the same time I could see us losing to UNC. Definitely not IU though that team doesn't play defense so they can't beat us. You're going to have to play defense to beat UK and IU doesn't know what defense is. But yea as I said. We're playing like a team that can't and won't be stopped right now. We're a buzzsaw ready to cut thru anyone who gets in our way. I truly believe we are the best team in the country at this point in time. I could be wrong. But if this keeps up then we are the ONLY great team in the country this season.... If we keep this up. I could very well be wrong. But I like our chances and I wouldn't be surprised if we went thru the tourney in a similar fashion like we did in 2012 (not saying this team is as good or even close). This is one of the best college back courts of all time. So why not?
My boss is an IU fan.
I would really enjoy going to work Monday if we win. If we lose, not so much.

Yea.. No.. Only team I've been semi worried about is UNC since the brackets came out.. If you wanna be scared of the Loosiers,, more power to ya..
My daughter married a big time hoosier fan and while he and I are very cordial and respectful neither of us want our team to lose this game. We both agree that each should have been seeded better and would love to play in the sweet 16. His parents on the other hand are the epitome of ornery IU fans. Every time we are together it's nothing but backhanded snide remarks and while I keep my cool for my daughters sake, I'm not sure I could handle an IU win.
I live in Bloomington, and will be moving back to Kentucky in a couple of years. But the thing that shocked me the most, is that in the IU stores they sell framed photo's of the Wofford shot from 2012. They are still obsessed with that win but try to forget about what happened in the tourney that year. They have a much greater seething hatred of UK basketball, and around here they think we are still a close rival. IMHO I don't think Kentucky thinks of Indiana much. I see it like Indiana is an ex-girlfriend that got dumped and is still irrationally angry. I hope to god UK wins.
I don't even think of IU as a blue blood anymore. To me it's a bigger deal beating ul or UF then it is IU. Those two will never come close of becoming Blue Blood. But for some reason some feel they are still a big basketball school. When really they like the Colts and NFL now.
Indiana will come to play and they will play hard, we at times still look like we are learning. IU has been down and they know whats at stake, Murray better hit most of those shots he was missing last night or it will be a disappointing end to the season, IU looked a lot more fluid last night than we did and we are prone to foul trouble Lee picked up two quick ones last night...with that said we can beat them but it won't be easy...the oldest lesson in the book is never to underestimate your opponent.
That's not true. I'm not even remotely worried about anybody. The trophy is all but ours. Playing the games is just a formality at this point.
By far, this will be IU's super bowl, so hopefully, the Cats come to play...please do not lose this game, guys. The level of harassment from those chumps will rival UL fans. The worst experience I had with fans was at the Regional final in 2012 in Atlanta when UK beat IU. I had to move my family to another seat to avoid IU fans who were haranguing us. That was inexcusable and totally classless on their part.
AMEN! "Coach Tom Crean is AWESOME and deserves a LIFETIME contract!" This advertisement was paid for by the committee for a better Hoosier.
Catsfan, do you work for Wood-Mizer? One of my good friend's grandfather started the company.
