Since EVERYBODY in the challenge picked Wichita State to beat The Cats, everybody except ME, is there anybody going to stand up for The Big Blue? Wichita State is going down!!!! This will set up the absolute biggest game in the Louisville / Kentucky rivalry EVER. This state will be nuts after The Cats beat Wichita State.
I think UK might be able to beat WSU, but I don't think it's likely. I like Kentucky's chances against UofL better than against the Shockers if they somehow win today.
If uk plays defense they'll win. I think our size will hurt Wichita. I see uk out scoring them in the paint and dominating the boards. But.... You never know what uk team will show up. Should be a good game
I'll stand up with y'all for the Cats...
Wichita's undefeated run was cool, but their schedule was weak as all get out. I seriously don't think they played a Top 25 team all year. They still have something to prove to me that they are legit. Beat Kentucky, beat Louisville, then I'll drink the Kool-Aid.
Kentucky can beat Wichita State and I feel like they will. Unfortunately, I also feel like they will lose to Louisville in the rematch if it happens.
Go Big Blue!
BOOM.
That just happened.
35...and 1.
GO BIG BLUE!
Lord A'mighty, a rematch with the Cards is next. Gonna be crazy up in here this week!!!!!!

I just posted that on Facebook and got BITCH SLAPPED by Big Blue. Something about UK just beat an undefeated 1 seed. Yea, but a 1 seed against SHITTY RPI teams is not the same as a ONE seed against serious competition.
I loved the game. I'm not a big UK fan but I watch them when they play. Next week however......I will be wearing Cardinal Red :) .

Fun moment for UK in an otherwise lackluster year...and Wichita State played a hell of a game, but the reality is that they had not faced size and talent the likes of Kentucky this year. It so happens that Kentucky also came to play. Epic game, for certain. I kinda hated to see either team lose.
Wichita State got their #1 seed by going undefeated against weak RPI teams...facts is facts.
I'm ecstatic Kentucky won and look forward to the rematch with Louisville. I'd love love love nothing more than to see them beat Louisville on Friday, but I really don't see us pulling that off again. Doesn't mean I won't be cheering like hell for it!
That game was awesome. I was on the edge of my seat those last few minutes. That game felt like a final four game to me. So much effort by both teams. Uofl will be another nail biter. I'll be rooting for my guys in blue but uofl is playing some dang good ball right now. Can't wait for that game.

I love ya George but I'm about to Double Bitch Slap ya. People talk about Kentucky Fans being the most arrogant obnoxious (sp) fans. Well when people make stupid comments like you just made whst do you expect. Was Wichita State deserving of a Number 1 seed, ABSOLUTELY!! Lets say they were the worst of the 4 number 1 seeds, which means the next obvious choice would have been the 4 - Number 2 seeds. Kansas and Villanova both choked out earlier than their seeding says as usual. Wisconsin and Michigan neither won the Big Ten tourney, if either had then they would have been deserving. None of the 2 seeds are worthy, 3 seeded Duke / Syracuse?? Wichita State was the best choice as Number 1 seed and the Cats whipped that Ass. Just give the compliment and go on. Like I said earlier, I love ya buddy and I hope you wear your U of L stuff all week flying your flags on your car proudly, especially since IU is nowhere, and then Friday night you can post some other excuse after the Big Blue spank that Cardinal Ass AGAIN this season.
They were definitely deserving of a 1 seed. That game will probably be the best game of the entire tourney as far as both teams playing at a high level, crowd intensity, etc. Wichita State played a great game, UK played a great game and UK was one basket better on Sunday. Kentucky was underseeded talent wise as an 8 but not season performance wise. Just look at the other 8 seeds....Memphis, Gonzaga, Colorado, and then UK. One of those teams stands out and it's not Gonzaga cause they **** unlike the other 3. It's UK with mega-talent - they just ended up in Wichita's bracket and that's the way the cookie crumbled this year.
