Are heading to the Bluegrass. UK has four and U of L has two. Chane Behanan from Booling Green is the only Kentucky high school player to make it.

For Mills, even IU managed to land a burger boy with the Zeller kid. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again. Maybe ol Harry Potter can make IU relevant again, or at least get them to the NIT!

You guys keep hatin' on IU.....thats what smart folk do when the chips are down! We are already back on track to become relevant, if not, formidable again very soon. We already went through getting rid of our no good, cheating coach.....when do you think UK will do the same?

That is the only way KY knows how to win. With thugs and money to pay them.

Don't know too many thugs with a 4.0 GPA and already has enough college credits to be a junior.

Wow even this turned into an opportunity to toss hate at UK. Tough crowd....

The "Only" way KY knows how to win. Sure does sound like some sour grapes coming from a fan of a team that made it to the Championship game in 2002, which is the only meaningful NCAA run since 1987. I guess the 1996, 1997, and 1998 teams at UK were full of thugs as well. That was some Thuglife wannabe's, Delk, Walker, Pope, McCarty, Anderson, Mercer, Mills, Sheppard, Magloire, Mohammad, Padgett, Evans, Turner, Epps .... A bunch of money taking thugs these 3 years. You can't name a thug during the Tubby era that did not get taken down a few notches. Drunken Billy G era was just that Drunken. Johnny C era, Demarcus Cousins, THUG, no doubt. Other than that, how many thugs have you seen playing at UK?

I call a spade a spade and IU has a very good coach in Tom Crean and I think he did an outstanding job at Marquette and will do the same at IU. But way too much hating or jealousy on the Big Blue. When our coach is busted for cheating and we are on probation, then hate all you want, but until then sure does sound like a bunch of jealousy to me.

Yea, KY is definitely better than Indiana in the last decade.........and probably the previous decade......

But I will tell you this. From the number I look at above, even though UK has had some STALLIONS in the stable they have not gotten it done.

And you've had your cheaters........

And I don't believe we've ever had a coach who has been involve with a program that VACATED the best wins he's ever had.

Hopefully C. will not bring down UK....................but he might, and you guys are going to take a hell of a lot of crap if it happens......and I for one......cannot wait

If 10 Elite 8's in 18 years is "Not getting it done", then I sure would hate to see the UK haters come out of the woodwork if they ever did "get it done". Even with 10 loss Tubby, who was ran out of town had 5 of these in 10 years. Throw out the Billy G Drunken era and the 10 Elite 8's are done in 16 years. I guess the Big Blue should have had about 6 titles during this time according to all the "Haters", but again, my bet is there are more than 1 program represented here that wishes they "could not get it done like the Big Blue has over the past 18 years", and that includes U of L and IU plus all the rest.

Duke has 5 Elite 8's in 18 years
Kansas has 10 Elite 8's in 18 years.

Looks like UK is doing quite well for itself, especially going from Pitino (who was a GOD here before his ego took over), then Tubby Smith (who never got the credit he deserved for being an outstanding coach and then was ran out of town), then a Drunk and now Johnny C. Sure seems to me UK has had it's share of changes and all they do is WIN WIN WIN BABY

You guys keep hatin' on IU.....thats what smart folk do when the chips are down! We are already back on track to become relevant, if not, formidable again very soon. We already went through getting rid of our no good, cheating coach.....when do you think UK will do the same?

When will UK do the same?...I guess when they start having seasons like IU has had for the bigger part of this decade.....You know your team is going in the right direction when formidable is a high expectation

I think what you meant to say was "when our coach gets caught cheating AGAIN". I know, I know.....it hasn't happened yet.....but it will. We had one too, you'll find out just how much it hurts. Yes, we have been non-competitive the last few years. That's what happens when you gut a program to make it and it's players clean again. Kick us while we're down, pay back is a b*%$#. And while we're talking about it.....if UK didn't win a Nat. Championship last year with FIVE first round draft picks they never will! FYI.....by my standards UK is formidable this year. A tough out for anyone, anywhere.....but not a true contender.

[Fishin is life]

I'll give it to you that formidable would describe this years UK team....They could beat a good team in the tournament but probably won't make a deep run....Not gonna argue with that....IU is 5 good players from being anything more than formidable....I don't see them being a "contender" running any of their 5 starters on the floor....but thats JMO
